I was *so* confused at this at first. I couldn't tell why the video wasn't playing.

In which CPSC helpfully demonstrates why wildfire is a bigger problem in California than Georgia.
You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?"

I have, with no exaggeration, had a friend tell me I should write out and monetize my life story as a fictional drama. Because A) they thought it would sell, and B) no one would believe it actually *all* happened to one person.
... I am highly dubious of 'A', but I wish I could deny 'B'.

In The Groove was unique to DDR at the time for having mechanics like mines that you had to avoid stepping on, as well as throwing up three to four arrows at a time, meaning you either needed clever foot placement, or had to be willing to hit arrows with your hands or knees, as seen with this one.

I'm seriously considering it.
Half my selection may not 'officially' be indie games if I do it, though. Especially some of the games that were originally indie, but got either bought or buoyed up by bigger companies.
... so if my list has a non-indie game, be kind. It was a mistake in good faith.

Just because it costs 0$ doesn't mean that no revenue is coming from it.
Leave it on the table. Walk away. The more free downloads that are taken, the more money is made from data and DLC, not to mention in-app purchases and just pain optics.
Don't say 'We want it free'. Say 'We don't want it'.

I'm not a religious man but replacing 'faithful' with 'peckish' and the assumption that 'adore' is going be replaced with 'nibble' and that the pizza has become baby Jesus is unsettling. Possibly compatible with the Eucharist though. Maybe communion wafer crust is obvious next step?

Kudos for Blizzard taking an unintended effect and, instead of removing the ability, actually altering the UI to make it *easier* for players to do instead! Seriously; I was worried about this.

So as an apology for not having the drink I asked for, KFC sent along a glass of their 'Fiesta Fizz'. Which is basically a glass of Sprite and .... a cranberry 'bath bomb'.
It tastes really nice, though if you don't like carbonation, you're going to *hate* it, since it adds extra to the drink.

It's a 'Tin Man' kind of morning for me.
Every joint I have: "OIL ME! OOOIIILLL MEEEE!"
Unfortunately I have an eye appointment, so I can't take anything that might interfere with that. Which means any painkiller stronger than Tylenol. So it's the waiting game.
