I’m trying to book a reservation at the resort, and the only length of time I can select is “indefinite”. That’s weird, right?

Is any other app out there able to handle streaming games to your friends as easily as discord?

It seems like we should probably be looking for the next ship to jump to…

Got it!

I think both times I wound up with Blades of Mercy and also dressed like Eileen the Crow. It just looks too cool to pass up…

BE NOT AFRAID

Same… I’ve only played through twice, years apart, and both times were basically the same Dex (Skill) build.

I loved the demo and would also highly recommend the game solely based on that.

I’m just waiting for a free weekend to pick up the game now that it’s out.

He’s one of those bosses that can stall a replay for sure…

A lot of young men are lacking role models and community these days.

More kids are growing up without fathers around now (single parenthood is up from 9% in the 1960s to about 25% today).

Most people’s source of community used to be church, but since the advent of the internet, people are rapidly moving away from organized religion. I think this has disproportionately impacted men, who tend to be less social on average.

And I think in general, a lot of young men feel like nobody cares about their personal struggles.

So, even some toxic dude like Andrew Tate can show up and say “Hey, you’re great. Here are the reasons why things are bad for you and what you should do, and here’s a community of like-minded people to interact with.” and these guys are going to dive in head first.

It’s a play on an existing meme format:

I’ve noticed this too. It feels like we’re culturally losing touch with even the relatively recent past, and I’m not sure what to think about it.

I guess it concerns me in the “those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it” kind of way.

Yeah, is satire ok here too?

I have another intentionally funny one too. Maybe I’ll drop it somewhere else just in case.

I was reading this reply from my inbox and took longer than I should’ve to realize this was about the Minecraft post.

Oh wow, in my head I pictured it starting around 2006 or so.

Community, IT Crowd, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Scrubs… The 00’s had a lot of great sitcoms. We didn’t know how good we had it.

It got so popular, had occasional Star Trek references, even a cameo by Leonard Nimoy, and I still couldn’t get myself to enjoy it. It’s such a a shame.

I haven’t played Minecraft really since the alpha, but I can’t imagine why they shouldn’t. What am I missing?
