I was lucky enough to get one of the transparent red ones from the second round of limited editions, but the new red one looks gorgeous as well.

The king of empty promises.

Not sure why folks here are so down on Pocket. I’ve used it on a daily basis since it was called Read It Later, long before the Mozilla acquisition. It’s a handy way to hang on to links temporarily, when bookmarking is overkill and I don’t want to have a million browser tabs open.

Very often I spot something on Mastodon (or pre-Musk Twitter) or one of my Discord servers and want to come back to it later. Maybe I’m on my iPhone and the site is something that would be better on my PC monitor. Maybe it’s a YouTube video and I’m someplace where I can’t play sound. Pocket does the job.

Several of the Commander Cody serials can be seen in early episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

A Short Hike is a very charming game that’s included in the sale. If you’ve picked up one of the bigger charity bundles on itch.io in the last couple years you may already own it.

It hasn’t been that long since their last SF-themed release, with Gabriel Soma and The Singularity.

That being said, I love Alien and a Nostromo map could be amazing.

I like Iroshizuku ink a lot. I have a bottle of Shinkai (“Deep Sea”) that’s a nice blue-gray (more gray than blue, though).

I, too, recommend Jinhao pens. I have a Jinhao 75 and it is an absolute pleasure to write with, I like it even more than my US$50-70 fountain pens.

The children were devoured by saltwater crocodiles, venomous spiders, and Drop Bears within minutes.

Great overview! More D&D-faithful games like Old School Essentials are certainly fine, but I have the most fun with DCC. The third party support and community are both great.

The issue in question is a free download from Amazon/ComiXology or direct from the publisher:

At a minimum, I’d want to be able to unrealistically change direction in mid-air.

I’d like to be able to double jump, platform video game-style. Mostly pointless in daily life, but imagine how good it would feel?

War is bad, but I love the planes.

Jumpman on the Commodore 64.

Machines of Loving Grace released three really good albums from 1991-1995 (and had a good song on the soundtrack to The Crow), and then just stopped while working on their fourth. The lead singer now teaches at the California Institute of the Arts.

Outlast is 2spooky4me. Got pretty far in, but then just couldn’t get past the dread.

Never played it, but Alien: Isolation is a cool-looking game I’m not going to even bother attempting.

I love the standalone Gwent game (which I played first), but hated the more primitive version they used in The Witcher 3. Never touched it beyond what they required.
