Unpleasant, but not illegible.

More nature pals. Walking hasn't been a panacea for my mental health but it clearly isn't hurting.

Didn't people like Yandere Boyfriend and Emo Kid With Sad Bird? I feel like some folks just can't enjoy a story that isn't about how the Coolest WoL flies on a Battlestar to punch god at the end of time or whatever.

I am genuinely gobsmacked that there are people who aren't digging Dawntrail. I think its the best writing outside of Shadowbringers if not the best writing in FFXIV. I love the characters, the setting, the way it resets the stakes. Did people just want a bigger, sadder antagonist?

My favorite was when they were like "You wouldn't say head of accounting John Smith" but like, yes. Yes, I would. Job title [name] is a perfectly acceptable way to refer to people in the US. If I'm writing in the US that's how I'm gonna do it.

let me put this another way: despair, or its new name, doomerism, asserts omniscience--that things cannot be better, that all possibilities of good are already foreclosed, that you can know this as fact. it looks like humility, but it's all ego. it is, in fact, the assumption of godhood.

I refuse to watch the debate. If I wanted to see a tragic fight between old men with deeply questionable policy positions I'd replay MGS4.

Throne of Blood is an obvious choice for me but I also really really like Ralph Fiennes' Coriolanus (2011) if only for his performances throughout.

Y'all this article is so good. We need more (well-reasoned) optimistic reporting and it can be especially hard to find in the world of cars, but this is absolutely worth your time to read.

Genuinely beautiful article. Thank you so much for putting that into the world. Improving EV infrastructure and renewables (among other things) has me so hopeful for the future and this is the kind of reasonable optimism I love to see.

I think a big problem is that these things are criticism more often than critique. I watched CrashCourse's analysis of Things Fall Apart and it made me want to read the book - now a favorite. Most youtube "analysis" is just a list of flaws, and that sucks.

I don't design trains but it's neat knowing how they work. The problem for me is there's a difference between loving something enough to study it and getting so deep in criticism you can only spot the problems. I like knowing how to construct a film. It makes me appreciate the good ones.

One of the few times I ran into someone objectionable (in Frontline no less) they were called Loktar Ogar, so I feel like this tracks. The community still rocks though, so I feel like most folks, even new ones, are pretty chill.

You can always queue and do weeks of fulfillment before you even load in! But joking aside I hope the heatwave treats you okay and am glad you have a ton of orders even if fulfillment sucks. Dawntrail will be waiting for you and by the time you're in it'll be playable. You're only missing the lines.

Something about Bluesky and the community here makes me much more likely to order stuff from artists than I ever was on Twitter. Vibes? Maybe. But either way, one more thing I like more about Bluesky than I did even in early Twitter.

My kid is very small but he gets that some legos are decorations and some are toys. He's been mercifully good at only playing with the toys and I've been pretty good about getting big toy sets for us to play with.

I got Steel Battalion for Christmas the year it came out. Still an all time favorite. I still have the game/controller/instructions but haven't had a working xbox in ages. Still holding out hope we ever see another game like it.

I prefer a couple of these in my back yard to smaller ones I might walk into. I'm never gonna miss one of these and bumble into it's web. And they're not hunting spiders so they prefer to move pretty slowly. They are creepy as hell if you're not used to them, though.

Ulta once had a Valentine's ad that implied men don't and can't know what would be appealing to their partners in a way I found deeply demeaning. This was like, a decade ago and I still don't especially like giving them money.

I think the big issue wasn't with better options for global shipping but rather for headlines calling it a first, as if wind hadn't previously been used to propel boats. The tech is very cool.

One must wonder if a valedictorian with pro-Israel sentiment on their social media would be censored. I have my suspicions, but I think readers can come to their own conclusions.
