I really like that this game isn't about playing until you die, it's about pushing your luck until you think you are about to die
in case you need to think about something else for a second,,, happy to : another video game ??

I picked up a copy of the board game Azul ages ago just because the tiles are so pretty. Finally got a couple people together to play it last night and it was fun! Huge relief because you gotta be careful about taking up precious space in a japanese apartment with board game boxes

lighting a cig (hand rolled American spirit) while everyone loses it over perfect tides: station to station. I take a long drag and walk over to my shelf. Plop the first print collection of Octopus Pie on the table in front of you. Drop the needle on Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest. Yeah I was there.

Reading a post on tumblr from someone who ran up against Lua's limit of 200 local variables (!!!) and decided to organize their code thusly. I'm speechless

Linux does crash and give obscure errors a lot but at least you do get to chuckle and say "you get what you pay for!"

People in Japan will be saved from heat stroke or anemia by store clerks and then still give the store 4/5 stars on Google Maps.

Everybody's wrong about the themes in Pluribus. It's actually about how easily world events can derail writing your novel

I have a theory that the only reason the show Boardwalk Empire exists is because playing Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs made everyone think Steve Buscemi is a jerk who doesn't tip so in order to rehabilitate his image in restaurants he had to forge a new identity as a jerk who tips absolutely everyone
