The Curse of the Golden Idol was released in 2022, but could probably run on my microwave. It’s a brilliant little detective game inspired by The Return of the Obra Dinn. Highly recommended.

Another detective game from 2022 I loved that’s similarly untaxing on hardware was Strange Horticulture. You run a horticulture shop in a Victorian-y fantasy land where strange things are happening…

Both under 8 hours to complete.

Super Mario Odyssey. It’s mostly extremely fun, controls well, with only occasional camera angles and poor checkpointing infuriation lighting its copybook.

I love this video. The escalating insanity is wonderful. I once got the Harder Drives music stuck in my head for about 2 days straight.

That’s like getting kicked out of the KKK for being too racist.

If the Democrats are like a flood of sewage that comes unbidden into your home, the Republicans are like you constructed a sluice specifically to pipe it in.

I love this film, have watched it numerous times.

The song For A Friend by The Communards that plays over the closing credits was written for Mark Ashton (played in the film by Ben Schnetzer), and it’s a sad, poignant and beautiful song.

There are a bunch of things that might be going wrong if it’s not working. Unfortunately, I don’t have the skills to help you diagnose the issue!

Happy to help!

Not quite middle class people, but otherwise correct:

From Wikipedia

In 1900, there were fewer than 3,000 cars on the roads of France. To increase the demand for cars and, accordingly, car tyres, car tyre manufacturers and brothers Édouard and André Michelin published a guide for French motorists, the Michelin Guide.

In the 30+ year old words of Bill Hicks:

They believe the bible is the exact word of God - Then they change the bible! Pretty presumptuous, huh? “I think what God meant to say…”

Glad to hear its not universal.

No experience I’ve had in the corporate world has been as bad as what I saw everywhere in the non-profit world.

Not saying that for-profit companies don’t have these problems, not at all, but not to the same extent.

That must be location-dependant. I worked for a non-profit for nearly 5 years, a good sized one. The pay was significantly below the for-profit sector, and the organisation was pretty toxic to boot. I have many friends who did similar, and my assessment is that mine was probably the best experience. Burnout is the norm. Toxic culture is the norm. Underpay is the norm. It’s not an experience I’d be excited to repeat.
