I'll be baking with sourdough tomorrow, so I've started the starters tonight, along with mother.

This is tragic. Such a fascinating and bold person to die so young. I also really object to them listing cause of death as "sadness"

Marjane Satrapi: Oscar-nominated Persepolis author and director dies aged 56

The French-Iranian author and illustrator was known for her graphic novel series and Oscar-nominated film.

One of my favorite PSOne era sci-fi racers, right next to Wipeout, was #Rollcage, so I was happy when #GRIP came out even if it wasn't perfect. And now I'm happy to hear the dev hasn't given up and is making a follow up.

Coming soon: GRIP XR

A blazingly fast, futuristic combat racing game with rocket-powered, flippable vehicles.

Honestly, I want to know more. I wonder if it's too late to do a post-mortum type article about this.
I went down a rabbit hole of my history in gaming and found something totally unrelated. Apparenly, back in 2000 System Shock 2 was being ported to the Dreamcast. One of my all-time favorite PC games of the 90s on one of my all-time favorite consoles. Shame it never happened. #retrogaming #dreamcast

Back at work in the cubefarm. I've had to bum a ride from a coworker I've never met to sit here all day doing things I could just as easily be doing from home.
Finally managed to get some gardening done today since I can start to put some weight on my broken ankle. Planted most of the squash seedlings started before my accident and planted seeds for beans, spinach, chard, and peas in the front raised bed. #gardening
First attempt at #sourdough bread from the new starter fresh from the oven.
