A little bit of a lot of things. Mainly sports, wrestling, tokusatsu, and video games. I'm not as good at Magic as I'd like to be (but who is?)

This makes me want to build a like 2000s visual novel html style page that's just a "bookstore" frontend for like, AO3 or something where you can click "turn left" "examine shelf" etc and just navigate a forum like it's a physical space
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

My wife and I had a few shows that instead of binging we watched in a block like this (one ep of each in the same order as if it was on tv) and it was a ton of fun and made watching them more enjoyable I think.
Think it was MHA, Love is War, JoJo's, and Heaven's Design Team but it's been awhile

Started watching four episodes of vintage anime (Sailor Moon, Patlabor, Slayers, Gundam) every week with Discord friends and can't stress enough how watching fun stuff with online friends is a low-cost, low-effort way to help you feel better about shit. Can't recommend it enough.

I need to rewatch Heaven's Design Team, what a cute fuckin' show that was. It absolutely deserves a S2.

I agree. Civ Video Game rules apply. "I just conquered the earth as Rome, and now I'm rage-quitting the new games because a barbarian killed my scout. Maybe I should play as the Mayans, on an island map, just to reset my expectations a bit."
I believe the NFL rulebook states that "changing teams" the year after a Super Bowl win requires either the Browns or the Cardinals as your options.
Only by rooting for one of these squads can you complete the circle.

Y'all from FF7 community who never touched Nier and try to bend it to your narrative on both shipping sides should relax a little and maybe play the game instead of watching half assed YT videos. Yoko Taro games are *so* much more than just games. You have to dig deep to understand.

Filled in a few more details and added a few more games to my Big List Of Free PC Games.
Did you know that the latter two Penny Arcade RPGs are now completely free? I only found that out today!

Besides making games and ignoring how financially viable they are, I think it would be really fun to just make a multi-purpose JRPG engine in Godot and try to make it user friendly enough that anyone could use it. Include lots of progression system options (traditional, job, sphere grid, etc.).
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?
