Marvel Snap, though while the gameplay is fun the monetization is getting a bit out of hand. I think it can still turn around, though. I’m more of a DC guy myself too!
I also do a lot of crosswords haha. I have Magic Arena downloaded but I don’t really enjoy playing standard.
Finally I have been getting back into Pokémon go a little bit. My partner recently picked it back up too!
Princess Mononoke is my favorite for sure. I love the character design, the setting, the environmental storytelling. And wulfy
Besides that though…I really really liked Spirited Away. So rich and nuanced. I liked the twists and turns the film took
TIL I’m a philosopher
I mean, there hasn’t really been a sense of privacy since the Patriot Act, and Snowden et al confirmed it. And the attempts at data gathering have gotten both more overt and more insidious. (Like, selfie memes, or “get to know me” prompts, or whatever- and I’m not saying these are inherently bad or always data grabs, either.)
Honestly even if you leave your phone at home someone has a phone nearby. Whether you drive to work or take an Uber or public transit or walk, you’re on security cameras and can be traced through other means.
It’s gotten bad enough that I- and I’m sure a lot of other people as well- have problems even intimating with other people, because i feel like I’m over sharing AND selling my personal information. But it’s just a regular conversation. And that’s not okay!
I’m not saying public fora can’t (or shouldn’t) be monitored, but the panopticon has got to fucking go!
That’s absolutely amazing, but looking at a pic online it looks exactly like the Droplet from 3BP lmao.
I’ve been playing a lot of Marvel Snap lately, they just added a Conquest Mode which effectively lets you test new decks (plus earning other prizes but waves hand) I’ve been having a lot of fun with my High Evo Toxic deck and also just made a High Evo Hulk deck.
I’m finishing up Shining Pearl, I basically put my game on hold right before the E4 so I could run around in the Underground for the blasted Spiritomb quest. I ended up getting burnt out and taking a hiatus so I think I’m just going to do the E4 and get Spiritomb later.
I also think I’m gonna pick up TOTK, I watched my partner play through it and I have a mighty need to make monster-killing Rube Goldberg contraptions.
omg I loved 3BP, Death’s End left me in a trance for days afterward.
I’ve read Left Hand and loved it!! My partner asked about it a while back and said he’d love to read it after Earthsea. Do you have any other recs of hers?
I always want to say like, Dark Souls in general but then I remember. I remember
Honestly tho I’m still trying to chase the high of my first playthrough of Undertale (yeah yeah.) I played it right after it came out and happened to be going through a lot. I definitely played it a few times after that and it’s always great but I feel like the first was just magical.
My partner and I finished the audiobook of Le Guin’s Tombs of Atuan over the weekend and started The Farthest Shore, both really enjoyable reads.
I personally am reading through Jane McAlevey’s A Collective Bargain, a nonfiction about the importance of unionization and collectivism as it pertains to both work and democracy. She tells the stories of four folks who managed to fight for and win the right to a union in their workplace. It’s accessible and a fairly short read (just a couple hundred pages), so I’m going to go ahead and recommend that one here too :)
I like kbinaut and k-beans
The difference isn’t just that one is Some Guy and one is Some Guy Who Went To Seminary, the difference is that confessions are supposed to be kept confidential (between the person, their priest, and arguably God), not “confidential” (between the person and the priest, who then rats them out to the boss.)
