The first one is always the hardest, but it’s liberating to realize that you’re allowed to dislike some things you love, and the world keeps spinning.

Oh God... the Peace Museum. If the Peace Park is a somber celebration of peace and pacifism, the Peace Museum is a brutal condemnation of the horrors of nuclear war. It was super super hard not to break down and cry in public. It made me want to apologize to every Japanese person I meet for the rest of my life.

Tearing down a house because terrible people used to live there strikes me as odd. It’s not like statue, where it’s lionizing people whose actions we don’t approve of as a society.

My uncle lives in one of these huge plantation houses, and yeah, they’re beautiful. Really, really nice. Fascinating, in a way, the way all old buildings are.

Good on them. I got five friends to buy the game, including a blogger with some tens of thousands of readers. I think I have done my due diligence, and their hard work and talent have been rewarded.

Since Disco Elysium won out in all 4 of the categories it was nominated in, I suppose I can forgive it not being nominated for Game of the Year.

I’m about the biggest From fan you can find, but even I would chalk Sekiro winning up to it being a year with some pretty soft competition. Think of it as a win for all their previous games as well. I think it deserves the award, but in a stronger year it would probably lose.

I guess instead we get a system where large numbers of people don’t get a meaningful vote, because outside of a handful of swing states, elections aren’t competitive. Huge amounts of the country are already ignored, metropolitan and non-metropolitan alike. Have a look at where the 2016 candidates spent their time.

I’ve worked at bad companies that were successful, and I’ve worked at good companies that were successful. The latter show that this kind of thing is unnecessary, unprofessional, and counterproductive. And frankly, it’s professionally incompetent. When your subordinates respect you, you get happier employees and…

I see. Guess I’ve been fortunate. My work mice are Logitech and I love them. The MX revolution was my favorite mouse of all time. Started double clicking after ~6 years of use. Then finally stopped charging.

I picked this up on sale, and I was really pleasantly surprised. I’m a really harsh critic, but I found to my surprise that there was a lot to like here, and actually quite a lot of innovation on some fronts. It was a real blast to play with a friend. Maybe it sucks a lot more alone.

And that’s why I like them. :)

Damn that sucks. Madcatz um... wasn’t the best for a long time, but they revolutionized the home arcade stick when they finally released a stick that, prior to that, you could only really get by going custom. I always respected them for that, and a few other, products.

One of the wisest things I ever heard was in a move preview that I no longer remember what movie it was for.

Sometimes the possible reward is literally not living on the street. I’ve been there.

Last time I looked into it, their mice really were top of the line. I’ve had mine for like six years I think. Maybe the industry’s shifted since then.

Why is it ridiculous to care about whether the people in charge of companies treat human beings like shit?

I think you did a fine job. You can’t please everyone. And, hey, some people will hate you for no reason at all no matter who you are! :)

Sometimes you need something that is technically food, and a Subway sandwich wins out over a gas station hot dog or a cup of ramen noodles. :(
