Yesterday, my boy’s scout troop had a small get together - a video game social. Not a lot of scouts, but they all had fun.
Some of the older scouts brought a PS5, and they were playing Mortal Kombat 11 (I think). That game’s come a long way. Awesome graphics. Really showcased the brutality. And it had some cool playable characters (other than the usual): Rambo, Robocop, Terminator, Joker. To name a few.

My daughter got into watching Avatar: The Last Airbender awhile back. I didn’t watch all of it, because she mostly watched while I was at work. What I did watch was pretty solid.
So now she’s watching The Legend of Korra (after I reviewed it to make sure it was appropriate). Again, pretty solid. Although I think I the first series was far superior, with a more cohesive and long running story.
Overall, the shows are, as previously stated, pretty solid. A creative and well-designed mythology. Good stories, with compelling themes. Excellent animation. Some great characters.

Saw an article today that talked about archeologists discovering what they think is evidence of use of coal pushed back about a thousand years earlier than previously thought. So going all the way back over 3000 years.
I like such stories. Kind of like the recent stuff about Roman concrete, and the secret ingredients that made it long-lasting and highly durable. It’s cool to see how far back some advancements go.

Definitely a busy Saturday.
I couldn’t get back to sleep after taking my medicine this morning, so I jumped on Diablo 4 for a bit. Then it was shower and shave, and head over to the grocery store and cleaners.
After that it was comic book store.
Now we’re home for lunch.
Later today, we’ll take the boy to get his first cell phone.
