I'm partway through Dead Man's Walk and it's held up well so far. Streets of Laredo was tough at first but by the end I found it enjoyable overall. Still, I'm not sure how much of it was McMurtry being willfully…
Did you come across the 99% invisible book club for The Power Broker? I tried keeping up but fell a bit behind by the end of the year and finished the following January. it's a great complement to the book. Caro is an…
what are your thoughts on the Book of the New Sun? I read Shadow and while I really enjoyed the vibe, I was often confused
i read it last year. its a bit slow in the beginning but by the halfway point i was reading it voraciously. I think I finished the final third in one sitting. Followed it up with the sequel and now on the first in the…
if i reflect on my own speech i'm definitely guilty of this. it's a good reminder to be more conscious about what we say. in a similar but more minor way i try to be mindful of how much i say 'just' since i have a…
Long time gamer here too and this also really got me. I'm not sure exactly what it was; perhaps a turn to a darker tone where I wasn't expecting it. For all the interpersonal disagreements the game is generally…
From what I recall there is a relationship in the game of how much blood you take from an outer being like her & how crazy (drunk?) the user then becomes, before becoming a crazed beast. There is one key item in the…
i use bandcamp whenever possible
I will give this another chance but the last time I used this on my 14 Pro Max it would get hot to the edge of discomfort
not an expert, but i vaguely recall that certain colors can make plastics weaker - maybe it was the case here for a while until technology improved
I have an Apple Watch that I get into from time to time but generally it collects dust despite how many cool functions it has. Mostly because of the battery life & lack of customization. Most of the things it tracks or…

impressive engineering that's hard to see as a net good for humanity. it doesn't spark optimism or joy about the future of engaging with the internet & content which was already at a low point. old is gold, even more so
Allegedly, Charlie Kirk's killer, Tyler Robinson, may have been a groyper.
Were you invoking Deus Ex when you said consolidation ? Because that's what I immediately thought of.
the definitely reprint cards; or release cards with slight differences in rules text but you'd be surprised how much creativity has come out of rules/play design since that time.

going public feels synonymous with a decline in user experience & i can't see this being any different
One of my biggest takeaways from the first time I saw her work was that Beleriand was actually situated to the west of Middle Earth prior to sinking. I had seen far too many erroneous maps placing it north of Middle…
He didn't even use that phrase in the typical context which makes it look like a flimsy cover to muddy what this really is. You say that to express sympathy or sorrow. Maybe he was pre-apologizing for the sheer madness…

If someone who increasingly looks like a nazi sympathizer does a nazi salute and says 'my heart goes out to you,' it's still a nazi salute. not to mention the out and out white supremacists thought that's what it was. i…
it ends up reading to me as an afterthought or half-hearted attempt to explain away the salute. a salute which was given with a grimace and a violent force, twice; it doesn't match the warmth of a message of 'my heart…
You're already misremembering what actually happened - that he says that after two vigorous salutes.
