I just feel so bad for the kids getting sick. It’s essentially child abuse.

It’s an action RPG (like old Zelda games) with an interesting twist: as you work your way through the game you’re restoring the world and its inhabitants. I think it’s worth a try, at least.

I thought we were all paid in beans.

No problem, I recognized it instantly cause I played the hell out of that game.

Never thought I’d see Soul Blazer used for a meme.

We’re too nice, sorry.

FEZ has a great soundtrack. Also Sword & Sworcery.

No, I listen to albums.

Same here. Personally, I’m also going to buy as little from the US as I can for the next while. Same as last time.

Thanks for the reminder that I need eggs this weekend. They’re like $4 CAD a dozen here.

The future felt so bright when I was a kid in 1989.

I agree. It’s like Occam’s Razor, but with stupidity instead of simplicity: the most stupid reason is the most likely.

I think my problem, as I’ve come to understand it, is not only that I want to be well informed so much as I’m also trying to “square the circle.” I’m trying to make sense of things that are happening in the world that don’t make sense.

There are far too many, but here’s a couple:

David Ramirez and Kalu James - Dark Star (from Song Confessional) (2022): https://youtu.be/lSg9qsBgfgs

Song Confessional is a podcast that collects anonymous stories then has artists make songs for it. This is my favourite song from that.

Great Caesar - Hey Mama (2016): https://youtu.be/fCnSEsx6Cp8

I don’t even think they’re a band anymore, or at least they haven’t released anything in quite while.

Ladyhawk - New Joker (2006): https://youtu.be/4hUnygYXvfs

A rough sounding Canadian band that has disbanded, but actually had a documentary made about their second album creation process. Saw them live once and they were great.

A place with too many hospitals, I think.

They’re called potato fairies!
