Aye. Granted, I’m on Dynamis so my experience is going to be wildly different from, eg. Aether, but I’ve only had one occasion of long queues, and that was when Aether died. And even then, it was steady progress, unlike the Login Roulette of Endwalker.

I’ve been playing Heart of the Machine, and really enjoying it. It’s a fascinating 4x ish in a future city, in a bit of an inversion of AI Wars (same developer). Before playing, I was merely intrigued, but now I’m excitedly awaiting where it goes. It was, however, initially difficult to figure out what to do. Perhaps more UX is going to be useful here.

This song was the absolute bomb to play on drums in Rock Band. I really loved the snare / bass drum flow with the hats.

You get a tactical nuke, you get one, you get one… tactical nukes for all!

I’ve been really enjoying it, even in its limited state. Jetpacks are a total game changer, and I love that the fuel lasts a long time. There’s still a few obvious QoL additions needed, especially with stuff like the cargo ships (gotta type the name in?!), but otherwise it’s got a really strong foundation. Also, elevators are amazing; just realized last night that one cam connect wire to the cab. Really excited to see how the game develops in the future (traaaaaains).

The Italian game just oozed style. Really fascinating imagery.

There was an episode of PBS Space Time on the holographic principle in general recently, and I believe they’ve also discussed the black hole thing as well.

That prick Richard Woolsey had a great character arc though!

I’d imagine zoning would restrict this scenario in many cases.

I usually play clerics (busted good), but for my current campaign I’m playing a human fighter, and it’s a ton of fun. “What’s your character do?” “Charges into the fray, naturally”

Rather fun to play a character that’s a foil for my typically conservative & trepidatious teammates.

I’m on the last continent for Unicorn Overlord right now, and the gameplay is real fun to try and optimize. The story’s dirt simple, but I’m fine with the occasional simple narrative game. I should have probably chosen a more difficult setting though - normal’s not really presented a real challenge yet.

Also, watching Francis John play Subnautica blind made me do another playthrough of that game. Now I’ve got bases setup all over the place.

This should be the Florida motto.

The Apollo Beach manatee viewing center is actually pretty great, TBH. I’ve seen sharks, sting rays & a myriad of other aquatic life, while just chilling on the pier. Not to mention the many dozens of adorable floating potato-cows. I’d recommend checking it out if one’s in the area during the cooler season.

We’re definitely not. Please send help.

This is -exactly- what I thought of, seeing this picture. As a side note, there’s a family of Roseate Spoonbills that live near me, and everytime I pass them, I think “This is a good bird to know.” They’re really quite pretty.

I absolutely love the writing that Frost puts out in the Cold Take series. They’re always filled with turns of phrases that make me think: “that’s actually a hell of an interesting way of thinking about that.”

Boy, that escalated quickly.

Man, I played the bejeezus out of this game back in the day. I should probably set how Sins 2 is coming along.

An absolute classic that I watch every single time. Kamelåså!

I have “don’t drill a hole in your head” as a morning mantra.
