Hunting is also killing. Don’t get me wrong, among the various ways of killing animals for food it is probably the most ethical. But still.

I say this because I’ve always resented the particularly odious false equivalence that cars also kill people so if we ban machine guns wE sHoULd aLsO bAN cARs.

No. One is purpose built to maim and kill people and the other most certainly isn’t.

Well, the U.S. government is the greatest freakshow on the planet right now.

Would you like to be in it? If so, a position can be yours for as low as $2.5m. Hurry up while vacancies last.

I’m still very susceptible to sensory overload. But I find that clearly communicating how I’m doing with the people around me and excusing myself when I’m overloaded (or tired or whatever) works quite well for me.

So I told everyone I’m too tired to keep going, wished them a good night and told them I’d be happy to play with them again tomorrow. Younger me would have pushed on, resulting in drama and loss of self-control.

All that said, you might be suffering from something else entirely, so getting diagnosed is still the best course of action, IMHO.

That’s very friendly and I’ll be sure to forward your regards…🙄

He shouldn’t be alive by then.

That’s some flowery prose right there.

If there are fourteen of them, do they deserve to be called “standards” at all?

So now he can end his three-day operation and peace will return to Ukraine shortly. Right? Right?

Yes! Return of the Obra Dinn 100%. You can still watch other people play it on YouTube later and have a blast seeing them figure things out. And read Lucas Pope’s excellent devblog later as well.
