  The Last of Us II. I went in expecting the same act structure as the first and was surprised. If you’ve played it then you know what I’m talking about. Despite mainly taking place over just a few days it really feels so drawn out and a relentless struggle, which felt so perfect for the world of the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans didn't invent agriculture⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure this is exactly correct. I read the Kurzgesagt book Immune recently and it was a fascinating view into how our bodies are really the result of ancient warfare, with constant oneupmanship between us and the environment.

  Laser tag is actually the best option.

  I had a lot of fun with Aces & Adventures too, which similarly is based around poker hands but is very different to Balatro.

  To be fair nor do most email providers! It’s in the spec, though.

  Here’s two: you can have multiple @s forming relays in an email address, and you can also break all the rules around dots and spaces if you put quotes around the local part, eg “.sarah…”@emails.com

  It’s ambiguous, but the 👸 emoji solidifies it as a positive comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not exactly at the same level, but a short story related to this topic that I love is Understand by Ted Chiang.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  100%, the comments have been infuriating to read. This is the obvious interpretation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people say that "return to office" is about raising commercial real estate prices?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I understand it, there are political interests too. Not just the obvious, ie a city council wanting to see economic movement within the city. Any regular person with a pension likely has money tied up in real estate. Ensuring those pensions maintain value is a concern for governments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with you, but you may be missing the point - this recommendation is sponsored, so likely it wouldn’t have been recommended unless the artist paid.
