GRIT: 16 + 2 = 18

“What’s that, Doc? A sled?” I presumably interpret.

I’ll have a look around for anything resembling tools. Failing that, I guess I could try blasting wood into shape with my Slackarms.

The second half of season 2 does get better.

Andor Finally forced myself to watch the whole thing, having only made it through two episodes when it first came out. It’s so uneven as a show, with some episodes being gripping masterpieces and other episodes being inexplicably listless. It was worth persevering with but I only enjoyed about half...

Grok is parroting legacy media. Working on it.” So while you can trick an AI into sayi...

CK sits peacefully in the darkness at the bottom of the well and will give it a few minutes for all the riotous barking and bum-sniffing to ease off.

I’ll attempt to do that.

“Got a dog comin’ up!”

"Good pup, you're alright."

If it's small enough, I'll shelter it inside my coat so it's warm and secure, then I'll try to climb back up.

I slowly approach and hold a hand out to see if it comes to me.

I light a match and then draw my Slackarms with the spare hand.
