My favorite argument said, "If you could go back in time and reach King Solomon about biology and genetics so he knew whales were mammals, he would ask, 'Should they be handled by the Department of Oxen or the Department of Fishes?'"

Nostalgia is responsible for a lot of meh-quality games being remembered more fondly than they deserve. Like FF7. It was the first 3D FF, and hit at a formative time for many, but the plot and writing are really poor.

Now give us the recycling rates and environmental impacts for the gold, gallium, silicon, and rate earth metals in EVs.

The "get out of your own way" comment is how I felt about season 1. Episode 1 was intriguing, and then it messed around doing nothing and didn't pick up until ep 6 or so.

Ikenfell for an RPG and Coral Island and Rune Factory for farming. And Noita. It's not technically LGBT, but there's a lot of transmutation and it's just really good. Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is supposed to be queer (tarot-based visual novel-esque).

I read the first three, and then the next, and stopped. I'm not interested in finishing them. He changed editors, and other people, between this and the next and it shows.

Past me went through RPG World, Adventurers, Misfile, and Dresden Codak. I don't know that I'd recommend them other than Adventurers, though.

Not enough people mentioning El Goonish Shive, which has been going on since the early 2000's and is one of THE queerest, transest webcomics out there.
I also read Girl Genius, Gunnerkrigg Court, XKCD, Oglaf, Order of the Stick.

Updates are particularly annoying because they restart the computer without my permission. I don't want the computer, or any company, forcing my computer to do something without permission. And the auto restart always kills all my work stuff I had left open.

My plan is to forgive all mortgages, fix rent at $1/sq.ft, fix house prices at $100/sq.ft. (+- 10% on those numbers), institute a tax based on number of properties squared, reclassify landlords as maintenance, and form a program for them to give property to tenants to avoid the tax.

A long time ago on Tumblr I saw a story prompt: the afterlife is a DMV waiting room where you wait for the last time your name is said aloud. Ever since I've imagined Ea-Nasir as the longest resident, reformed, and welcoming new arrivals.
