sanctuary
no-one asked, but here's my suggested order for watching sanctuary:
* Season 2
* Season 3
(except for episode 15 - it's just a clipshow episode so they could save money)
* Season 4
* Season 1
Season 1 comes last because while it has some great parts, it's got a lot of jank because they hadn't hit their stride yet.
I've considered putting season 1 in between the two halves of Season 3, but I don't know if that would actually be better - it might just be confusing.
DVDs
I just remembered that I own every episode of Sanctuary on DVD *and* on Bluray.......
and I'm still the only person I know who actually watched the show!!!

hi!
it's flat lizard friday
re: worldbuilding
And so for the Wụūgụ people, I kind of feel stuck - there are so many different ways of organising societies, how do I just choose (or invent) ONE??
And any choice I make is going to have huge impacts on how the rest of things go.
re: worldbuilding
One of the things I'm struggling with is working out the economy/governance.
Here's a few real-life systems:
* the Inca empire (the empire provides food + clothing in exchange for labour; the empire does not trade with others because it just conquers them instead)
* Aboriginal (Australian) groups (in group people do tasks as per social roles; trading with other groups is gift-exchanges)
* Igbo communities (republic of village-states; with organised markets)
worldbuilding
today I've done some research into:
* The Inca Empire
* Traditional Woodblock printing in Japan
* The Igbo, Yoruba, and Javanese calendars
* Yoruba and Inca religions
and the cool thing is: I'm learning a lot!
the less-cool thing is: oh gods there are so many decisions to be made with my worldbuilding project and I have no idea which ones are the Right™ ones.
I'm snooze!
nos da~

conlangs, reddit (~)
There's lexicon-building challenge happening this month on reddit, and I think the challenge looks really well made:
https://www.reddit.com/r/conlangs/comments/v4rusx/its_junexember_again/
I don't think I'll have time to do it this month (I'm super busy for the next 1.5 weeks), but... it looks like a great challenge: multiple prompts, and rules to encourage you to do more interesting things (words with multiple meanings, homophones, deriving words from other words, etc)

Rayman 3, poll 
I'm getting back into playing Rayman 3, and I'm torn...
On the one hand, I'd love to play with the Better Rayman 3 mod, which allows widescreen resolutions and playing in a window!
On the other hand, it's not allowed in speedruns, and I love doing speedruns of Rayman 3!
Maybe I could take the opportunity to try out playing in a gamecube emulator? The Gamecube speedruns allow for the most glitches...
What do you all think?
re: Rayman 3, poll
I guess I should note for this: the glitches on PC are the ones I'm used to, so if I go for the GCN emulator route, I would have to re-learn the speedrun...
