Me and 3 friends were in India and had rented a driver. It was the night before Christmas, and as we rolled into the desert town of Jaisalmer after 5h he asked what we were doing for Christmas. When we said we had no plans, he, who was muslim, insisted that we come to his so he could cook us dinner.
I would like to hear about a time someone, a stranger even, was very kind to you without any prompting, ulterior motive, or strings attached.

I can very much recommend being at Pompeii right at opening time in the off season. Absolutely magical place. Filled up after a while but even then it's an incredible giant time capsule. Felt so amazing walking the streets and being able to go in and out of houses with their layouts & walls intact.

lmao this town rocks, I'm paying €7 for one of the best Margheritas I've ever had and €3.50 for the pretty good house red, in a nice sit down restaurant in the old town center. Also I have this excellent store across from my hotel.

Decided to book a spontaneous new years solo trip to Naples, flying this morning and home on Friday, I would love some tips on food, drink and sights(outside of Pompeii and Herculaneum which are already planned of course).

I'd been waiting to get my projector and screen set up here in my apartment before getting around to watching Andor S02 and goddamn is this some incredible TV. It's so good. Just finished episode 8, they do such a great job with the empire/ISB, you have to really fuckin hate their guts.

Forest are pretty good! Looking better than Man City right now. Absolutely mad comparing Dyche's Nottingham Forest side to what Ange was putting out a few months ago. Crowd seems excited by it, I find it quite fun to watch too!

This year has been really great for games but I think actually my favorite and the one that stuck with me the most is The Drifter. Really engrossing story, fun mechanics, radiant pixel art and incredible Australian voice acting. It's definitely worth a play over the holidays! youtu.be/dAJ1LQVqWWE

Feels like a lot of the team had lost their temper after those cheap free kicks for Liverpool shutting down attacks. I don't even think we played badly the first 30, but too long to play with 10 men to get anything from this I think. Xavi came in too fast and fucked up, let's not kill him please.

I just saw When Harry Met Sally. Very good movie. Great dialogue. My take? Billy Crystal had rizz.

we haven't created nearly enough but I actually think we have been quite good in defense so far this game, and I still can't see how that is a pen, that is an absolute robbery, if that's a pen they'd blow for a pen twice per corner.

I loved watching this! Noclip is always good but these guys are especially interesting to listen to. Reminds me of some people I've run into in my life, both in game dev and regular life. Just crazy creative and motivated. Can't wait for the next part!

A girl at a party once told me I looked like Francesco Totti.
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

It's a hell of a shot by Eze but this is so obviously offside from at least two arsenal players? What the hell? The big reason Vicario sees it late and is super close but can't get his hand behind it in time?

I think we'll probably lose anyway as it's emirates away but I do think it's a solid plan to have as many of our best physical players on as we can. Defending set pieces will be huge. If we can keep them from scoring they'll get nervous. Hopefully we can kick the shit out of them too, haha.
