It's Before Midnight...

Blaugust, slife of life, oxygen not included

...somewhere...

Here, though, it's 12:45. Don't tell the blog-every-day police!! Which there definitely are, unlike the knitting police, gardening police, or any other hobby nay-sayer-enforcement.

Right. I could've done something useful with my evening... Instead, I staked my gladioluses (gladioli?), went out and had a beer and chicken tenders for dinner with my husband, and then curled up to play Oxygen Not Included for the evening. I hit 100 cycles, got ahold of crude oil, am only ALMOST about to roast my dupes, and am definitely going to destroy the asteroid about to hit me, before it does!!

I did have to pause to laugh at this, though.

a tight screenshot of a 2 tall x 12 wide small box filled with water, except the last column of 2 blocks is somehow resisting being filled with water, presenting a vertical wall of liquid held back by nothing. — The water physics for ONI are slightly odd... in a contest between a dense gas sinking, and a denser liquid flowing, if the gas can't go anywhere else, the liquid can't flow in. Thus, 2 squares of carbon dioxide are holding up all that water!

I officially broke 500 hours in this game, tonight. I don't really know what to think about that.
