I usually say, "I'm not drinking" and let them assume that's a temporary policy rather than a permanent one.

My recommendation is the same as @zicon.no. Don't worry about the "second brain" stuff and the "supercharge your research" tutorials. If you want to try out obsidian, just take some notes, give them tags, and maybe make a home page type file with links to other files. That will be a good start.

You probably already knew this, but Martin Luther actually did go on record as making a fart joke. "I resist the devil, and often it is with a fart that I chase him away.”

I did a double take because I thought that was going to be the joke

Thank you for announcing this. I've heard so many good things about your work but never played any of your games. This was the nudge I needed to order one before it's too late.

If you're into creepy houses, I've never played it, but I've heard Anatomy is really good in more of an existential horror way. (It's also very inexpensive). kittyhorrorshow.itch.io/anatomy

I used to teach ethics as an adjunct at a few different universities, and I was often surprised by how reluctant students were to separate morals from laws.

I'm not a tea drinker but I like that earl grey as a flavor is making its way into other foods. There's a local donut place in my town that makes earl grey donuts. They're excellent.

I hope you told the person who suggested "red wolves" that you're on top of it.

I like that game a lot. The trick, you see, is to go super crazy.

They're really starting the passive-aggressive culture shaming as soon as you get off the plane.

I like how this joke is set up like the punch line is going to include smashing a watermelon, but instead smashes the thin veneer of denial over an abyss of ennui.

That a Serious Businessman™ would unrepentantly vote to destroy the country in order to protect his bottom line doesn't surprise me. But I'm infuriated by the article's author arguing that we (readers) are not allowed to criticize because "he cares about his employees".

Being an adult and realizing that I don't have time to invest in ONE single hobby that interests me is one of the most annoying things ever.

It feels right, mechanically and thematically, that you should get at least one baby bee each round, and at the start of the game. The seed, I could take it or leave it. I think even one baby bee might be fine. But you know the game better than I do, so if 2 babies and a seed seems right, I like it!
