Victoria 3 Modlist 1.9.4 26 June 2025

Leave a reply

1.9.5 is going to release soon, but I wanted to update my list to cover some mods that were problematic or needed to be added to correct problems. I changed out the topbar mod, added a compatch for PEC+MR, and made a new mod, “Soul Train” to add more transportation to my games.

Thoughts on the Movements of Spheres

Leave a reply

Within the atomic particles, the quarks dance
Spinning, whirling, full of power and potential
Then the electrons fizz fuzz and cloud around nuclei
Freely going where they may go
With the flow
Of the current
Creating molecules as they go
Some molecules watch the others twist and form into longer chains
Chains that bind forces heretofore yet unseen
Forces of life
Twisting, bending, now working with each other
Building first that which self-replicates
Then that which self-replicates with changes
Then that which self-replicates with changes, incorporating other life from other things
Cell creatures
Then cell creatures with a guiding nuclear center
Then cells that bind with other cells
In symbiotic harmony
Developing into mutual needs – dedicating services towards one goal of life
Taller life
Aware life
Thinking life
Minds that reach out and question about the world about them
The planet only part of that world
And discovering that the planet wanders
The stars guide the planetary path
And, in turn, the stars guide the paths of other stars
Flowing in grand arcs about galactic centers
Galaxies themselves bending space around them with their gravities
Pushing here, capturing there
Colliding and combining even in the deep voids
Making filaments of galaxies
Superclusters of galaxies
Massive units of universal construction, they dance
Spinning, whirling, full of power and potential
Were it otherwise, I would have told you so

A Difficult Conversation

Leave a reply

A difficult conversation…
The rich man lied to you
He made stuff up
Chanted it
Now you think it is real
It is just a fever dream
He becomes richer
Because of hatreds
He created to exploit
A sorcerer, twisting minds
Promising wealth untold
If you let him bite your neck
And you let him bite, felt your life drain
And believed when he blamed
Someone else
For your weakness and poverty
Chanting on the spell
The fever dream
Your soul being transferred to a vault
Through a series of transactions
Your signature
Authorized the fine print
But I want to love, I want to heal.
I want to reverse that flow
Reclaim and restore
And so, the difficult conversation…
He doesn’t really love you
He’s cheating on you
The betrayal will crush your soul,
But it’s preferable to losing it entirely
The master you serve
Fights the master you should serve
The difficult conversation…

Time and Love

Leave a reply

Time is grim and flinty, as always
The happiness I have
Is in the kindness
Of those who scale the face of time
Giving, caring, helping
That is light and warmth
Desperately needed on the windy ledges
Some hurry on to a goal
Time will destroy that
Seek the treasure time cannot crush
Love

Ten Years On…

Leave a reply

It’s been 10 years since I left teaching and came back to IT. While I still miss working with kids, in no way at all do I miss dealing with mismanagement and panic-level attentions to testing. And while I don’t have vacation like I used to, I do get to work from home. In a word, I’m happy.

I’m always thankful for the lives I’ve had connect with mine. Those are riches beyond measure. But I’m also thankful for the ability to walk away from a situation that was heading into the weeds, reboot myself, and head towards something that was so much better for me. I’ve had employer changes in the last 10 years, but I’ve stayed much longer at each employer than I did in my first run in IT. When I was doing this from 1995-2002, I had 5 employers in those 7 years, with varying levels of happiness and security with each. This time around, I’ve had 3 employers and am very happy where I am, and security in my role is something I have control over to a great extent.

What does the future hold for me? Probably more IT. 🙂

Cat O’Clock

Leave a reply

Wake up, it’s cat o’clock
The worried, hurried wee beastie finds calm comfort in the crook of the cave
Under your sheet
The purr under the whirr of the fan tells you the predictability of the cat’s next move
Has increased a hundred-fold
As it unsurprisingly curls up inside the cavity made by your own curl

And then, at ten past cat, it’s time to get moving again
Until you make the mistake of sitting up to see human time and offer up a lap,
a trap
For that is now where the wee lion sits triumphantly for eternity
And you, the conquered lap, dare not move or even shift position,
Save to lift up the cover where there’s a bit of sick,
a hairball
to come out in the wash
to be done
in the day ahead,
around two hundred past cat
when it deigns give thee freedom again
as it seeks its prey
in the food dish
you’re about to fill
on reduced sleep
because you awoke
at cat o’clock
to offer a place
quiet and calm
beneath the sheets
so the wee beastie wouldn’t climb up the headboard
to inflict DEATH FROM ABOVE
in an unwelcome shower of fur and claw
right
on
your
HEAD

No, it’s better this way –
Waking up early to share a tame time with a tiny tiger,
The slight purr my ample compensation as the clock reaches cat-thirty

The sun finally rises –
The cat shifts a bit
Yawns at the upstart star
Then does a bit of backside licking,
Jealous of all the millennia we’ve wasted on worshipping some dumb old sun when
CATS are
right
here
now
and are desirous of the supplications we offer in the form of steady laps
and tunafish

The trick is to never completely want the cat to stay there,
Because in that precise moment,
A scratch afflicts the thighs where lithe legs leapt away,
cat o’clock over and done ’till another day –
Or whenever you sit down to do some work

Cat o’clock is forever and never, foolish human!
Why tell time by the dumb old sun, it’s boring!
Yawn in rebellion and lick your feet in freedom!
And then put some food in the dish, that the indoor hunt may begin and end

But for now, it’s cat-forty-five and I’m mostly happy with my lot,
With the purrer perched atop my pelvis…
I’ve got things to do,
so
of course,
I won’t be able to do them until I don’t want to do them
and cat o’clock yields to another hour my boss recognizes

Another yawn assures me I’m doing the right thing

I fall in love all over again

And then suddenly, it’s the miaow of doom
And I have to do something about that empty food bowl, chop chop!
