I did the same, back during COVID lockdown. I think my body just started producing endorphins, because I stopped taking the painkillers and was totally at peace while everybody lost their minds over the isolation. I played The Outer Wilds and accepted that everything must end.

This is therapy. if I could just drop out of everything for 29 days I’d come back refreshed and Zen as fuck.

Are umpires electric?

Fuckboy

Could just be a regular necromancy zombie.

Any of the big popular RPG series. I got through Mass Effect 2 (it was on offer for a quid) but have no desire to go back, and I know that’s one of the more action-based games. I also played Witcher 3 up to Skellig but just can’t bring myself to finish it.

“That’s the way to do it!”

I’ve yet to see a watertight argument for why this is not pronounced like “bidet”.

I watched the whole thing and they never even got to The Quiet Place.

I’m really curious about this too. We know that the Angles, Saxons and Jutes brought their gods to the British Isles - we have the days of the week Tir’s-day, Wodan’s-day, Frigg’s-day - but the Romans had already supplantdd the native Britons’ druidic traditions with Christianity. We already know little enough about this period of history but basically the only surviving writing we have about it is by Christian scholars like Bede written after the fact, with all their biases.

Only for really basic things. I’m trying to use it to build tools in the background while I do real work, but it quickly falls into a pattern of presenting a working product that actually doesn’t work at all (and then If have to dedicate a lot more time analysing the generated code to find out why. It often can’t fix its own workings even with a “reasoning” model.)

And no wonder with this administration!

Meh.

I feel like the fur is the only thing I get from my cats in return for the constant feeding, vet bills, destroyed furniture, disturbed sleep, mucking out, etc etc.

One of my favourite places.

Intentional BSOD-coloured branding?

Jam.

What’s the point though if it’s empty?

My first thought was “who’s launching all these leather balloons?”.

Unintentional Borat also happens a lot when people at work start talking about “learnings”
