Oh. No. There’s been a misunderstanding. See, I play fantasy games in order to have life suck less.

“I’m very private,” purrs famous person, signing on to another sitcom. “I have a real aversion to anyone knowing who I am,” she continues, on tv.

...fine, but only if there’s equally revealing lingerie for the Hrothgar. And tough-looking primitive armor for the bunny ladies.

A recession would somehow just be a conspiracy by the evil Democrats of Wall Street/financial reporting/what have you to undermine his presidency.

...yeah, okay. I’m calling it now:

When I was a kid, we stopped feeding the squirrels after they ripped apart yet another feeder. So they tried to chew their way into the house through the window trim in protest. You’ve been warned.

Kaitenzushi (conveyor belt sushi) at Heiroku Sushi near Meiji Jingu shrine in Tokyo (Omotesando), followed by a crepe from Angel Crepe in Harajuku, which is just a couple of streets away.

So, there’s this (now fairly prominent) sci-fi author I really like. He’s my favorite, in fact. Has been for... coming up on twenty years.

On a flight from Chicago to Tokyo about ten years ago, I noticed a toddler wander by my seat unaccompanied. Totally happy, saying hi to people, just checking things out. About a half hour later, he came by again. Twenty minutes after that, he came by again. I started to have questions. The flight crew eventually got…

Little-known deep lore: The Drifter is a huge TRON fan.

I was just surprised they called out “Taken Killer”/blocker killer as a specific role on the four man squads. “Invader Counter”/“Anti-Invader” who can back up your “Reaper” (as they’re calling it) is way more useful... especially if Invaders can now actually steal your motes.

I would love to know how many people actually play this game. My kingdom for a peek at Bethesda’s numbers...
