Just kidding. Every night, day, afternoon and what-have-you is a great time to subscribe to Unwinnable, especially when we'll start planning a Final Fantasy/politics issue at 100 new subscribers. We're over two-thirds of the way there -- let's keep going: unwinnable.com/subscribe/

Yesterday I grilled two steaks on my patio while a deer watched and honestly it felt way more idyllic than it had any right to.

I full stop backed out of a creators videos on TikTok because he said he didn’t know how to access a newspaper article if it wasn’t on the web.

Sir, your name involves the word LORE and you can’t do basic, non-web research.

Today I loaded a truck with two tables and two bungies, then realized I wasn’t comfortable with how they sat so I parked on the side of the road and climbed out over the side like a rabid raccoon.

A Facebook marketplace description for a $50 unicorn: Needs a cleaning. I got it thinking it was super cool and big but some of the grandkids are afraid of it and it won't make the bend to go upstairs. Currently sitting out on my screened in porch. Like 5 feet tall from ground to the top of its head. Would need truck or suv/van if the seats fold down. Must pick up 44505 is the zip. It does have some weight to it but I can help load

With that in mind, do you want to see the massive unicorn toy that this woman is selling because it scares her grandchildren.

I mostly found it funny that I had so many Facebook birthday messages from like β€œoh this person I met at summer camp” and β€œmy uncle who I only hear from when he’s wishing me a happy birthday on Facebook.”

No longer full time but prior to game dev I was a social media coordinator for 14 NCAA fan sites. And I sold children’s shoes.

As a developer I find this argument very silly, and have started just saying β€œI have shown my game at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art. Therefore games are art.” Which is lazy but so is the initial conversation.

Trad wife content is like β€œI yearn for a baby on the hip and a job of maintaining a cottage garden” and like nah, you yearn for a life free of the yoke of capitalism and think giving up your rights will get you there. It won’t.
