Can I not look at the list of my recent purchases in the Etsy android app? It's kinda useless to me if I can't.

The core concept of AI agents is unappealing to me, because even if I liked AI (which I don't), I don't like the idea of someone else doing all my shopping, appointments and emails for me. I like to be present, because I'm very particular about how those things should be done.

This new Deadlock update is a doozy. All kinds of great additions. I'll admit, I'm tempted to reinstall it and muddle through it again. I struggle to be of any use to my team in any match, but I wanna give it another shot.

I do wish, for the benefit of my ADHD brain, that the Adventure Guide in Fortune's Weave reacted to my actions. It offers great direction on what to do with free time, but once you've done a task, it doesn't disappear from the list.

I've been taking a lot of screenshots (as usual) as I'm playing FE: Fortune's Weave, and I'm going to post some of them, but I'll be sure not to post anything that might spoil the plot.

I disagree with this completely.
This is a birds of a feather flock together situation. Men are not ostracized from male spaces if they respect women, they just flock together. If you find a good egg he's likely surrounded by good eggs and vice versa.

The thing about raising a son who genuinely respects women is that he will be completely ostracized from most male spaces.

I'm legitimately curious to check out this game, despite the fact that I do not actually like driving, and would give anything to sell my car and move back to a walkable city with reliable public transportation.

I'm playing FE: Fortune's Weave in the most systematic way I possibly can (finish a chapter, switch path, rinse, repeat), and I'm sure that sounds like a laborious way to play, but I'm getting a lot of out of the subtle differences in structure/mechanics between paths.

My entire strategy in every Fire Emblem game is to sit on the edge of the enemy team's threat area, wait for them to run at me, and then annihilate them. I'm very much a "ball of death" Fire Emblem player.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."

Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

There's an NPC in FE that says the voice line "gets my goat!" when you walk up to talk to her, and I thought she said "That's my GOAT!" and I was like "oh shit, this old lady loves me"

Lanterns feels like this show where I'm waiting for the episode when it all ties together, and I go "OH SHIT" I dunno if that episode is coming, but the way the series has been written so far has me anticipating it.

In FE, your evasion stat is called AVO. It took me too long to realize that AVO is "avoidance". My brain kept going "Is this a typo for EVA?" Every RPG's stats work differently, and I always need a refresher. What governs my dodge? Is it AVO? Is it EVA? Is it SPD? Is it DEX?

I've interviewed and hired people plenty of times before. I care only about the enthusiasm you show for the position and industry, your ability to learn, your experience, and your qualifications. Ppl who will disqualify you for bringing an iced coffee are looking for reasons not to hire you.

I'm not too happy with how my Famicom, SFC and N64 loose carts are stacked in my bookcase (since you can't see the labels), so I bought some tiered display stands from etsy. They'll display much better once those have been installed in the bookcase.

Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁

These are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devs

As Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that.

It's pretty rad that Fortune's Weave is both an SRPG and a turn based JRPG in one. This might end up being one of my favorite games on the year.
