Been playing this game I dig on the Android tablet called Dungeon Raid. It's a card flipping dungeon crawler (the dev calls it an 'adventure card roguelike') that's fairly easy to figure out-- lots of strategy and replayability. At first, you can start out playing as either a knight or a vampire, delving down, trying not to die of hunger.
If a relic in a game you can choose is a fried egg, you can probably assume it's a game for me.
There's also Linux, M…

The intro screen of Dungeon Raid, pretty simple and plain - just text

The character selection screen of Dungeon Raid, you can be a knight or vampire - vampire is chosen here

The screen at the start of the game where you choose a relic and fried egg is selected

A Dungeon Raid battle screen with monsters, weapons, meat, etc - flipped and unflipped cards

A comic by Tom Gauld: Dracula has kidnapped a maiden. She's glad to stay in his library.

4 panels:

1. Evening landscape, with a carpathian castle, mountains and a big, full moon.

Vampire: NOW THAT YOU ARE MY BRIDE, YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE THIS CASTLE!

Maiden: Wow! Your library is amazing!

2. Silhouette of vampire, woman is pulling a book from a huge bookcase.

Vampire: BEYOND THE CASTLE IS A HIGH WALL WITH NO GATE, AND BEYOND THAT IS A DEEP, DARK FOREST WITH NO PATH.

Maiden: I suppose it'…

Season five is the best season but season six has the two best episodes in Once More With Feeling followed by Tabula Rasa.
Incredible TV, all those tunes back in my head again. The pivot in the series from that episode as everyone's secrets are revealed in song.
Amazing stuff. Shame the big bad for the season is just these geeks. They are not Glory.

„Climate change and increasing urbanization are causing more and more heat, which is particularly noticeable these days. Locals and tourists are therefore looking for ways to avoid direct sunlight.
The “vampire routing” proof-of-concept, also known as “vampire mode”, solves this problem with a new type of technology. It suggests footpath routes that preferably run in the shade – just like vampires that avoid the sun at all costs.“

Kennedy’s daughter, Kick, revealed in a 2012 interview that her dad once beheaded a dead whale and tied its head to the roof of their family minivan before embarking on a five-hour drive. “Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car and it was the rankest thing on the planet,” she told Town and Country.

Experimental Results for Vampire on the Equational Theories Project
Equational Theories Project is a collaborative effort, which explores the validity of certain first-order logic implications of certain kind. The project has been completed but triggered further research. This report investigates how much can be automatically proven and disproven by the automated theorem prover Vampire. An interesting conclusion is that Vampire can prove all the considered implications that hold and also is able to refute a vast majority of those that do not hold.

Atomistic spin dynamics with quantum colored noise
The accurate prediction of temperature-dependent magnetization dynamics is a fundamental challenge in computational magnetism. While Atomistic Spin Dynamics (ASD) simulations have emerged as a powerful tool for studying magnetic phenomena, their classical nature leads to significant deviations from experimental observations, particularly at low temperatures. Here we present a comprehensive implementation of quantum-corrected ASD into the Vampire software package, based on the open-system Landau…

Fictional depiction of mild self-harm, blood.
#WritersCoffeeClub July 23: Share a description you're proud of.
I've been writing a vampire novel lately. Here's a description from the scene when the vampire character proves to the human protagonist that he's been telling the truth:
—
"It's okay, Ada," he gave me a reassuring close-mouthed smile. "Just watch."
He slashed across his wrist in a motion that made the matching scars on my left arm hum. I covered them with my right hand, as if to calm my skin that I wasn't hurting it like that anymore. That we were merely watching someone else.
The cut on Theodore's arm turned red and angry, as expected. And then, just before the wound pooled up enough to bleed, it closed. I watched time run backwards as it disappeared, the skin stitching itself together to leave no trace of the violence imposed on it by the blade.
"What?" I walked up to him as he handed his wrist to me for inspection. I ran the tips of my fingers over the spot where the cut was mere moments before - but Theodore's skin, cold as always, was smooth and unharmed.

Content warning: Buffy The Vampire Slayer

But mostly I have re-watched Buffy.
If you include Angel, and surely you must, then there's more than 250 episodes in Buffy's world and they're all great. Actual best TV show ever made. Haven't rewatched it since the naughties.
Watched about 150 episodes in the last 3 weeks. 😆
It starts well, reaches a good stride in season two and then gets entirely great around the end of S3 when Ayna turns up and creates the Bored Vampire Willow. Buffy S5 with Glory is the absolute peak. Glory is magnificent.
All the main characters are amazing all the way through, and evolve and grow instead of sticking the same as with most TV. They aren't static caricatures.
The plots story and writing is brilliant, the special effects mostly just rubber masks which age better than any CGI does.
There's vampires and slayers and witches in my dreams and I am loving it.
Nothing since has touched it.
The 16x9 cut of the first two seasons is badly framed though. Watch the 4x3 original TV frame size for sure.
