I am not and have not been silent, and I refuse to be so.

Humans are human no matter where they’re born, assholes.

I will often call her name, Triscuit, but also lovingly call her ‘fuzzy girl’ all the time.

MAY?!

Dumb cat of mine is still dumb as a box of rocks, but I love her anyway.

They aren’t bad, they just aren’t doing anything out of the ordinary. Ubisoft keeps pumping out effectively the same game for every iteration of Assassins Creed and Far Cry. Activision is the CoD machine and has been for some time. EA is… EA. Microsoft refuses to make a good Halo game because they won’t leave their developers alone long enough to see what they can come up with before mandating that it has to be X, Y, and Z.

It’s no wonder that smaller, usually indie, developers are seeing such success. Sony’s been doing well because the games they’re publishing are legitimately good experiences, but that’s only going to last so long before they get tired of spending oodles on singleplayer games and not seeing the returns they want.

Everything’s turned into a live-service game because they’re the only thing that actually generates any kind of consistent return on investment, and everything fancy in those games is out of reach for the common person struggling to get by, so the entire game is held up by a small group spending WAY too much on them.

Our AC runs all year long. It has to.

Meanwhile it’s gonna be 80 degrees here in Austin. Merry Christmas!

…why? What’s the point?

The Celestial plane, obviously.

Look, you went out of your way (or were put out of your way) to be here and learn the language. You live here, you work here, you pay taxes here, you’re at least as American as I am, and I was born here. So that has to count for something.

Only if you already have a ton of money, and it won’t be what you think.

That’s Dr. Jan Itor to you.

So… give us what we want or we’ll take it by force, in other words?

No, but that’s been the biggest barrier to these kinds of plastics reaching global adoption. The vast majority of plastics have something to do with food production, or are exposed to myriad chemicals and temperatures. If they can’t do literally everything that normal plastics can do for the same price or cheaper, they won’t penetrate the market. I’m all for them, but it’s gonna be really tough to make any kind of dent.

Unless you can serve food in it and toss it in the dishwasher without it melting or falling apart, it’s basically pointless.

Believe me, we’re aware.

Ideally while rotting in prison.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I remember seeing them when I was… well, about 20 years younger or there about. I remember them being pointless because by the time you go around to the second half of the bottle the soda had gone flat. Mind you, this was also after it’d been ‘sipped’ on for a week. As a kid I was only allowed one small glass a day.

I’m considering one to swap out the Xbox in the living room, but I also have a Lenovo Legion Go that I rarely use so I may just use that.
