I'm going to be a father

My beautiful wife is 19 weeks pregnant, and we're looking forward to our first child in October.

It's pretty crazy. I mean, they just let you have kids?

Suddenly, there were mangoes everywhere.

Oblivion

I love Oblivion.

The game, not the track by Mastodon. Actually, you know what, I love them both. But I love Oblivion more.

I'm having a blast playing Oblivion again (the original, not the remaster). It's been a good 17 years since I've played it and the nostalgia couldn't be any sweeter.

There's this fantastic set of mods that help make the game feel modern and updated without taking away from how the game was intended to be enjoyed ("vanilla plus"). Did I mention that I got this running on my Steam Deck?

That's right, modernized nostalgia to go.

Projects

Currently, there's no big project consuming my spare time (unless shutting the jaws of Oblivion is a project).

Over the last few months, I've chipped away at my bank <-> budget syncing utility. Thankfully, the tool is pretty stable now and has gained traction which is heartening to see.

I think the next project for now is moving back to Canada and getting ready to be a family. I'm getting the feeling I won't have as much free time after that.
