It's interesting to think of hobbies as chained things. Want to make games? Then take up programing, 3d modeling, and sound design. 3d printing, sure, after you do some more 3d modeling, work on sanding, bonding, and painting skills; but you know what you really want to do is casting and forging.

Discussing a ghost pirate ship with my 5 year old.
Is the ship a ghost?
Yes?
The ship can be a ghost?
Yes, because it was destroyed. the pirates on it are also ghosts.
What about the trees they used to make the ship, do they have ghosts?
???
Now let's talk about the Ship of Theseus.

I'm craving a game like Clive Barker Undying and unfortunately I don't think there's anything else out there that fits that niche. In my mental Venn Diagram I can't think of a lot of games that hit the cosmic horror/medium paced fps sweet spot

Donut County was Kes' favorite game played through @gamepass.xbox.com who apparently stopped announcing when games are leaving. Now I have to explain the ephemeral nature of streaming content to a 5 year old #funtimes

Kes and I have paused Warcraft lore and have switched over to 40k, which is fun to sanitize for a 5 year old. Yesterday he learned of the fall of the Eldar and birth of Slanesh, god of greed & excitement. He wanted to see a picture and I told him no his mortal mind just couldn't comprehend her form

I have absolutely fallen down a Warhammer 40k lore hole. I don't even play the game but I picked up Tacticus just a scratch that itch.

Seattle's new waterfront park, where you can ride your bike to it, but there's no where to lock it up. Also, it's been kindly built out of solar oven parts and tall drops for kids. Parents, feel a sense of nostalgia when you see your kids play on super dangerous looking play equipment

I've been playing a lot more Pokémon go and in doing so I'm being introduced to so many new Pokémon I've not seen before... Like the Goth Lolita Pokémon which I find even more confusing than Mr. Mime or Jynx

Feels odd being the first parent to a Pre-K graduation. I'm just sitting in the middle of a grass field, at a school, alone.

It's weird how the algorithms notice that I'm in to crafts, parenting, and gardening but all the things they show me about crafts, parenting, and gardening are not the corners of these interests I care about.

I spent some time playing Crime Scene Cleaner and I can't remember another game where I walked away thinking "Why did I play that?" Carrying bodies at the insistence of disembodied voices of criminal stereotype people to save your sick game child isn't fun and just gets more depressing as it goes

It's weird that some restaurants just assume that kids don't drink. Like, as you're seated, they bring 2 plastic cups for the adults and then hand the kids a smaller plastic cup full of crayons
