Better Off Ted ended way too soon

Torchlight and Torchlight II were great. It’s a good thing they stopped there and never made a third.

That only lasts so long. My kids do their own thing, I do my own thing, and we do things together. I love hanging out with them and enjoying our shared interests. I know someday they won’t want to/be able to spend that time together, so I take advantage while I can.

For some reason spam grosses me out but I’m ok with Vienna sausages. Pretty sure they’re the same thing just shaped differently.

Modern corpo playbook.

1. Go too far with something wildly unpopular on purpose
2. Everyone complains
3. Dial it back slightly
4. “We won!”

Built an app and it accidentally got traction with a small but appreciative user base. Now they’re distracting me from leaving it half finished and moving on to the next thing.

Bug-a-salt is the key. It’s especially satisfying when you snipe one out of the air.

Just saw Clicks launched a new phone with Niagara launcher as the default. Physical keyboard, expandable storage and a headphone jack too.

I had a massive consumption problem. Especially on hobby spending. This year I uninstalled every retail app and unsubscribed from every promotional email. No exceptions. No more notifications about limited time offers, sales, bundles, last chances, etc.

Tell yourself that if you really need it, you’ll pay full price for it. If you aren’t willing to pay full price for it, then ask yourself if you really need it. Force yourself to log into the site from your browser when you buy it rather than having it be two taps away.

I’ve also taken a more critical look at the YouTubers I follow to see which ones are spending more time talking about promoted products or the monetary value of things VS their quality and utility.

Almost every interaction on the internet is now designed to separate you from your money. Remember that and you’ll realize how much we’re being treated like lab rats.

I basically cut my spending in half, which was good because my income was lower this year. Despite that, I was able to save more.

I play so much Balatro considering I barely know what I’m doing.

Nintendo is a blight on this earth and must be abolished.

Awesome!

… we’ll never hear about this again.

Been really getting into playing drums on Clone Hero recently and it’s given me a chance to rediscover so many songs that I haven’t thought about in years.

I obsess over half of these things and my kids’ mom the other. Our kids never stood a chance.

At least in the case of my phone I had to put 11 back on to unlock the bootloader because OnePlus removed the ability to do it in their version of 12. Screw those guys.

Wow I was a day one Steam Machine, Frame and Controller buyer until this. Maybe people like me are the problem.

Straight from the playbook. Announce something terrible, then back off with something bad. Everyone calls it a win.

See: Wizards if the Coast, Unity

I prefer to put my hands on the floor and lift my feet up against the wall.

Now kith

Congrats!
