Husband, Dad, architect (IT not the proper sort), photographer, gamer, cyclist, goth, blues and new romantic. Yes I'm full of contradictions, don't put me in a box. Though I like the box, it's cozy and warm.

Apparently March was Alien Synthesiser New Wave and May was my Goth Early Electronic Synthpop season.

Beeping makes the heart rate go up! Seriously underrated game I think. It's not you, it definitely starts hard. Don't worry about bailing and coming back to missions.

Welcome @f01re.bsky.social - don't know if you've read it but I very much enjoyed Lol Tolhurst's "Goth: A History" having only been a country mouse goth and hearing about things such as the Blitz Club through friends' trendy older brothers at the time.

Why 2023 was the year of the e-bike and not the self-driving car E-bikes and self-driving cars both entered the year with momentum. Only one maintained it.

β€œCompared to self-driving cars, and just about any other mobility mode, e-bikes have flourished…If 2023’s trendline continues, the humble e-bike, not the flashy self-driving car, will be poised to reconfigure American transportation.” β€” @davidzipper.bsky.social

Yea, not in the least because they were not played by boomers. Unless it means "shooters where things go boom" but that's probably too non specific.

(gen) X-shooters maybe...

Lol yes, did the entire assassins guild questline like a fantasy Sam fisher then put it down with 90% of the main line undone.
