This is fair evaluation of the NYT...
Which isnt to say it is kind to the times, but the arguments made, while critical, are not sensationalized. The NYT deserves this criticism, REQUIRES this criticism.
Just a fantastic piece.
Hardcover book "the rise and fall of the galactic empire by dr. Chris kempshall"
Just started reading this...
"In the face of such a tyrannical government, rebellion was not just an inevitability but a moral imperative."
I think my camera is finally crapping out. Might need to sell some stuff to buy a new camera.
Exciting, and also, a tremendous bummer.
I might have to film some on my phone to keep the schedule up.
1998 was a great year in gaming. And the amount of time I've spent playing mount and blade.... is truly staggering.
My 9 games.
Engaging in problematic games can be used for education and empathy, a tool for catharsis, or an indulgence in bigotry.
Knowing the difference can be difficult. But we can help each other better if we are willing to talk and listen as opposed to lecture and chide.
Be curious, not judgemental.
It is wild to me that Texas had a senate primary where a pro-trans rights, anti-billionaire candidate was set for the dems and has the most momentum going into november, but Blue-State California is trying to push a anti-trans, billionaire-friend-having govenor as the future of the Dems...

🇰🇷He was a farmer. Chickens and apples, though the current farm has cattle and spinach. My great uncle runs it nowadays.
🇵🇷 He cut cane, worked in a steel mill, then security.
Got some filming done during lunch.
Feels good with *gestures at a crumbling world* to be back to working on videos.
2 million people voted in the texas republican senate primary this year.
2.2 million voted in the democratic senate primary this year.
Ive never seen the dem voter turnout outpace the republican in my time following texas politics.
2014 the dems got 500,000
2020: 1.8 million.
2025: 2.2 million
How I arrived on Bluesky
Scrubs is probably my favorite sitcom.
My best friend and I still send each other memes all the time and we see our own friendship in turkey and JDs.
I was hesitant to watch the new scrubs. I like how the show ended. (Season 9 isnt real)
The first episode of the new show was good!
For the first time in my life, I can see the images in magic eye pictures.
I feel like im 12 again.
Now that I'm getting older, I'm noticing my reflexes for action games are getting worse. Concordantly, i find myself gravitating to more puzzle-y, brain involved games.
I am not trying to make a statement of general trends, but more and more i find myself falling into stereotypical tropes.
I love that
Yes it was!
If it is not clear, i thoroughly enjoyed it. thanks for the recommendation
The Painscreek Killings was interesting. It felt like a mix of Resident Evil, without the combat/zombies, and Dear Ester.
and the ending sequence threw my for a loop.
Very happy with my students' responses to @legalkimchi.bsky.social & @jdragsky.bsky.social essays.
Students seem to grasp how empowered we are to determine our (game) experiences from "The Expressionist Games Manifesto" & "Dehumanization and Creating Monsters"
Good stuff.
honestly, i'm loving it. Combat is a lot more interesting, which really energizes my tactical players. but we still have entire sessions without combat, like last night, which helps my roleplay heavy players.
oddly, no. they both have sisters.
So, not sure if this is a "boy" vs a "girl" thing.
I describes something to my Draw Steel group as "feeling like you licked a 9 volt battery.
The guys in my group knew exactly what i meant. The ladies in the group had never licked a 9 volt battery...
is this just my group or universal?
it is currently $2.49 on gog
OK, it is 100% an FMV game, but unlike any of those that came out in the 90s. I kept thinking, THIS IS THE BEST USE OF FMV I'VE EVER SEEN
There's also telling lies. Im thinking of getting both
I lean one way more than the other, based on the evidence.
But I was right in the middle for most of the playthrough.
So Her Story was fascinating...
Wow.
So I started playing her story as my first go (mainly because it was $2.49 in gog) and i couldnt help but get distracted by thr background music.
Curse of the content creator.
I recognized Chris Zabriskie's music almost immediately...
Thats a lot of games I want to try now...
