New post on Book of Jen!

This one is a book review of "The Blood Within The Stone" by T.R. Thompson. It is the first book in The Wraith Cycle.

Those who like fantasy with a mix of horror will enjoy this book. It includes the use of magic in ways I have never read in any book before this one. A mix of the old ways, with a chance of danger of losing one's self into something darker.

It focuses on Wilt, who has the ability to get into people's heads and read their thoughts. He doesn't know how he learned that.

The story quickly gets darker, leaving Wilt to make fast choices about what kind of magic to use. Will he keep control? Or lose himself to it?

In this one, my Diablo III Barbarian completed the Lower and Upper Realms of Infernal Fate.

I think it might be new content.

New episode of Shattered Soulstone is up! Episode 325 is titled: "Half and Half". I spend the first half of the show talking about yet another Activision Blizzard lawsuit. The second half is about Diablo III and Diablo II: Resurrected.

In this one, my Barbarian went through the Lower Realm of Cursed Fate, and the Upper Realm of Cursed Fate. I think those are new areas.

I wrote an article on Medium titled: "The Republican Recall in California Failed!"

Governor Gavin Newsom earned 63.9% of the vote (compared to Larry Elder's 36.1%). My best guess is that this outcome was obvious within a half hour after the polls closed. I think this had something to do with people turning in their completed vote-by-mail ballots right away.

Newsom continues to be Governor of California.

In this one, my Barbarian killed Diablo and Siegebreaker. It took longer than expected. I think the fight dynamics have been updated - which made things a lot more fun!

I posted an article on Medium titled: "Larry Elder is Unqualified". In it, I provide a comparison of Governor Gavin Newsom's political background.... and Larry Elder's lack of political background.

If you are a registered voter in California, please vote NO on the recall. Doing so will help us keep Governor Gavin Newsom.

New episode of Shattered Soulstone is up! Episode 324 is titled "Mixed Bag".

In it, I talk about my week in gaming, and provide a whole lot of info about Diablo II: Resurrected. Method is going to do a Race to World First when Diablo II: Resurrected launches.

There's also some info about what's happening at Activision Blizzard and Ubisoft.

In this one, my Barbarian ran through parts of Act III, chased a lot of goblins, and hit level 60.

Still got a long way to go.

I wrote an article on Medium titled: "U.S. Attorney General Sued Texas Over SB 8".

The state is being sued over their unconstitutional abortion law that deputizes randos to lie about and tattle on their neighbors who may have helped someone seek an abortion. If the rando wins a lawsuit, they get $10,000 (or more) from the plaintiff.

The current U.S. Attorney General is Merrick Garland. You may remember him from when Obama nominated Garland for the Supreme Court and the nasty Republicans refused a hearing.

And now... Garland has filed a lawsuit and will likely end that law.

Karma.

Texas decided to fuck around - and now they are finding out.

I posted an article on Medium titled: "People are Fighting Against The Texas Abortion Law".

It includes a wide variety of ways people are pushing against the Texas six-week abortion ban AND the "bounty-hunter" part that allows private citizens to tattle on people who they suspect helped someone to obtain an abortion.

I posted an article on Medium titled: "Everything You Need to Know about the Texas Abortion Law"

The conservatives on the Supreme Court dropped the ball and allowed this terrible and misleading law to go into effect.

It made me angry, so I wrote about it.

New episode of Shattered Soulstone is up! Episode 323 is called: "September Diablo".

I talked about investors trying to fix Activision Blizzard. I also included a lot of Diablo stuff, mainly focusing on Diablo III. Also, Diablo is coming to Hearthstone... for some reason?

In this one, my Barbarian leveled up a bit more by clearing out the Desolate Sands area in Diablo III. It had three "dungeons" to explore!
