  • I’m glad the tone is going back to the original games. I hated the tone of the reboot series, it turned one of the representations of strong, capable women in games and pop culture into a perpetual screaming rape victim.

    There was a lot of neckbeard stuff going on around the time of the reboot, but seriously, it felt like they rebooted indiana jones and turned him into a whimpering victim. I get that’s what they were going for, and the tone they wanted and etc, younger Lara, whatever. It turned a powerful character established as independent and capable and stripped it away.


  • So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

    Additionally, in recent years it has become increasingly clear that Jon’s beliefs/priorities and mine are not aligned. He’s adversarial to people talking about privilege and representation, is dismissive of diversity efforts, has dabbled in covid trutherism, and is pro-MAGA.

    I believe Trump is a self serving authoritarian who’s dismantling democracy, trying to make trans people illegal, and wanting to set up concentration camps for immigrants - whereas Jon in February called him “the best President we have had in my entire life”.

    That took a turn. Also the reason why I said that if this falls flat on its face, there’s a chance he goes rambling crazyguy mode






  • Dark Water Rising is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children’s Book of the Year.

    Marian Hale is an American author known for her historical novels for young adult

    Hale’s second novel, Dark Water Rising (2006), is set in 1900 and follows seventeen-year-old Seth during the devastating Galveston hurricane, blending fiction with historical events.

    The novel takes place only a few decades after the Civil War and Reconstruction, so racist oppression is a significant social factor in the story. The reader sees the patterns and structures of racism through the experiences of Josiah and Ezra. To build this theme, Hale exposes Seth to double standards, social restrictions, and interpersonal tensions. Ultimately, as the racial difference both collapses and is upheld in the aftermath of the storm, Hale reveals the social segregation to be a construct—or, as Mr. Vedder puts it, “ceremony.”

    This could be an AI sloppy summary, but , maybe it’s not so bad? IDK.




  • 2 y 4 m. I do remember it being a huge pain around about the age you’re struggling with though. when she was younger I’d jiggle and rock her on my legs with this as noise in the background

    We also did the breastfeeding until sleep thing, but at some point it stopped working and my wife wanted to stop breastfeeding , so that went out the window. challenging times. if you have a healthcare network that offers support and advise, ask them or your pediatrician as well. If you’re going to therapy, maybe your therapist has some advice; one I had, has a few specialisations, including child development, and she gave us advise from time to time.

    IIRC modern iOS ships with a file manager. The black box used to be even worse!

    you mean to tell me the patient zero of enshittification was fucking trash? No, really??

    The whole fucking movement happened the second they rolled out the fashion adverts for fucking ipods that required itunes to scatter your files into a zillion folders for no fucking reason and people went “yeah, I don’t give a shit about owning my device or data”

    Then came the walled garden, then the shitty apps, then the perpetual surveilance machines.

    Now I literally cannot avoid having a phone since work , citizenship and banking two factor authentications are mandatory and on my phone. Fuck sake.
