Librarian, I like socialism, equal rights + justice, old + indie games, Grateful Dead, music, books (buying, owning, reading, smelling), and try not to hate everything else. From California but have lived in the UK since 2010. http://yaktaur.com

Maybe the Switch 2 is the last console I ever buy, maybe I'm finally aging out of videogames

I don't mean deli style or dill, I mean the ones that come in big tubs at Western style places.

I need to find out what the official name of the American style big sour pickle is and how to make it. British pickles (GHERKINS) are too sweet, Polish ones are closer but more briney than sour. I just want a big ass sour pickle

I read someone talking about how young people these days can't drink or get high (LEGALLY!!) without someone filming it and potentially ruining their lives and that hit me heavily. Poor zoomers.

I've given up on this season of Critical Role. I don't like the new GM (sorry) and all the sad face acting. Is it just me or is it slowwwwww as helllllll

Miyamoto: When pornography escalates, it eventually crosses into the grotesque. I think the world of "hidden secrets" in games has almost reached that same grotesque level. It's reached a point where it isn't measured by common sense anymore. It's just people getting bored and looking for stronger and stronger stimulation. We've hit a wall. When you're at the point where you have no choice but to go "grotesque," you have to start thinking of new ways to use the medium.

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

There should be real discussion about boycotting the US parts of the next World Cup and they should start soon. A general BDS of Trump's America wouldn't be out of line for a discussion either.

If not in the US, I must recommend starting planning getting off US tech. Doesn't have to be instant, but if you have a secondary laptop/PC, maybe install Linux and practice

The US is hostile and unpredictable, and could remotely shut down our operating systems or install anything through updates

We'll remember this post and things like it when you're telling us that if we don't vote for Dems you're voting for Repubs. It's voting for literally the same thing
