Cataclismo is a kind of 4x / tower defense game done by an Indy studio. Interesting story though the voice acting was hit or miss, and the mechanics were good but limited. They game was pretty short but I think it needed to be or would have overstayed its welcome.
Though not as good as the other current Star Wars video game franchise, Outlaws still had a solid story and decent gameplay. Not sure if it did well enough to get a sequel, but I'd play it.
The Phlox in white and purple are blooming nicely this year. The purple ones are called Blue Moon.
I know I already have an example of a squirrel from the bird cam, but this one was just too perfect to not post.
The Alienware gaming desktop I got about 5 years ago has been a great machine, but over the last few days it keeps crashing to blue screen and nothing I do seems to fix it. I wasn't planning on replacing it, it was still able to play games at top settings, but it seems to be on its last leg. Enter my new Cyberpower Infinity 8800 Pro SE. Not only is this thing top of the line, the case and lighting is next level. I thought the Alienware case was funky with its curved shell and RGB ring. On my new machine the clear plexiglass with everything lit up inside is very cool.
Dad has a good group up where he lives, they keep an eye on him. Once word got out he broke his arm several neighbors checked on him, food has been brought over, and the kids across the street drew this to make him feel better.
