  My kid was born with a taste for spicy food. When he was about one he used to try to swig the spicy mayo bottle. When he was two he was doing the “more” gesture for more Sriracha on his burrito meat. He’s three now and regularly eats off his Dad’s plate when he has food that makes my nose run. He will probably be snorting Pepper X by his teens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite indie game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Banished, you can’t get more Indie than just one guy’s passion project.

  I don’t know what it is about that game but it really struck a chord with me and I’ve come back to it over and over. It’s my favorite game to play when I’m sick and can’t do anything. It’s relaxing and peaceful and cozy while also being complex and ruthlessly challenging at the same time, so it’s like spinning plates. Seems easy when you get the hang of it but it can all come crashing down if you make a bad enough mistake. It’s spawned some copy cats, and I’ve tried them, but the original just gets me somehow.

  This exactly. It’s an easily recognizable legal shortcut to a bunch of systems, rules and privileges that apply to the situation of two people wanting to live their lives together. Doesn’t have to cost much, if anything, and doesn’t have to have anything at all to do with religion or rituals. Can be just two people showing up at the town hall if you want it to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OG Guild Wars sees an all-new Steam concurrency high during its anniversary celebration | Massively Overpowered⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s definitely not Guild Wars 1, but it does still have a “low level cap” in the way that it’s extremely easy to get to max level doing a variety of content, then the vast majority of content is done at that level. You probably reach level 80 within completing about 5%-10% of the total available content, so it’s just a number. The way you “advance” your character is through gear and cosmetics, and there’s an account leveling system called masteries you unlock at 80.

  As a long time fan and proud GWAMM, honestly it doesn’t need the “classic” treatment. It’s still online, and the last major content patches didn’t change anything significant enough to alter the gameplay in a way that would make people “miss the old days”. They added some end game content and some quality of life improvements and some tools that allowed players to more easily solo content, then left well enough alone. It still has a small core of regular players, and has the event schedule going on auto. I suppose they could do some graphical improvements but it’s still a very good game as it is

  Considering how famously hard to kill werewolves are, it would probably have to be a chocolate wrapped in silver and then eaten with the foil on to do any real harm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For a while, I played the MMO Guild Wars 2 as a music simulator. It has playable in game musical instruments that you can equip, and play with the number keys. A-G are represented as numbers 1-8 with 9 and 0 swapping an octave lower or higher. Killing monsters? Doing dungeons? Raids and world bosses? Nah I’m just chilling in a beautiful forested cliffside near a waterfall figuring out an arrangement for the Lord of the Rings theme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zoomies Cat Racing Demo Gameplay⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cute idea, but disappointed that it’s just a reskinned car racing game. I read the title and I imagine a “cat scale” racer, running around indoors having to jump sofa arms and climb cat towers or doing an obstacle course in someone’s yard, going under bushes and through kids forts etc. Just realizing now a cat parkour game like Mirror’s Edge would be good silly fun.

  I actually love that everything he does sounds different. There are so many artists that have a specific “sound” and stick to it forever. He’s experimental and adventurous and tries so many things, lot of stuff that’s unique and interesting, and other stuff that’s not for me, but it’s clearly for him. I think it’s a sign of creative joy.

  Don’t worry you’ll reread it again 😋

  Part of the pros of it being so long is by the time you’re done you can start over again and it feels fresh hahs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you call your first cousin's child?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your grandmother’s sister is your grandaunt, and you use grand and great the same way you do for mother/father but with aunt/uncle.

  So I think your fourth cousin twice removed was on the Thresher but someone may correct me.
