- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 1 week ago:
People read the subject line, assuming it’s not longer than about seven words, and then the first 30%, and last 15% of your email, in my experience. You can increase this by adding line breaks and bullets. In my experience, the best responses come from a short paragraph, followed by a couple bullet points, then a couple sentences, then your salutation/signature. I try not to write anything longer than that.
- Comment on Should we boycott games with loot boxes? 1 week ago:
Maybe I’m just an old man now, but it’s been years since I was interested in a game with lootboxes. I think the last one I played was Overwatch, back when it originally came out
- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 1 week ago:
We have these in Lansing MI too! Part of the Satanic Panic back in the 80s involved kids playing D&D down in parts of the steam tunnels under MSU, which, I’m told, is much harder to do now unfortunately

I have procrastinated the switch this far, I’ll be damned if my laziness gives in now! Lol

As far as I know, that’s pretty much stuck around. I think it’s a game where you kind of need to embrace the jank

That’s the republican playbook. Do everything you can to destroy the government, and then point at the rotting corpse that’s left as evidence that government doesn’t work

- Comment on I liked Star Trek before it got woke. /s 2 months ago:
Lower Decks is my favorite Star Trek since DS9. When it came out though, I was super against it. Didn’t think Paramount had any right to be making fun of Star Trek after Discovery season 1. You can tell Lower Decks is made by people that love Star Trek though.
This last season, they did a classic audience-the-Klingon-High-Council episode, and when I saw it, I exclaimed to my fiance, “Yes! I love Klingon bureaucracy episodes!” and then later in the episode, there was almost that exact same line
Strange New Worlds has been finding their feet too. We got a courtroom episode on Augment rights, that really felt Star Trek, and they’ve had some original stories as well that I’ve really loved, like Among the Lotus Eaters. There have been a couple episodes I haven’t been a fan of, but what Star Trek hasn’t had those?
If you’re open to it, I recommend giving both shows another chance!

I read an article recently about how Yellowstone rangers are pretty good at dealing with traffic jams like this, because they happen so often in areas where there are bears

- Comment on The future of Blu-ray is looking bleak (and that's a bad thing for everyone) 3 months ago:
I fully agree with this. I’m sure the prices are so high to get people to use streaming services or online rentals like Amazon does. At $30/disk though, that’s enough that there isn’t a single piece of media I care enough about to preserve physically. The ones I care the most about are also television shows, so that’s even more expensive. I have nothing but gratitude for the people that are out here buying these disks, and saving them for the rest of us.
I mostly consider physical media to be merch when I buy it
- Comment on The future of Blu-ray is looking bleak (and that's a bad thing for everyone) 3 months ago:
I will still want all my media in my house, in a machine I own, instead of having it stored in a server somewhere.
If what they’re talking about does happen, that would just be personal preference. If you own the media, you can store it wherever you want, be it on your own machine, or on a cloud service if you desire

Forget ponds, I prefer a coastal ecosystem in the upper coastal intertidal zone between land and open saltwater or brackish water that is regularly flooded by the tides.

Every game borrows from other games’ ideas and mechanics
It’s not only games, this is just straight-up how art works. Culture develops over time. Of course capitalism had to get a middleman in there lol
