Sweet, I guess I’m going to have to get a PC at some point. I actually played Riven for iPadOS recently and it was still fun, but the point and click is pretty tedious.

I’m not sure a remake willl ever match the magic of when I originally played in 1998, though. My laptop was so junky I played most of the game under a blanket because the screen was so dark, haha.

Ad Riven. I read all the novels, too!

It’s been a while, but I wanted to come back and thank you for this rec, because I really like the blue lizard sunscreen. I got the stick for my face and tube stuff for the rest of my body and I’m really pleased with them. These actually rub in very well and I’m not leaving white streaks on everything I touch.

Me, too. I have always been pretty neutral about Tom Hanks, but now I am wishing he read more audiobooks.

Sweet, thanks for letting me know. I’ll hang tight until it gets fixed then.

That was a very good one. I also loved her last novel Dutch House. I read it when it came out and then listened to the audio read by Tom Hanks a couple times during the early days of the pandemic when all I could really do was go for long walks. It’s not exactly a cheerful book, but I found it very comforting.

I am very, very excited for Ann Patchett’s Tom Lake. I don’t even know how to explain it but her novels are like some sort of mix of hypnosis and dopamine to my brain.

Plaid button down, skinny jeans, and boat shoes. This means I have reached my final form where I dress exactly like my mother.

There are several spider communities set up on lemmy already, but I’d love to see them take off. Everybody tell your tarantula/spider-loving friends!

If you’re talking about speech, I think you’re talking about the “mid-Atlantic” accent, although that fell off earlier than 2000. It was a fake upper-class accent actors were trained in. I don’t know much more than that about it.

Laser eyes. I’d trim all my trees, maybe start a service.

In the early 2000s there were a couple of different forums I liked, so once a day I’d walk over to the library to use the internet and catch up. I’ve missed having that kind of healthy relationship with the internet, haha.

That is a very good testimonial for Coppertone!

I wish I could pin a comment.

This sounds like it would be a really good everyday option. I will look for it, thanks!

I think I have used this in the past. I don’t remember it very well, but I seem to remember liking it and I see that they have a mineral version that I can get locally, so thank you!

Thanks, I haven’t tried a stick before, but that does sound really appealing, especially for carrying around. I had a sunscreen leak in my bag with my phone ages ago. Amazingly, it still worked, but I spent the next few years with a very blotchy screen.

I created a playlist of the recommendations here and thought I might as well share: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9W-RMmS6ewK9p8OtJEKXtClpXEibXEIU

I also added this video on the Boeing 737 Max from MegaProjects, and a couple on a subject near and dear to my heart: Boy Bands of the 90s:

When Corden Met Barlow and The Boy Band Con.

Well that is a very good point. There are several gyms in my neighborhood that I’ve been going to and I certainly don’t need anyone egging my house or worse, lol.

Logically I know you are right, and if it happened to my niece or nephew, I’d tell them “that’s life”. I think I’m just envisioning those Easter egg hunts where the big kids come in and get all the eggs :) And now that I say that I realize that I would not even be the big kid in the scenario where I go against an 8-year-old’s encyclopedic knowlege of pokemon, so I really have created a lot of drama in my mind for nothing…
