Sukiyaki in the making
„A Burglar‘s Guide to the City“ is not really what I expected and there are often passages where I thought that they could have been shortened. So far 3 out of 5 (page 157 of 296)
Update: Finished it now. Pretty good book after all. 4 out of 5 , sometimes a bit too long. I would have hoped that there is more about architecture and more details in terms of weaknesses. And I think about getting some lockpicks again.
Uncharted Worlds seem to be the better choice for our group than Traveller. Simpler rules, more or less the same setting. And simple rules are king when you play only once a month imho.
TIL: HumbleBundle doesn’t show you when you purchased a bundle already. But double purchases seem so normal, that they are in the pull-down for support requests 🤦♂️
The Pilot Frixion Gel Pen is really good. Its grip is great, it dries fast and the eraseability is awesome.
A friend went into an electronic discounter & got a laptop recommended with 4GB RAM and a slow HDD. The moment windows update does stuff it gets slow as hell & she wonders what the problem could be. Dear discounters people really think they get good advice from your sales people.
Tomorrow I‘ll receive a new Bulletjournal and Frixion gel pens. Let‘s see if I can get into paper again in 2018. For studying I believe in paper more anyways for taking notes and exam preparation. Laptops are great for writing papers but not for getting stuff into your head.
As I have written before I will soon start studying CS part-time. Any recommendations for getting through math (besides visiting every session and doing all the homework - that’s how I got through all those math (or heavy on math) courses in economics at least)? Any good books?
And the next question is: what do your roleplaying-characters tell about you?
How does it come that the bios of my shadowrun-characters get darker & grittier the older I get? In the past it was the cool hacker, the war hero who used his skills in a more profitable way. Today it is the hardened criminal, abused as a kid, trying to survive in a world of pain
