Happy Friday the 13th, I guess? Please observe all safety protocols regarding
navigating around ladders, proper handling of mirrors, and stepping on cracks.
On the other, hand, it seems like
another solar flare (thanks Ant) is once again increasing the chances of
seeing the Aurora Borealis much further south than usual, so skywatchers may be
in luck.

Has anyone here played Selaco yet?
I felt like a shooter, so I tried Ion Fury. I spent a LOT of time in Build games, but and enjoyed this for 10 minutes, but after 30 minutes or so of playing I realized it wasn't making me feel great. I'm sure I'd adapt to the motion with time, but... why? I wasn't loving it enough to stick with that.
So I tried Selaco, another retro shooter, and holy crap. Again, only 30 minutes or so into it, but this game is awesome. The weapons feel so damn good. It's a Doom engine game, more or less, but plays like a cross between Half Life (maybe HL2) and FEAR.
If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends. Slava Ukraini!
