Might actually play this game while I eternally wait for the release of TWAU2
Dispatch's success is well-deserved. Speaking personally, I'm happy that there's still a market and an appetite for Telltale-style games.

Hopefully this means that Season 2 will get greenlit! www.ign.com/articles/dis...

Each time I add an observation to my iNaturalist page, I feel like a little Sir David Attenborough.

Every so often, one gets a glimpse of the depths of other fields and one can't help but wonder how different the world would be if some of these knowledge were known by the vast majority of people.

The sky is often so clear at night in the village that meteors are often visible. Great for skywatching.

One of the joys of travelling by road is getting to see all the varying topography and dense vegetation between states.

Came across a folk song that reminded me of church hymns (couldn't remember which hymn in particular) and now I wonder how many church hymns are remixes of folk songs.

Sometimes you come across someone's work and it looks so alien. Fascinatingly alien.

Completed Last of us Part I yesterday and it was an amazing game. Great atmosphere, great mechanics, great story, though enemy diversity was a bit lacking. Can't wait to play Part II

Some conspiratorial thinking seem to be an offshoot of both paranoia and Dunning-Kruger. A little bit of knowledge sprinkled with mistrust for public institutions.

It's also a little funny how individuals who think Mainstream media has bias don't realize the new media they follow also has bias.

In this economy is pretty much the first book I've read that has references to tweets. Feels odd even though it shouldn't.

Still kinda bummed out that Westworld was cancelled. Would have loved to see the whole thing come together nicely in the end.

At that point in my language learning journey where the desirable difficulty is no longer desirable.

It's kinda cool when an LLM recommends you a book from an author you already know.

And tags it "a must read"

What would happen if we just don't consume or only consume what is necessary? There is no need to buy that new trendy bag, or that new fancy cardigan. There's no need to go to the new fancy shopping mall that sells things for twice the price of the guy down the alley.
