Mezmerize was such a damn good album. Popping that on for the day.

1. Come What(ever) May by Stone Sour
2. Blinded in Chains by Avenged Sevenfold

Bush-era (same as American Idiot) but shockingly still relevant. Too heavy for this list?

That was an unexpectedly titillating and insightful read.

As a dad?l, this new world terrifies me. The craziest trends that caught on for me were Pokémon cards, tamagotchi, and Uno.

At the rate we’re going, history books will be banned before we know it.

We all know real Enterprises wear kilts.

Damn! Your list made me remember that I missed Superliminal.

Which led me to Stanley’s Parable, which I hated. I maintain that I totally missed something despite a few playthroughs to “the end” but it seems to have just gone over my head.

*Break the Game is $2 during the Summer Sale. Definitely trying it.

My game time is limited so I play what I hope to be most impactful. My list is chock full of unforgettable experiences:

• Control
• RDR2
• Uncharted
• Dead Space
• God of War
• Ori and The Will of the Wisps
• Disco Elysium
• The Artful Escape
• What Remains of Edith Finch
• Gris

The first three I’d say there was life before and then life after. The rest, I wouldn’t want to miss if I had a redo in life.

Picard, my friend. I don’t know history well enough to know if MSFT was involved or not based on our colleagues comments below but I most certainly agree that the horse armor was a reckoning, and dawn of a depressingly fraught new era.

I experienced the same at “regular” beaches out in Greece. Topless women and Speedos were just as normal as any other beachgoer. It was really rather relaxing thinking back to it now.

Someday I hope to build up the courage to visit/participate a nudist beach. It seems far more comfortable and “normal” in Europe than in the States from my travels. Remarkably humanizing.

“It’s the circle of liiiife”

Pain always adds a little pizazz to the finer things in life 😉

There are 9 planets…

$108k for those! With all the workers and equipment, I wonder if they profited. What a wild treasure hunt.

There’s a burial spot somewhere for old game cartridges too, right?

That’s what keeping all that latinum in your second stomach does to you.

Good thing he got rid of all that worthless gold though. That stuff is toxic.

I would say it’s a war against knowledge and critical thinking. Those two things threaten their control and reasoning. Why else fear books or competing ideologies?

It’s one thing for the deer to see headlights coming at it. It’s another for it to know what it means and what it should do.

Is it weird that I still want to go for my PhD despite all the feedback about the process? I don’t think I’ve ever met a PhD or candidate that’s enthusiastically said “do it!”

Ngl if it weren’t for my soul crushing student loan debt, I’d do this. Not to qualify for jobs or gloat, I just love learning.

I hope to start a PhD before 40 but the finances and family life aren’t looking too promising.
