My spouse and I recently cut down our liquid detergent from like, 2-3 lines up the cup to about half of the "1" line, and it's been a substantial improvement. it gets equally as clean and is more consistent. No weird residues, overdone cycles, simple and efficient usage of "just enough."

i've got something like 70h into Super Mega Baseball 4 b/c the full team and player customization is -really- fun w/ the more cartoony setting

also shoutouts to bryonato's Fake Baseball League (which just ended season 20, sadly, more in Jan) for getting me invested www.youtube.com/watch?v=erhD...

Hahah it certainly feels like it. Formula1 got me back in a few years back b/c it kinda felt esports-y after watching so much CS/LOL/etc and getting kinda bored with those

now the other team sports are exciting again it's weiiiiird

Yup. It's got so many layers, so many tiny sub-layers. Individual variables. Human error is baked into the rules intentionally.

I literally as a ten year old kid could rattle off every stat for the starting 9 and pitching staff for my home team. no wonder i'm a game designer now lmao

its amazing to me that occasionally gamedev bsky randomly becomes baseball bsky. i feel like i could write a thesis about why it's the perfect sport to be slightly-too-invested in as a game designer
