As if Elden Ring didn’t already use a variety of their older assets?

Awesome!

Yeah I’ve only read Solaris and Cyberiad and they’re simply incredible

I read this book years ago and I’m about to do it again! Who knew science fiction could be so fun?

Cortisol

I’ve been saying this exact same thing. Trump is a raging moron and I fear the intelligent demagogue that follows him more than I fear a second trump presidency (although a second trump term might guarantee the former)

If you ask native Americans, it is. Source: listened to stories from one

I’ve got to check these recs out

I’ve never actually seen, just the references. Guess it’s worth a go

Where have you seen this? I’ve been looking for some stories like it

Exactly. I’m not blaming Google entirely, though I do condemn them for being an example of what emerges from a system who’s only incentive is maximum profit.

Cool cool cool. The dark games list is basically all the play store recommendations

In my opinion, the probable burnout isn’t worth it. Burnout is like a heat injury, once you get it you become more susceptible to it for a time. I recommend maintaining a healthy work-freetime balance now so you know how to do it in the future.

I waited for a train for the first in years the other day and every third connex was a dark gray Amazon box with the blue smile. It felt surreal and utterly dystopian cyberpunk

Guilty as charged. I’ve played hundreds of hours of souls games and all I know about the lore is that souls are money

This is true of most games.

Cool, now do ISPs

Two years ago I became a first time homeowner. I’m moving in 6 months and am going to keep this property and rent it out. I cannot afford to buy another house almost anywhere in the US. I will be renting. However, I closed on this place with 3% interest and pay $1500/mo for the mortgage, plus about $250 for utilities. Round up to $1800/mo. Anyone buying at today’s interest and value with 20% down is looking at a mortgage of about $2300/mo, before utilities.

I absolutely resent this market, but I refuse to let this place go into the hands of anyone like Blackrock. And since I don’t care about maximizing profit, I can keep the rate on the lower end and help someone live here for a few hundred a month less than they could with a new sale. I can rent it for $1700-1800/mo to cover incidentals and repair and still let a renter live here for less than a new mortgage.

I’ve been toying with the idea of counting every dollar the renter pays against the mortgage and selling to them at the difference when (if) rates come back down.

Certainly not ideal, and a little bit apologetic, but in this situation it’s about as close as I can get to a win-win. Or least lost-least lost.

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes by Crosby, Stills, and Nash (and sometimes Young). Also, Wooden Ships, same band. Four Way Street is an outstanding album full of heavy hitters

I tried to play, but my Rockstar link to steam is locked behind an email I deleted 10 years ago. The only way to make it work is to log into the old account and change the email, but 2FA requires access to the old email. Which doesn’t exist. Even support can’t make the change without access to the non-existent email. It’s a perfect catch 22 and literally unplayable.
