Darkest Dungeon: Crimson Court

So following one false start in which I realised how hard the expansion content was going to be (Vampire crocodile, really?), I'm making good progress on this excellent add on.

Of course, as with most permi-death campaign games this means I can no longer play it when drunk or reasonably hungover. I envisage this seriously cutting into gaming time in the near future.

Happy 2018 by the way, if I don't get maudlin enough to blog tomorrow evening!

Trump fumbles in Middle East

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/06/trump-to-plunge-middle-east-into-fire-with-no-end-with-jerusalem-speech

I'm starting to think that Trump must be competing with somebody for the title of worst American president/ international leader in living memory.

I mean surely nobody could be so stupid as to think that this will have any positive effects beyond massaging the egos of hardliners in Israel and maybe giving him a slight electoral boost.

Meanwhile he reignites an issue that has eluded settlement for decades and regularly leads to costly and deadly wars in a sensitive area of the globe.

Total and complete imbecile.
