OMG that HAT!!! You’re gorgeous!!!

There is no useful way to reckon with "People won't read news anymore, everything is doomed!" without acknowledging the extraordinary callousness toward readers—including the batshit UX—that has been completely normalized across the news web in the past 15 years. Just the shortest-term thinking.

As someone in the pnw who never experiences hurricanes, I can understand the schadenfreude. But we get bomb cyclones, wildfires, volcanoes, tsunamis, all kinds of natural disasters that it helps to be warned about in advance. Pretty nervous for wildfire season up here. 😬

South of Midnight. I know you said no fantasy, but games with Black fantasy are so exceptionally rare, especially ones so deeply dedicated to authentic depiction of US southern culture and history. The combat’s a bit cludgy, but in story mode it’s easily adventure game of the year for me.

There’s plenty of time for tightening the belt in the future. You deserve treats tonight.

I remember watching All My Children in the 90s — my mom walked past and said “that Erica… she’s such a bitch…” and I realized how significant soaps were as an intergenerational medium. She probably hadn’t watched a soap in years but we connected over it immediately. Because Erica WAS such a bitch…

Wayyyy better than celebrating with positive ones. Happy new year! Here’s to having the most boring uneventful 2025 we can get!

You didn’t need those writing tools,did you? We had to cut all the engineering work that’s not specific to gameplay features, but how hard can text really be to figure out?

Darn it, Tracy, I’d weaned myself off the insta and here you are tempting me with pics of lake como! Hope you’re having a blast!!

Boo for being sick during vacation. Hopefully you’re at least getting good relaxation in, even if it’s forced on you. Rest, play the WoW, and ignore the outside world!
