  • I remember when I got the steam notification that a developer left a comment on my review. I had left some other ones recently so I was excited, then I saw it was Bethesda telling me all the “fun things” I can do after I said it was boring. When I think about it it gives me that cringy awkward feeling you get when you’re embarrassed for someone else.



  • My Factorio gameplay loop be like:

    • well thought out start for the first few science packs
    • hit constraints but continue growing with some elegance
    • this should be enough refinery output
    • fuck
    • spaghetti
    • early game nodes are depleting
    • remember I’m shit at building railways
    • “this mile long belt is a good solution”
    • more spaghetti
    • I’ve been playing non stop for a week
    • burnt out; going to take a short break
    • 6-12 months later- let’s finish this
    • wtf happened here…
    • restart

    180 hours played and I still haven’t launched a rocket, and I loved every minute of it and can’t wait for the next go-round.



  • Do you taste any metal with the Yocan? I have some live rosin and I tried it in the Pax attachment and it was so-so. I then tried it with an attachment from a cheaper vape pen, but it uses a coil to heat it up and it tastes like I’m smoking the coil more than anything else. Also, do you have any tips on how to manage the rosin? It’s so sticky!


  • BlackBerry, household name. Jordan, Nike, household names. GameStop less so, but had tons of news and stories surrounding it, and it’s relatively recent. Having some idea of the subject drives interest, and these all have a journey within their stories. The Zhong story is boring as shit. The only reason headlines capture anyone’s attention is they can say it was a $3 billion dollar heist, when really it was a $600k heist with no interesting tale behind it except he looked through some code and found a bug. Maybe if he continually cashed the coins out and you know, was actually able to throw a billion+ dollars around and was constantly on the run you could make an interesting move. The dude stole the coin, stashed some hardware in his house, then accidentally called the cops on himself. What an amazing adventure, I can’t wait to watch it in theaters.


  • Now that’s thinking way too big. This dude is not a household name like Facebook. You’d probably have to ask a few hundred people on the street before one says they know who he is. His story is also not at all interesting like Catch Me or Wolf. Granted, most people probably didn’t know who Belfort was, but his story was wild and constantly evolving and has a lot of story to tell. Zhong was just some crypto nerd who found one bug and stole a bunch of coin that he never touched, and in the meantime he used his other crypto money to buy friendship and drink. He’s worth a one part netflix doc at most.





  • Happy to see the game moving forward, and thrilled that so many players are happy about it. Idk why but CS stopped feeling like CS to me with GO. I’ll definitely try CS2 out, but I wish I was excited about it too.

    Does anyone know if the custom server/maps community made a place for itself with GO? My peak CS experience (probably mostly due to my ages at the time, was 1.6 with the wacky custom maps, WC3 servers, super hero severs… And then in Source the zombie servers were so fun, especially the ZE (Zombie Escape) maps. Few things in life are as memorable as successfully escaping the mines of Moria from a hoard of player zombies.







  • It’s looking like a hot mess at the moment. Started with an Alec Bradly Black Market cigar box I bought for $3 at the liquor store. It quickly overflowed with product and accessories, and now it all lives in squalor in an upturned cardboard box lid.

    I did have a good thing going with the cigar box when I was meticulous about storage, even to the point of printing custom labels for my jars.
