tried replaying a game I enjoyed in the early 2000s. The game involved placing the avatar carefully; to position for jumping, to squeeze by traps, etc. On my old crt I could tell which exact pixel I needed to be on to succeed. On a 1040/12*infinity flatscreen, I had no mark, and died constantly.

From someone who stayed up with a bottle of wine and kdrama, and who had all of the plans to be up early to get the cleaning done so that it isn’t hanging over me for my few days of leave: I feel you. Also: uggh.

Was sat on a train once, and a few seats up a child had obviously just leaned this joke. Their mother very patiently listened to jokes about interrupting cows; chickens; dogs; cats; frogs; horses; giraffes (who apparently sound a lot like cats); and then I put my headphones in.
