Reading Christmas day reviews of Hatchimals is about what I expected.
Those poor kids!
But, after having people tell me how I was ruining Christmas because we only had a finite supply, it's surprisingly gratifying.
Does that make me jaded? Should I spend my midlife crisis getting drunk and searching for the six fingered man, who may also be trapped in another dimension due to a squabble with his twin brother.
But that might be too ridiculous as I'm not sure exactly how Kevin Bacon fits in.

I hope Thegreenteagamer is doing alright, haven't seen him around for awhile.
He went through some personal stuff and so had to bow out of a couple of his games -'totally understandable! - so he might still be going through that, or it might just be a rehabituation from forum life leaving him effectively too busy.
Either way, I agree: I'm praying for him, too!

Wow... talk about "the right tool for the job".
Shiro's player loaned me his "hammer drill" to drill bolt holes for my foundation (3/4" holes at least 10" deep). I am afraid it was a "hammer drill" in name only, intended for lighter-weight applications, and not up to penetrating 10" of concrete. This is what it looks like, if a bit older (it still has the yellow casing).
So drilling consisted of hard pressure for a minute or so until the bit got hot, then vacuuming out the hole, then waiting for the bit to cool, then drilling a bit more, then... for a good 30-40 minutes per hole. I only got 2 1/2 (of the 8 required) holes done before the Christmas break.
I jokingly put a "hammer drill for putting bolt holes in foundations" on my Christmas list. My brother, being my brother (and whose job is to break airplanes), said, "I know just what you need."
Cue this monster showing up on my doorstep. (Not advertising De Walt over Bosch, just what my brother got me.) Had to run off to the hardware store for an SDS bit and...
...holy good frigging carp!!!!
10" of concrete? Yeah, I'll clear that for you in... 23 seconds!!!
The holes are done, and my afternoon is looking up.
I love tools.

Rogue One was an awesome movie!
The CGI was a bit distracting... but it was also really well done, cleverly used, and a delight to behold at the same time!
Re: ships; I see the complaints, but figure it could have been a property of the smaller's engines.
Holy carp, though. 'Dat ending. And the visuals.
Blind dude and robot are the best!

Am I the only one that wants to call themselves a Dweeb.
Perhaps I should find out what it is first.
To Google!
types in search engine "nude Dweeb"
Edit: boring, studious! I'm neither of those, I don't even know what studious means. Still, one must further research the nude Dweeb phenomenon.
For Science!!

Ah, gotta love doing business with local shops.
So I ordered, quite literally, about a ton of building materials (a dozen sheets of 1/2" plywood, two dozen sheets of 1/2" drywall, insulation, etc.).
This morning, one guy in a truck showed up. No dolly, no forklift, no help. Just him and me, unloading a truck for about 20 minutes.
My ankle Did Not Approve.
Ah, well, to work, to work, to work! First, moving the wiring from under the rafters to over them. Whee?
