  • Never felt like I made progress in Stardew Valley. Graveyard Keeper was ok at the start because all the tasks were pretty close together and time didn’t matter as much, but later in the story it got too busy.

    Animal Crossing doesn’t feel like I’m making progress. Enjoyed the original GC one, but that was before getting married.

    I did try BotW, and that was fun as long as I was just doing dungeons, but the less constrained parts were much harder for me to justify putting time into because they spanned multiple gaming sessions and I’d always forget what I was doing last time.

    Mario’s great, but the kids have the Wii U. :P

    Some games I find myself playing more of these days: Donut County, Grow: Song of the Evertree, FF13, Noita, Pixel Puzzles.

    Outer Wilds was decent. Its loop is approaching an order that works for me. Ideally I want to do a minimum of 2 loops in the time I have available, to feel like I’m spending my ‘fun’ time productively/getting better, and often I only had time for 1 loop.




  • The immediate effect will be to knock away much of the moral ground Washington sits on in this war.

    Seems like a bad take. Making Ukraine whole is the greater moral priority.

    Per the article, Russia and Ukraine have already been using cluster munitions with a 40% dud rate (unexploded ordinance being picked up by children being the major concern here) while the US cluster munitions under discussion have a 3% dud rate. These are not the same.

    Yes it sucks that these will all have to be cleaned up afterwards, and there is a risk that some will be missed. But this isn’t making the problem substantially worse than it already was, and Ukraine needs these for the success of its defense.
