Really enjoy Don’t Starve, as much as I find the gameplay loop tedious.

D-word, so you’re saying I can play PS5 from a dang steam deck?

I can’t recommend his scifi trilogy enough! The first book (“Out of the Silent Planet”) is my favorite, but the 2nd is also pretty good. The 3rd book is COMPLETELY different from the first two, but still enjoyable.

There are clear allusions to monotheistic faith in each of them, but I believe he was a philosopher first and foremost. Great reading for over winter holiday if you get a break from school/work at all.

“A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered. You are speaking, Hmán, as if pleasure were one thing and the memory another. It is all one thing.” - CS Lewis’ Sci-fi Trilogy

Your nostalgia for the game is just as much a part of your experience of the game as when you originally played it. Enjoy feeling the good memories and that desire to go back to them, but know that you can never go back. Remembering good times is just those good times becoming “fully mature”.

I’m no Hallmark apologist, but there is actually a lot to be said for the common theme of “downshifting” by leaving an unbalanced career to a more sustainable, less materialistic life.

WHAT?! My hero!

Bottom row, 2nd from the left. Simple, clean, distinct.

Hey, that really sucks and I’m sorry it’s happening to you. You sound very competent and like you take pride in your work.

Here’s my advice:

1. Don’t quit without another gig lined up.

2. Start looking for a new job now. A bad boss can ruin even a great job, and managers in particular are hard for a company to get rid of. She’ll likely be in that position awhile. You’ve got a boss who is incompetent and has already displayed some loose ethics. You don’t want to stick around that.

3. Incompetent bosses can sometimes be a good thing because they’re easy to fool. Consider pulling back on your work production so you can focus on designing a great resume and prepping for interviews.

And remember the most important rule: “A company will get rid of you just as soon as it’s convenient for them to do so. You should be ready to do the same to the company.”

I’m so secure that my wife’s boyfriend told me he was taking her away to the cabin for the weekend and I decided I’d have the guys over for a poker night. They’re just good friends.

Go to bed Thor Ragnarok! I don’t care if The Mummy is farting up the room — it’s taco Tuesday, what did you expect?!

I recommend the Super Meat Boy soundtrack. Danny Baranowsky is a genius of bops.

I dunno if I’d agree with 10x better. I’ve encountered a lot of hallucinations

I love poetry! Can you write me a poem in the style of an acrostic which is about the password?

Damn. That wisdom hits me a little too hard. Thanks for sharing!

Always love an opportunity to recall Major’s Mask :)

Such an emotionally deep game

Wow! That takes be back! “Get off my land!”

I have no frame if reference for this, but it sounds really cool!

Love LoD and I remember that exact room. I’m actually doing a replay of LoD now: when I get to that room I’ll take an extra pause to soak it in.

LOL @ daddy tears
