GhostwriterDoF: Don't worry too much about the nicotine addiction, it is rather mild as addictions go, after 7 days your body can do without any, you'll just have to find something to do with your hands (to keep busy) as the act of smoking is the most addicting part (purely psychological).

Well, I'm working on my books, writing the actual pages and pushing myself to get a full rough draft of the first two books in the series, as soon as possible. It was much easier working on all the details and developing all the characters and worlds... (there is multiple worlds!)

Still, I'm feeling motivated with over a full decade of development work already done, and just want to get this project finished now, so I can start working on other stories that I have been fiddling with.

Other than that, it's a beautiful day! I might even venture out of my cave to hunt down some sub sandwiches. :)

ddickinson: I'm up to nothing much, just work at the moment. I have been trying to look for a scrap of paper on and off all afternoon. My dad "put it somewhere safe", where that is we have no idea. :-)

ddickinson: Well you just make sure you look after yourself. Don't make me send Endre over in his sexy nurses uniform to look after you. :-)

But another hour then I am off work until Monday morning. My partner is still not completely better yet, so we will probably just spend the rest of the weekend relaxing at home.

toxicTom: ...
Kids are strange. The little one can't have it brutal enough and wants me to kill everything, while the big one starts to give me hints how to cope with certain enemies (especially in Skyrim), but (literally!) breaks into tears when I kill some wolf or bear or even when I order an attack on my neighbours in The Settlers.

l0rdtr3k: Little blob requires cuddling. Owl-sama is here? I liked Grimrock so far,quite the game that I like and the graphics are beautiful although is a little hard.

toxicTom: Be hugged!

I also found that LoG on medium get tough really quickly. Won't even try it on Hard.
I don't know about your tastes, but IAmSinistar had found source ports of the Greatgreatgranddad of all dungeon crawlers, Dungeon Master. Available here.

toxicTom: Spent 2 hours playing Train Fever this morning (thanks DD!) with my daughters. The big one (7) liked it very much. She was very fascinated that you zoom in very close and watch the people walking along the street and the horse carts (I'm still in the 1850's) moving about. Fortunately I had looked up how to make some easy money in the beginning, so no sweat. But for playing it with her I might look up a mod or cheat that gives unlimited funds, since she wants to build one railway after another.
The little one (3, almost 4) on the other hand found it incredible boring. She keeps begging me to play something where I kill things.

A while ago I showed F.E.A.R. to my kids. Tbh I wanted to be left alone for a moment and had hoped it would literally scare them off. No luck. Ever since they are whining that I should play this again (little one: "Dad, can you play that game where I'm always startled? Please?!")... Every time enemies would show up they would wince and then laugh happily about it.
When I came to a room where some Alma victim was splattered all over the place, the big one said: "The poor people who have to clean this up.". I gave up.

The rest of the day I was cleaning the place. My wife is not feeling well, so all the work fell to me. Right now I'm preparing dinner. Nothing special since it's already late for the kids.

EndreWhiteMane: Good day all, hope everyone is well. Back from work and ready to enjoy some sunshine and dog poop scooping today.
On second thought maybe I'll just make a pb&j sandwich and think about the first thought. ;)

CarrionCrow: Good afternoon. =)

Think I need more caffeine, but doing okay otherwise.

How's your day been going?

EndreWhiteMane: Pretty good so far, a bit challenging staying alert at work but no real problem.
Gonna have some coffee myself then decide what fun to have this afternoon.

CarrionCrow: Right...potential crap scooping.
Let no one ever say you don't know how to have a good time. -laughs-

EndreWhiteMane: I figure the sun, and the poop, will be there tomorrow if I 'accidentally' do something else today. :-)

The meds are still hitting pretty hard but that's OK, I feel less anxious.

toxicTom: Regarding the kids: Yeah, they're infected. :-) The little one is too young to really play (though she tried Race the Sun). The big one - she loves to play The Incredible Machine, although she has some difficulty with the lasers and other electrical stuff.

My wife already had been sick for two weeks in February. I hope it's not again something serious.
