So it sounds like you’re checking to see when the light turns off, to know that the car is going.

Sounds like what we actually need is a green accelerator light on the front of the car.

That’s a lot of typos for someone with perfect vision.

Games I’m currently playing:

• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

I think I like it, but I don’t love it yet. It’s undeniably well made. The story is told well, the acting, music, and graphics are all top notch. Really well done.

But the story isn’t really hooking me yet. Something about that kind of fantasy story irks me. Like, the premise seems so outlandish and arbitrary that I can’t tell if it’s actually good or if it’s just manipulative. I’ve seen so much praise for the intro, but to me it’s like: “Every year on this day, something emotional and devastating happens!” Then it happens, apropos of nothing, and everyone is like, “Oh my god this intro is so emotional and devastating.”

Just doesn’t feel organic to me.

It’s also not my type of game. I’m slightly less than neutral towards turn-based RPGs, and I’m firmly against parrying. Still, the execution is good enough that I’m going to stick it out a while longer.

• Oblivion Character Creation Screen

I just can’t seem to get past this no matter how hard I try.

• Minecraft

Getting back into my 6 year old realm. Building a big stables near a cherry grove.

• Split Fiction

I’ve been playing this with my wife, and it’s fantastic. Never boring, always clever and inventive. Just went through a whole pinball sequence that is just a master class in game design.

• Ravenswatch

One of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played. Also one of the best roguelikes. The gameplay is ridiculously tight, and the new characters are awesome. I wouldn’t personally describe it as a coop Hades, but I wouldn’t outright disagree with someone who did.

Shit, I just realized I’ve been playing a lot of games lately.

If we’re talking about the cells that were built during the Obama administration as temporary holding cells, which Trump then used to permanently hold migrant children who were separated from their guardians by his inhumane policy, then yes, there were no children being held in those cells by the end of 2024.

Ignored? Biden did try to reunite with their families the migrant children who were caged under Trump’s first term. Some couldn’t be found because of the Trump administration’s lax recordkeeping, but they didn’t just ignore them. That’s just a lie.

Yeah, I’d probably leave that up for a few years. I have trouble throwing away any of her artwork.

All babies look like actor Wallace Shawn. Any resemblance to their parents is overridden by their resemblance to Wallace Shawn and may be coincidental or imagined.

It’s pretty rare that I haven’t heard of a movie, but this is only the second time I’ve heard of this movie, and the first time was on reddit yesterday. Was that you?

Seriously? People live their lives in those houses. They sleep, cook, decorate, throw parties, watch movies, raise children. Just because the outside isn’t non-conformist enough for your personal tastes, that’s not a home?

There’s something wrong with that perspective.

… or a neighbor who does something that actually reduces resale value in the neighborhood.

I started collecting Lego again.

… and running.

In my experience it still comes apart.

I wash with soap when I shower. Do you use soap with your bidet?

Toilet paper doesn’t stick when it’s not wet. It falls apart when it is wet.

Soap. In the shower I use soap.

Medium, I guess?

This is exactly it.

I used a bidet in Europe in my thirties, and then my ass was all wet. I could dry it with toilet paper and leave bits of toilet paper in my ass hair, or I could dry it with a dedicated ass towel, which is clearly less sanitary than just wiping.

It’s wet and uncomfortable, and it’s not any better than just wiping. Running a bit of water over something doesn’t really clean it anyway.

After a shower you dry off with a towel, obviously.

Do you dry your ass with a towel after using a bidet? An ass towel? Because that’s disgusting.

How does having bits of toilet paper stuck to my ass improve the situation?

What the fuck, man.
