Schedule for the Week of 08/18/2025

There’s an interesting thing with the remodel going on in my basement where I really just don’t care much about the color of the floors, the walls, the light fixtures but I really care what gauge wire is in the wall, what size conduit the data cables are in, or very specific thoughts on the sump setup. I feel like our contractor is used to people getting very worked up over tile and not so much over wiring. Definitely been interesting, but our contractor has been very accommodating to my, more unusual, requests!

On Monday Will joins us for another round of Abiotic Factor! We’re having a good time, so we’re going to give it another go and see where we end up with it. On Tuesday it’s time for Gamescom so we’ll be talking over the Opening Night Live presentation to experience the spectacle live! On Friday we’re back with more Star Trek: Judgment Rites, possibly the conclusion of it, and I’m curious how it all ties together!

Speaking of Star Trek, our Watchcast continues as we near the end of Season 02 of the original run. We’ll have the Ramblecast and Podcast, as usual, and on Thursday we’ll have a live Patron Q&A so go get your questions in now!
