So considering Baku has gone to bed, who volunteers ~~as tribute~~ to post the DT at midnight?

I'll do it if no one else wants to. Will be up until then anyway as waiting on a call my from my son in Florida USA. Some good news to come from there I hope - his wife has just landed a job in Germany so I hope this call will be confirmation that they're moving there later this year. The difficulty is extracting my son from the toils of NASA without anything too restricting in the form of confidentiality agreements. Which could impact his work options. They'll be going anyway, but he would like to work in his field if possible.

Omg! That's great news for his wife!! That's so amazing! 😍

I have my fingers and toes crossed for your son! 🚀

I don’t mind doing it.

Will be up watching a movie and maybe playing BG3 finally.

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Aw yeah, bg3! I still haven't made it to act 3 - partner has been playing space station 14 so no PC for me haha!

I only bought it a week ago. I swear to god I spent more time in the character creator than actually playing it!
