It’s probably a good thing that the dogs like sitting with me. But some members of the tribe are less inclined to rest if they don’t have their first choice of spot, lol.
Corky took the opportunity for a nappy spot, and often takes my pillow while I’m getting ready for bed.
When Misty jumped into bed, she was perturbed at not being able to take her preferred spot.
Eventually, the great Corkaboo relented under Granny’s gaze, lol.
As usual: Bill Gates, and Reddit, generates something worth reading.
One of the better aspects of having gone grocery shopping a weeek or two before people lost their minds to covid19: being well stocked on pasta, and related yummies.
Misty, and the rest of the peanut gallery of course wish there was more sharing involved. Or something like that.
Needless to say, they will thrilled when meat and gravy treats followed dinner, lol.
Think I’m proclaiming it a new rule around here: no skipping the coffee unless you want to take an afternoon nap.
Taking a quick stab at the Resident Evil 3 Demo, I’m kind of thrilled to see that it remains the kind of awesome that the remake of Resident Evil 2 was in terms of game play, mechanics, and general design flow.
Combined with the release of Doom Eternal, of course, I am rather tempted. And know the virtues of hiding my wallet….lol
Comfortable dogs being comfortable.

The Xbox’s plugs and ports, a visual history.
Nice little view, IMHO.
I pretty much ignored the original Xbox. At the time, I had a Play Station 2 and a PC. By the time the Xbox 360 came out: I had already converted to PC games. So the first iteration of Xbox One was the first time that I actually used one.

Microsoft unveils full Xbox Series X specs with 1TB expansion cards.
So in short they’ve addressed my two real wishes on the hardware front, and jacked up the horse power for tomorrow’s video games.
One of the things I dislike about the original Xbox Ome controller is that it uses MicroUSB, and I’ve largely migrated to USB-C over a slow process of attrition. My controller is one of the few things I still use that calls for a Micro-B connection.
Something I’ve coped with is the storage situation. 500 GB of doesn’t totally suck 2.5” SATA drive is able to deliver load times that aren’t overly comical, but is quite a bit too small when major games are often 30~60 GB each. A decent 1 TB drive on the USB-A ports has made a world of difference.
Beyond that I’ve been pretty happy with how the original hardware platform worked out.
