X Com 2 and Bloodborne were VERY nearly on mine as well, and if I were more honest and less nostalgia-inclined, Slay the Spire ABSOLUTELY would be too
Yakuza makin the list that's my dawg right there
Wild and kind of sweet that this was still very hard for me to figure out lol
Dude I'm losing it
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?
If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.
Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.
Oh BABY
I was really sad to have missed this one, but I'm really excited to listen - and you should be too!
Thanks! Lemme know if you know anybody hiring out here lol we can't all work at the damn Times
Apt hunting! Charlie got a job at the NY Times so we're moving pretty soon. We are actually gonna hit up Blake tonight but he was on your pod lol - hope it went well
Extremely weird and bad time to be distracted from world events BUT Charlie and I were just talking through Astoria and she pointed to a second story brownstone and said "They're playing Kingdom Hearts up there, he's in Traverse Town," so whatever else happens

This is the real reason we cannot have universal healthcare.
It has never been about the cost, the taxes, the "socialism" it has always been because as a people we'd be too mobile, too able to fight.

That means a lot, because the fact that BR has been written about to death was weighing heavily on me as I went into this, and I wanted to find an angle I hadn't seen too much. Thanks for reading!
Anyway here is a poem I wrote about my Palestinian dad

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.
