Yes! Pippin LOVES going on walks. I like that he gets some exercise and mental stimulation. He loves to explore new places and cackle and squirrels and birds.
Conan is adorable!
Project Zomboid, Terraria, No Man’s Sky, Satisfactory
V Rising (boring), Phasmophobia (boring)
Next game to try is called Smalland, I’m excited
For sure! I’m about to teach a class and am using a really great free textbook from OpenStax. It was really important to me not to increase the financial burden on my students.
Horizon Zero Dawn. I went long stretches of not playing so it took me over a year to play through it. I enjoyed it a lot! Very cool story and Aloy is a great character.
ME series is my absolute favorite! Hope you have fun with ME2, it’s a blast.
Mass Effect series for me. Great story where choices matter. And the characters are just so wonderful, ending the game felt like saying goodbye to friends.
Testing it now, seems to work pretty well. Aside from search, which you said you’re working on, links don’t seem to work? It would also be nice to have somewhere to see replies to your comments/post. It would also be nice to see what instance each community comes from. Thanks for your hard work!
6:30 AM. I still cry if I have to be awake at that hour.
I love mysteries, so I’ve read a lot of like James Patterson and Janet Evanovich, and the like, starting from when I was pretty young.
Is Prey the one with the nanobots? I think I read it around middle school as well, along with Congo.
Have you read any James Rollins or Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child? Some of their stuff might be up your alley.
I have pretty severe ADHD too, and while I don’t enjoy driving like some people do, it’s not as scary as I thought and I’m not constantly getting into accidents or anything. Don’t let that be the thing that holds you back.
I’ve made it before and it’s really easy! The hardest part is kneading the dough which takes ~10 minutes. It lasts for about a week in the fridge but you can freeze it too. The simplest version is just vital wheat gluten+water but you can add all sorts of flavoring and seasonings. If you want some more complicated but amazing ones, check out Gaz Oakley (avant-garde vegan).
Apparently I am really sensitive to motion smoothing/video interpolation/“soap opera effect” that TVs do now. I’ve pointed out that people have the setting on so many times and most of them never noticed things looked weird.
Some ones I’ve had a lot of fun with recently: -Herd Mentality, where everyone tries to guess what the most popular answer to a question is -Loaded Questions, where everyone answers a question and someone has to figure out who put what answer (both of these are really great for getting to know people better) -Monikers, great for a larger group, a mix between taboo and charades. Super super fun. -Mind the Gap. Great for mixed age groups like families. It’s like trivial pursuit but you have to answer questions from different time periods.
Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It’s the third in a really awesome, incredibly well thought-out sci-fi series.
Good for them! And they only had to strike for a week. UC grad students were on strike for way longer and barely got anything.
