guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

I have also installed Shivers (1995) on my 10 year old laptop. Was going through various walkthroughs on the internet which were all... well, meh, til I found a superb one -- lol, it's by the company that made the game.

The Picts were always more than their blue-painted, bloodthirsty depictions. Carved in Stone, a new setting guide from @stoutstoat.co.uk and archaeologist Heather Christie, invites players to explore their incomplete but beautiful history.
Carved in Stone is both a history book and an eye-catching RPG
Publisher Brian Tyrrell and archeologist Heather Christie paint a pretty Pict-ure.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

After playing a bunch of hours of Hades II,... I dislike all the weapons (haven't unlocked the cloak so far). I hate Sprint. It's simply pressing a button or a key and too often NOTHING happens. This is a problem both with Sprint and with the special of the axe.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Your windshields should be absolutely covered in a sticky mess of bug splats/insect carcasses every time you drive across open country forcing you to stop periodically at gas stations to use their wet squeegees to try and clean up your view of the road at night
Thinking a lot about how poorly our brains recognize long term subtle changes, like climate change or biodiversity loss. We've lost something like 1 out of every 4 individual birds in the US since 1970, more for some species.
There should be at least 25% more birds around you right now.

First and probably only time in history that I'll agree with GMRS/GEMA.
They are also an exploitative corpo that willfully ruins small indie artists and are the #1 reason why small music venues in Germany have to close down.

Any adaptation of Frankenstein where Victor is older than 23 when he builds the creature is telling a different story than the one Mary Shelley told.
