French troops require wine or else they won't fight. The problem with wine is that glass bottles break and steel cans leak when hit by shrapnel and fouled the flavor. So they invented Vinogel, a 3x solid wine concentrate made with pectin that could be reconstituted or eaten.

A 25kg plastic jug of Vinogel, by virtue of being solid, even if the container broke, the substance would not leak and it was shelf stable so could be transported in ultra-light plastic.

Having done #TTRPG for a while, I've come to realize that 90% of people use #DND based on muscle memory alone and anything different than what they know is scary and confusing to them. I have only met a handful of people who will actually read the Dungeon Master's Guide and do what it says.

I'm ambiguous on #PokémonGo at the moment, but even I couldn't stay away from the yearly GoFest. I say catching seven Mewtwos; including a hundo and a shiny, is quite a good haul.

So I went to "Thy Geekdom Con" last week. It was okay. A serviceable convention time for the harder core but the programming and support is meh.

A strange combination of weeb obligation/a whimsical lark compelled me to attend Miku Expo. The energy of the crowd and the (unexpected) live band were good; but people coming in at the hour mark knocked me off the groove hard.
