My wife and I have gone on 5 cruises and we are now in our mid-30s.

Pretty much everything is bad for the environment. I think less-bad alternatives are a good thing. Don’t make the (unattainable) perfect be the enemy of the good.

Since that happened, no buyer has stepped up

Hearing the opening lick of Outer Wilds is enough to send anyone who’s played Mobius Digital’s tour de force of a spaceship-crashing sim into an existential crisis.

In case anyone wants to watch trailer that this post talks about but didn’t include, here it is:

Issues like this are why I often mentally check out when I hear a game is multiplayer only. At this point it feels like that means it’ll be fun while everyone is figuring it all out, but once “pros” want to take it seriously all the fun starts to get sucked out of the game.
I’d probably get into APEX if I could play…

Believe it or not, America’s first president predicted this back in the 18th century. When George Washington left office, he wrote a farewell address to the nation in which he specifically warned about the dangers of partisanship and encouraged future leaders not to form political parties. No one fucking listened…

The internet is a hell of a place. Very online liberals spent the last decade performatively scolding everybody who liked the wrong things, so impressionable youth felt ostracized from progressive platforms. Meanwhile rightwing lunatics figured out if they pretend to be a place for outsiders, and spin the scolding as…

OK, I believe them.

Ayla strong. Ayla time traveler.
