A physicist works in secret to build a wormhole generator, but its failure leads to surprising consequences.

While I don’t regret watching this, it’s only fair at best in my mind. While it does get tangled up in some of the more interesting themes of time travel fiction, it dances around things and is generally too fluffy for me to keep the tough stuff in my mind.

Synchronicity is a concept in psychology.

I didn’t do anything blogworthy yesterday.
- Hell, I didn’t do anything blogworthy today either.
I now recognize Path of Exile – (2013 game)‘s additional stash tab purchases as being pay to win.
- The upcoming “public stash tab” further-reveals this, as it aids in the marketplace.
- We’ll see how things pan out.

Updated Five Things
Reviewed entertainment listed as reviews and retagged those which are actually glances. I have an overly-optimistic template.
Tweaked some game-related tags.
Though I don’t know how far I’ll get into it, I made Twitch a project.
- It’s very likely I’ll only ever consider Open Broadcaster Software, or its eventual replacement, OBS Studio, for broadcasting on Twitch.

I used it for Twitch.

It’s reasonable. I did some pretty fancy things with it, after some fiddling.

aka OBS
The project was abandoned and rewritten as OBS Studio.

A video broadcasting service. It’s generally used for live-streaming gameplay.

The concept of twitch or other video streaming services confused me until I thought a bit more. See Why would live streaming be popular?

Some Japanese guys are in a prison.

I have no idea what’s going on with this, but after nearly a half an hour I’m just going to give up.

A non-superhero girl is out for revenge, boring the audience to tears.

It has Samuel, but not enough of him to make this a watchable film.

Path of Exile – (2013 game)
- I’m keeping tabs on things, to be prepared for the upcoming expansion in ~7 days.
- Updated it to include build tools and websites.
- Trying to shape the resources more, added the ‘community’ category. I’m trying to make some sort of style template which I can re-use for similar projects.
Reviewed all project tags, edited some.
- Glancing at titles doesn’t even begin to gauge the amount of time I’ve spent on projects. Furthermore, that list isn’t anywhere near complete!
- live projects
- zombie projects
- dead projects
Updated Doctor Who – (2005 show) to carve off the season notes to be in line with my other note-taking.
- Doctor Who (2005) season 1 notes
- Doctor Who (2005) season 2 notes
