Y'know, I'd been considering grabbing this game right up until someone compared it to Outer Wilds. I really did not get on with the repetitive parts of that game. Bored me too much, made me too motion sick, and at some point I just gave up trying to be interested in it. So I dunno, maybe I'll pass.

I'm really feeling that John Greene vibe, "It has been January for months in both directions." Also, the "this has been one hell of a week / Dude, it's Tuesday" thing. 😩

“With one of the largest tuberculosis (TB) outbreaks in US history, Kansas has more to worry about than its Super Bowl defeat.” Sit up and take note. TB kills more people globally than any other infectious disease - the world’s longest enduring pandemic. theconversation.com/...

When United Fruit Company workers were bulldozing the Costa Rican jungle, they began finding these enigmatic spherical stones ("petrospheres") made of 'gabbro', a basaltic stone. Thinking they might contain treasure, workers tried drilling or blowing them up. Let's talk about the 'Diquís Spheres'.

I remember when The Onion used to just be parody; but now it feels like either prophesy or simply saying the unspoken part.

I need to follow this game, because it sounds like something I would really get a kick out of!

This is, I guess, as good a time as any to let friends here know I was laid off this week and that I'm looking for work. I have 15+ combined years in games marketing, narrative, writing, & bizdev. So, hey, if you know anybody hiring, my DMs are open.

The man who sicced the black-shirted thugs on this woman is Sheriff Bob Norris. The man jeering, "Look at this little girl over here...We've got to be a little aggressive with some of these folks here... Your voice is meaningless right now...I can talk over all of you" is "voice actor" Ed Bejarana.
