I've had USB-C devices since my first Nexus 6p in 2015. Every charger I've ever had still works. I've had one cord fail in all that time. While USB-C has its flaws, durability isn't one of them for me.

I've been wanting to as well out of nostalgia but I know it will be bad by today's standards, or even adult standards in general.

So I'm not going to do it.... Yet.

I just bought this after playing satisfactory and I love the optimism in this game.

I'm so into it. Sure you can tell it's made by a small team but I couldn't tell it was made by 2 people. I don't like playing with mods but this one worked well with them to get rid of a bit of storage monotony.

Oh my god, that's awful. I am in shock people are dismantling our healthcare system and their voters think it's a good idea.

Which Provence are you in?

I loved exile so much! It was made by pesto studios and I feel like cyan wouldn't want to make any of the non cyan Myst games. However they sought after and received the rights to all of the Myst games. So who knows, maybe they would.

This demos so well! I played the original 1997 Riven, I hope 2024 Riven can make an impression on newcomers!

It's so deep, expansive and immersive and I'm not sure if there is anything else out there that has the same feel.

I think you're right in that it's better to be subtle.

The thing about audiences is that they span the gamut, so a little bit of in-your-face is likely seen as warranted for that spectrum of the audience, and a little bit of subtle for observant viewers casts a wider net.

Although I find Doctor Who to be among the least subtle in whatever it tries to do in the genre so, anything over the top kind of feels like it fits in the show as long as they intersperse the season with less obvious commentary as well. My partner only complained that everyone was running around and screaming the whole time 😂

Let's just hope nobody interprets using proper pronouns as leading to a nuclear apocalypse 🫣

I liked the commentary. I find in sci-fi a short parallel to our world is often not seen as a jab because the veneer of sci-fi is enough to disguise it for most people.

I asked my partner if he noticed the commentary and he didn't at all 😅

There is a drug called loyal in testing, someone linked to it here as well.

It's mostly sold as alternate history for the space race, but it's first and foremost a drama.

Drama about people that happen to go to space in an alternate world.

Drama about people having sex with >! their dead children's best friend who they also raised once their parents went to space and died, the repercussions which amazingly happened for multiple seasons, it's kind of weird. !<

The driving force of the show is not the alternate history.

It's like you put a voice to the part of my brain that gets annoyed when bloggers bring it up.

I remember first reading about it on the blogosphere and it blew up ever since then.

Seed pods give me the heebie jeebies and that's about it. Probably an evolved aversion to bee hives and wasp nests that was useful once upon a time, just like spiders and snakes.
