So grateful to have Dragon Quest 7 in a modern-accessible format, this thing is gorgeous
Also: If you grew up on the PS1 version and find this one's too easy, you're old enough to know how to do/know how to do challenge runs

Would people understand if I dressed as an arcade cabinet, with an elaborate robe+ hat, that I was Auntie MAME?

Last week, I got a corrections request for a story I didn't write, on a publication I don't write for. It sent me down a very strange rabbit hole involving a mysterious content publisher. There's a lot I don't understand, but here's what I know:

For those that I haven't told yet, my mom passed late Sunday night.
Independent of that, I've been away from social media, and I can't tell if that will stay the same. Maybe the distraction will be good. Popping into streams that don't know yet has been a fine way to pretend it hasn't happened.

I know Reddit is a cesspool and all, but boy has it reaffirmed my choice to pursue city and state jobs exclusively. The games that people on employment subreddits have played on them would have me losing my mind.

Antitrust critics of Abundance claim homebuilding oligopolies are holding back supply and driving up prices, esp in Texas.
I did something really simple. I called up their sources.
Everyone I spoke to told me the same thing: Their claims are bullshit.

The Anti-Abundance Critique on Housing Is Dead Wrong
Antitrust critics say that homebuilding monopolies are the real culprit of America’s housing woes. I looked into some of their claims. They don’t hold up.

How do people find all these no-name financial scams? Like why am I only recently hearing about 37% interest Chime loans in the last couple years? Baby that's worse than a credit card! Where's Elizabeth Warren?!

Join us next Thursday, July 10th at 5 PM at Denny / Dexter to race Route 8! It’s easy to outwalk the L8, but can we still beat it while doing the cha-cha slide, hopscotching, or in a conga line? Join one of our race activities or bring your own creative things you can do while still beating the bus!
