Spray-a-Brain Spray-a-Brain is a single-use item that can imbue an inanimate object with life. It can only be used on objects in the AnimatableFurniture table. The animation effect...

Losers and conservatives have been allowed to complain about "Healthy at Every Size" for too long, even though the framework is actually called "Health at Every Size" and is about fair access to health care, not a declaration of healthiness.

One thing they don't tell you about starting a combat sport in your mid thirties is: ouch

This is why I have not been able to enjoy Pokemon games as an adult.
Something is wrong with my brain where, if I know there is a way to optimize what I'm doing, I will feel bad if I'm not doing it. Which keeps me from the joy of collecting little guys.

A lot of us work pretty hard to convince our leftist friends that it is worth showing up and voting for democrats as a harm reduction strategy, and it gets harder to make those arguments when prominent democrat leaders refuse to endorse the partyโ€™s nominee for mayor of the nationโ€™s biggest city.

The Quiet Year - Buried Without Ceremony

The only game I have ever played that does a good job of simulating political struggle/organizing is The Quiet Year. If we are to get out of this moment, it will be done by actions that feel somewhat like playing the Quiet Year: buriedwithoutceremony.com/the-quiet-year

"The iPhone is pretty much complete as a product. What do we do now?"
"What if we make the operating system uglier and slower and worse?"

I mean this in the most complimentary way possible to Silksong, which appear to be an incredible game. But I have never been more sure of my decision not to purchase a game

Thereโ€™s an Andy Weir book about this

All this country has ever known is the oppressiveness of an era where few were allowed a platform to speak, or the violent chaos of the era where all are allowed a platform to speak. We cannot and should not go back to how it was, but how it is now is urgently and immediately unsustainable.

Sometimes they are referred to as dogs โ€œdragged through the gardenโ€, so that would probably be better than Sport Dog

Iโ€™ve been playing Mother 3, and this is a big problem on that game as well

The biggest Switch release I'm anticipating is Caves of Qud so I can make a blanket fort and play Caves of Qud in bed with all the lights off.
I know I could do this with a Steam Deck, but I don't have one.

What do you think the Venn Diagram is of people who enjoyed themselves in Chicago when we had NASCAR downtown and are happy about the idea of a National Guard invasion here?
It's definitely not a circle. But there is overlap, and that's a shame.

Big problem at Chipotle too. Ghost burritos

Listen, Hollow Knight is too hard for me and I bet Silksong would be too.
But I can't imagine what you would do to make an "easy mode" for those games that doesn't compromise the whole point of the game.
I'll probably just watch a lets play at some point

I have to beat Mother 3 because I want to play Super Metroid because I want to play Silk Song but wonโ€™t because Iโ€™m bad at Hollow Knight and canโ€™t finish it, and Iโ€™m hoping Super Metroid scratches the same itch, but I cant just put down Mother 3.

โ€œHow do you motivate yourself to keep up with your creative practiceโ€ is one of those crucial questions with no good answers.

I was at a panel at a con where the panelists were all professional novelists, and someone in the audience asked โ€œhow do you motivate yourself to writeโ€ and one of the panelists said โ€œif you arenโ€™t naturally motivated to write, youโ€™re not a writerโ€ and EVERYONE booed him. Audience and panelists

17 veterans take their own lives every single day.
The first Trump administration left millions earmarked for veteran suicide prevention unspent.
And yet she gets military honors? Disgusting

Taylor Swift won't be changing her name when she gets married. She will, however, be removing the man and barrel from her logo.

For least misinformed, 70s or 80s. Golden age of newspapers, strong broadcast journalism.
But then it was also an era where people were underinformed. A narrower range of perspectives was allowed to be heard.

About 15% of Americans are on SSRIs. They are not the problem. Guns are.

What's absolutely disgusting is that every other piece of software seems to be able to successfully identify suicidal ideation and direct users to the proper resources. Smartest people in the world and they can't figure out something so simple to save lives

It's that easy

7 years seems like a normal and cool amount of time to take to make a metroidvania.

I used to work down the hall from Michael Phillips. In addition to being a brilliant writer, he is an incredibly nice and generous person. sad to see him go, but I hope he finds somewhere that values him more than the corporate owners of the Trib do
