  This is the correct answer. It’s all about money.

  I think it’s time for all billionaires to develop a deep, primal fear of the common man. There are far more of us and we will only be pushed so far.

  I haven’t bothered to set up anything that complex, but mega.nz gives you an encrypted 50GB of free space. I’m not crazy about supporting Kim Dotcom’s crazy ass, but it periodically solves problems for me.

  I was also a founding member of box.com so there’s another free 50.

  Twenty years ago Google was a small, fun startup that was easy to be a fan of. How the mighty have fallen. “Do no evil,” huh? Disgusting.

  Well, be careful not to get any in your hair.

  Pokemon Red got me through a year of boring ass 9th grade early morning study hall on my Gameboy Pocket.

  With that being said, it’s hilarious to me that someone else took the “pocket monster” formula and built it into something bigger and better than Game Freak or Nintendo could ever develop.

  Nintendo is clearly upset about Palworld, but fuck 'em. They had over two and a half decades to improve the formula and now the best thing they can do is half-assed, low effort cash grabs; Gameplay with the depth of a teaspoon and the visuals of a smeared turd.

  Try harder, Nintendo.

  Thanks for those book recommendations.

  I will add that I remember Silent Hill 2 being particularly creepy a couple of decades ago. No cheap jump scares, but a steady uneasiness that was very well executed. I didn’t like playing it unless my college roommate was around. Still planning to check out the remake one day.

  My wife and I beat Unravel Two.

  That was a fun little game.
