Having good luck with GOG sales lately. A few weeks ago decided to try playing Torchight II with my sons after we finish Icewind Dale and today was able to pick it up for $5 vs the usual $20.
@variablepulserate In a lot of ways automated probes, robots, and satellites are more effective space explorers anyway, and NASA is still pretty good1 in that area- particularly on Mars.

Aside from the James Webb Space Telescope money pit.
Another productive night of Icewind Dale. We're down to the final endgame, but I suspect it will take us a couple more days to complete at least.
@matigo Of course, particularly because of how the budget process works in Congress. Speaking of heavy lift rockets I'm looking forward to seeing what NASA does with the Sea Dragon in the second season of For All Mankind.

So apparently there's a huge outbreak at the local pasta factory1 in Spokane. 30+ employees tested positive and one of those had two DUIs in one week and exposed six police officers and a jail inmate.😐
Didn't know we had one before this news to be honest.
@matigo that and they've been focusing on a heavy lift vehicle with the sole mission of keeping people in all 50 states employed.

Did a bunch more yard work this afternoon. I wonder how many tons of dirt I've moved since we've lived here?
@joeo10 Unfortunately NASA made a bad bet on the Space Shuttle as the US's sole means of manned space flight and it's taken us 40 years to correct course.

Figured out a little bit more about the Diablo 2 mod scene. Apparently Blizzard's 1.14 series of patches screwed everything up for modders so everything relies on the older 1.13 patch. Also found the GoMule utility for sharing my existing Mac character stashes.
@variablepulserate ? They supply the astronauts, the launchpad, the oversight, and the funding of course.
