the only phone numbers I still know by memory are my wife’s cell, my parents’ long gone landline, and my friend Jim’s childhood phone number, which was the same three numbers repeated twice with a 1 at the end of it

I played a bunch of Steam Next Fest demos and came up with a list of five you definitely want to check out. We've got some long-awaited Devolver releases, a PSX flavored real time/turn based hybrid that I haven't seen anyone talk about, and a game about a psychic baby. Something for everyone, etc.

two outta three analyst guys being from the Yankees (and the third being from the Sox) is the most Fox thing ever

yeah A-Rod deserves every bit of that. I know this current team is beloved (for good reason obvs) but didn’t know if there’s anybody in the roster who fans just hate for some reason. I am interested in how that kinda thing happens.
