Remember when EA showed off a game called Session at E3 a few years ago, and it looked like the spiritual successor to Skate? And then never mentioned it again?

Ooh, yes, recommendations please! I live in the US, but don’t mind shipping stuff in as long as the shipping’s not crazy high.

I’ve tried bags, so that may be it. The other tea I’ve tried, living in the South, is the standard restaurant style Sweet (and unsweet) Tea, and I think those are just vile.

I have tried desperately to like tea because I need to wean myself off of soda, but every tea I’ve tried has just been gross. :(

“Paranoid Agent, though... Satoshi Kon is just an outright auteur. He’s definitely a great way into anime, at least if you admire cinema at large.”

Been on a puzzle game kick recently that will carry me through the weekend. “She Remembers Caterpillars” for the slam-head-against-wall puzzles, “Hexcells Infinite” for the more relaxing puzzles. Also probably Overwatch for the event, and Division 2 with the missus. Still working our way through the campaign.

‘Positive thinking’ is one of the biggest struggles I’ve had when managing my mental health. My default reaction to any setback in life (no matter how small) is to instantly assume I’m an enormous pile of stupid garbage that sucks all the time. Various counselors have tried to help me either view the setback in a

Some excellent picks in here. Final Fantasy VI stands out to me for being a real god damn ending, something like 20 minutes long in total, giving everyone a chance to gracefully take a bow while the amazing soundtrack goes through its greatest hits.

I am extremely freaked about the states reopening soon. I live with two immuno-compromised family members, so I don’t care how much my state reopens. I’m going to act as if we’re still in crisis mode until I can get a vaccine.

I was thinking the same thing. Start updating the ol’ resume, keeping an eye out for jobs, seeing what fair salary you can ask for given your experience, etc. Slowly start moving one foot towards the door.

I hadn’t! I can talk it over with the missus. I know she’s got different sleep issues from me (apnea, needs one of those fancy masks), but we should be able to find something that works for both us. 

These days we don’t do much food sharing, but I’m reminded of growing up as a kid around Christmas time. My mom would make enough sour cream pound cakes to feed the entire neighborhood, and we went door to door delivering them. Not really sure where the tradition started, and it’s since ended since she passed away a

“Look, I love snarky humor as much as the next guy, but we all need to come to grips with the fact that the Republican party needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt. Right wing media needs to be completely demolished, and quite honestly, there are a few of their backers that need to be guillotined.” 

Two trips to the Thrallway in the Whisper mission was enough to get 1000 Shotgun kills for me. About 25 minutes total.

My wife and I were talking about this yesterday. Not a whole lot about my routine has changed, since I work from home anyway and I’ve never been a super social person. But the context of everything in my life has changed. Staying home because I’m a homebody is now “staying home to not die.” Driving to CVS to get my

This asshole who doesn’t understand how beds work is Maya. I tried introducing her to a top-entry litterbox today. I now have a 3 inch gash on my hand.

I am unfortunately pretty sensitive to the heat, and I live in Tennessee, so it’s really a bad combination. I do try and get out and about when I can, but any exercise for me is going to be strictly indoors in an air conditioned room. :P

I’m actually surprised at how much I’m playing my Switch Lite right now. I bought it solely to be an Animal Crossing machine, and it’s been 100% worth it for that, but I found myself browsing the store and grabbing games I already own just to enjoy them on the handheld (Hollow Knight), and trying out new games I

Avoiding spoilers the best I can. I’m waiting for the inevitable PC release. I don’t have anything against consoles, but I just find it hard to game that way anymore. On a couch, several feet from the TV, tethered to it... Used to be fine, but ever since I got a gaming PC, I’m too used to this setup.

Oooof, Bring the Noise will be missed.
