Man this scene from Heat is just such a Greek tragedy of personal choice.

I really put the "sit at a table and eat bread in a suave manner while chatting up a femme fatale" game mechanic through a real stress test. Looking forward to testing the smaller game details like, you know, spells and skills and things.
Last nights #InvisibleSun playtest with a new Arcist character (played by @ethanschoonover.com ) went well! Still have a lot of testing to do on the order’s abilities and options but it’s a good start. :)

Do you think SNAP recipients being denied food aid will still get a tax bill this year?
You bet they will.

I used to watch my daughter just drive off the track in Forza and tear around the countryside and I couldn't figure out why she found that fun but then I realized that 90% of what I do in RDR2 is literally just that.

A final fuck off to James Watson and to every news source who’s naming him as one of two co-discoverers of DNA structure without mentioning Rosalind Franklin. 🖕

Picture a shipping container (40ft/12m). I'm transmitting #hamradio waves that long from a wire on my Seattle house. They bounce off ions 50km/30mi above the earth and, in this case, down to Mexico. The remote station replies the same way.
I'm using 10 watts, less than the lightbulb in an oven.

Letting the clothesline on my roof receive #hamradio transmissions from around the country. East of the Mississippi stations bouncing off the ionosphere and back down to me very effectively right now on radio waves that are about as long as a blue whale (20m).

without a doubt the sleeper gadget hit for me this year has been this power bank with retractable cables. I 100% thought it was a silly gimmick but it has been the most used tech in the house for months. love that the cables are both always there & tucked away. love the readout on % & watts in/out.

She's absolutely right. As a producer with several films in development with female directors, I can say it is an absolute uphill battle to get execs to fund their projects. Great scripts are sitting on shelves while a generation of our most talented women sit idle.
