That Kickstarter campaign from 2017 that I mentioned yesterday, that never delivered my backer rewards, but which reached out to offer a refund after 7 years….
I sent an email to them, with a screenshot of my pledge, with add-on items. It came to US$287. Quite an amount to be out of pocket for so long.
And they came through! They refunded not only the full amount, but they even rounded it up to an even US$300. I wasn’t expecting that.
In other news I did my 6 ethics classes online today. And my back seems to be better, so when my wife got home from work I went for a 5k run in the evening before it got dark. I took it easy and did a fairly slow time, also because it was significantly warmer than it usually is when I go running.
The only other thing to report is that I’m currently watching the Hunger Games movies on Netflix. I noticed them on there and decided to watch the first one on a whim. I had a rough idea what the story was about, and the plot arc of the first movie was pretty predictable, although I did enjoy the first half where it was leading up to the actual Hunger Games contest. I found the worldbuilding and the quirks of the characters interesting. The second half was more predictable and routine. Overall I rated it decent, but not great.
But then I watched the sequel, Catching Fire. Much better movie. There were some real unexpected things in there, and I got more drawn into the story. I’ve now also watched Mockingjay Part 1, which was good too, and am about to start Mockingjay Part 2.
