I am very sorry to read this, Ana. Sending prayers, positive thoughts, and hugs to MsMercury and her family.

blur(b)!

Thanks, Marian!

Thanks Ana!

Ah there goes my math professor again

I'm glad you all are as confused as I am! I thought It was me!

Good morning, everyone.

Today is the first day of the landscaping contract and I am so enjoying it! I'm on my patio, drinking coffee and someone else is weeding my beds. After 40 years of yard work this is like a holiday! And they're fast, and thorough. It's awesome.

We are truly into Spring now, with temperatures reaching the mid-teens during the day. I'm off to Home Depot to see if their Garden Centre is open. I need some patio stones to help Dude with getting through the cat door. I think it's too high on one side and he can barely get through as a result. Also getting some creeping thyme to stop weeds in my garden beds. I can plant all of those myself.

Thanks, Ana

Thanks.

I am only about 1 hour of playtime in but this isometric post-apocalyptic point and click adventure shows plenty of promise.

It's point and click all the way, and you can save at will. A bleak washed out colour pallet and a detailed environment, underpinned by relevant sound and a moody score, all build a devastated place I want to spend time in. I also like games with this topish-down perspective so that's a plus as well.

There has been little puzzling thus far, and no one yet to converse with, but I talk to myself. Set in Finland, the voice work is appropriately in Finnish, with your subtitle language of choice easily available.

Left click to move and interact with the world, right click to open your inventory and journal, which includes a map that builds as you go and enables you to fast travel.

According to the Steam page the world is a lot grimmer than it appears to date, so that is something I can look forward to unearthing.

Good morning everyone. I am dog/cat sitting for daughter and the pack is keeping me busy.

A most excellent finish Fogfighter, manXman, Michele, Flotsam and Marian

Have a wonderful Wednesday.
