EFT single player is a hoot. Ive played the shit out of it.

You dont appreciate how stupid you were until you are older. Then you realize you were stupid when you were younger, and are stupid now, but over different things. If this isnt a persons experience in life, they are almost certainly a Republican. (Joke... Mostly)

This is because with a lot of things in life, you have to actually experience them to figure out if and how you could have handled it better. You dont regret everything you do, but the things you eff up, stick with you...

Former stupid kid, current stupid middle ager.

This is not a breakup song, but about many things i think. However the allusions to loneliness (or maybe solitude/isolation rather than loneliness) have me slot it partially in the breakup category... "Reckoner" by Radiohead.

I am pretty old, and i feel like the news cycle when i was a very young kid (this was during the iran hostage crisis in the early 80s) always pronounced it "eye ran". I feel like that continued through the iran contra scandal, but by then some were pronouncing it "ee-ron".

I try to get it right now, but its hard to erase that old programming. I also think anyone who "roasted the shit out of you" for it is a doucher. I think giving someone passive shit for that faux pas would be acceptable, but roasting the shit out of someone? Cmon... I don't feel like it's that big of a deal.

When in public:

Push door open (usually with elbow) Do business Extract paper towel, but do not grab them... Wash hands Get paper towel that has been dangling and begin to dry hands Use paper towel to get more paper towels (not touching the paper towel dispenser mechanism with skin, using the used ppr towel) Use new paper towel to secure the soiled one, and complete doing my hands, and turn off the water... Use paper towel once more to open the door out of the bathroom

There is literally a new cape fear movie coming out, with Javier Bardem as Max.

It seems to me that Turtle Wow was a great idea... BUT their decision to start advertising their presence across MULTIPLE platforms indicates to me that they were trying to cash in, by existing their donation base, before the inevitable end. I can't accept that they are as culpable in their closure as Blizzard was. They could have kept their heads down and did their thing, but announcing an unreal release, and having an ad campaign... Huh? They did nothing but expedite their end. So while they may have been better then Blizzard (not a hard thing to do) it feels empty to trumpet them like they saviors. Imo, they took advantage of their players.

No, ive always thought this was a strangely tribal concept, and dl judge people who make their car that much of a part of their identity. Next they will be wearing red hats and rationalizing why Epstein wasn't that bad.

You will get varying degrees of people crapping on A Song of Ice and Fire, because it is incomplete... But the tale telling in his books are imo, unparalleled. Ive read and reread the series several times, and it always pays off, especially if you get into the deeper storytelling that you miss on the first read. Ive finally reached a peace with the author, after hating in him like everyone else... That is because i realized that id rather live in a world with the story he started, than live in a world where i never experienced the story at all.

Last week i finished the first book of a trilogy i had never heard of, and its a damn shame it doesn't have more fans. I urge anyone who sees this to add at least the first book to their reading list. That would be Bernard Cornwell's "The Winter King". It is a retelling of the King Arthur tale, from a new angle, and i LOVED it. The first book is pretty amazing on its own, and it stands alone. I have started the 2nd book, but not gotten too far into it.

Id also like to recommend The Black Company books by Glenn Cook. These are a different slant on fantasy, and really good.

I love a lot of his work, but he is insufferable. Its like he never got all of his edge lordiness out of his system when he was a teen, and now he is doubling down.

Stay awhile.... Stayyyyy FOREVER!

Heres to your fuck, Ben!
