Oh well they used to be thought of as AA, it at least III (lol these shorthands, man…).

They don’t really have a AAA aesthetic imho, as much as such a statement makes sense. Do you know what I mean? Like their game feels ambitious, yes, but it hasn’t been polished into a featureless sphere.

Yeah what tf platform uses “skeets”?

AA in the parlance

That’s a really unfortunate philosophy because at best it guarantees things never improve

I think if you could opt out of you really really didn’t want to do a particular job then it would be fine. Maybe if it’s a job that a lot of people dislike, like sanitation, you could provide an incentive to make it worthwhile - like you get the next season off.

Oh.

Well thanks anyway

Like you put the ram back in the other way - like flipping a toast halfway through toasting?

I’m still sore that column -nts, doesn’t work anymore. My mnemonic for remembering it was “unts, unts, unts” like a dance club beat.

Actually looking at the usage text I’m not sure how the -n flag ever worked for me… Maybe I’m misremembering.

Yeah I remember being in my twenties and absolutely salivating over a $2 Tuesday lunch special near my work, which is not something I could stomach now that I’ve got some years of home cooking in me.

I wanted to be a cop, so nah. Dodged a bullet.

I do like working out though, so glad it got me into that at least.

What have you tried so far?

You may even find you… enjoy it. 😱

Looks good

Depends if you’re just a hedonist, or a sadist, I imagine.

Yes. All the time

Years.

I don’t usually even start on something unless it’s been swimming in the back burner soup with the other ideas for at least a year. Then when I go to work on it it’s invariably mixed in with other ideas that have been back there waiting for the right moment.

I guess my real answer is that I never give up on an idea. Maybe a decade, realistically? But even then I feel like the spirit of the idea lives on in the soup.

You’re just eating Christmas food early though

I’m sorry that sounds so overwhelming. Is there anyone you press into your service to help out? Also potluck is great for these things because then no one has to cook more than one thing.

My partner’s parents just straight up said they’re not hosting anymore because it’s too much work. It’s allowed.

Thanks for sharing that. My family has been a bunch of loners as soon as the kids went their separate ways, but recently we’re experimenting with getting together for the holidays.

It doesn’t exactly come naturally to any of us, but I’m going to try to appreciate the moments while we have them.

Stress.

But every now and then I get a little whiff of the magic dust that other people seem to love. Like watching my partner dress a tree while listening to Frank Sinatra.

I don’t have any of the nostalgia for the effects, but I can put on a jovial kind of tolerance.

I’m building a new nostalgia, so that in a couple decades maybe I’ll really feel it.
