Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s requiem. It’s an older game, GameCube era. I don’t like horror games and this one isn’t true horror. There are some good jump scares and body horror though. I had to stop after a certain scene because of the jump scares. The sanity system is really great.

I like answering with completely bullshit made up stories. Over the top, but still comprehensible. It’s obvious they’re fake, but there’s no hard proof of it.

Technology Connections - you didn’t know you were going to love learning about dishwashers and other appliances, but you are.

Not just that but really great comedic writing and delivery. I love the just right amount of sarcasm and pedantry. Not too much to be annoying, just enough to be hilarious.

• Max Miller has wonderful videos.

Tasting History really scratches my nutritional anthropology itch. (RIP Deb Duchon, as seen on Good Eats)

bread typically having a deliberately developed structural matrix with high elasticity,

Cake fits into this, I’d say.

If gluten is required, then gf bread isn’t bread. But anyone who’s eaten gf bread would call it bread. Different but still bread.

Yes. Flour, water, heat. That’s it. Tortillas are bread. Cake is bread. Crackers are bread.

I don’t watch babish because he stopped making the videos about a food in a show or movie.

I love Philly d, I like him better than traditional news channels, but watching just made me depressed.

Dairy queen nerds blizzard. You can fake it with a sonic blast but it’s not the same.

Same. Macos pronounced like tacos is so much better.

Copy of the south park episode on Mormons?

Every CEO I’ve worked for, I could do the technical part of their job. I couldn’t do the political part because I’m results and data driven. Their prideful fuckers who yell louder and demand satisfaction and wield their ability to fire you. Fuck CEO 's.

9/10 of my graduate professors couldn’t profess their way out of a paper bag. The actually good teachers were limited because they didn’t research enough. Fuck grad school.

Going to loud parties with more than 5 people. 1) loud things hurt my ears and give me a headache. 2) can’t hear the person you’re talking to anyways bc of loud. 3) why are there 50 people here? Past 5 ppl, you can’t really talk to people well and the space gets crowded.

Great for you if that’s your thing but not me.

And it dismisses the time component of self hosting. It’s not going to be zero.

Are you cherry picking the good games out of older libraries? I find people do that a lot when remembering. It’s a survivorship bias thing. The good ones get remembered more and the bad one forgotten, so they seem like the population is better.

Nowadays? I’ve never enjoyed mobile gaming. Every time I try, there’s been an absurd paywall or monetization. Once that strikes, I’m out.

Flossing is self care? I group that under “maintenance”. It’s the same level as going to the bathroom, washing your hands, etc. Self care, to me, is taking time that could be “productive” or doing something required and instead going for a walk or reading a book. It’s a positive act that’s not self damaging. Eating too much ice cream is not self care, but a bite might be.

It’s not Zelda like, but if you like factory games, Satisfactory is as close to open world as a factory game gets. You land on a planet and have to build a factory to launch things into space for corporate overlords. It’s first person, lots of climbing and building. There’s a tiny bit of combat, not the focus tho.
