I decided I'm not gunna' play any game that isn't released on PS4 or Switch. My PC isn't really powerful enough to play PS5-exclusive games anyway, so that sets a similar hard-limit. I was gunna' decide no game post-2020 but this choice made more sense.

I remember reading an article by Cosmo about music/metal on his ex-blog Invisible Oranges about how since we have a limited amount of time on Earth we're all making limits or acting within limits like these anyway. Some are just more conscious of it than others, so it shouldn't be treated as weird for someone to consciously decide they want to engage with a hobby in a specific manner like this.

It's optimized around dev costs and not performance, sadly.

Cannot imagine caring about the "Game Awards". Firstly, it's a stupid mix of industry professional nominations and popularity vote, I think. Secondly, it's called "The Game Awards" which is the least-inspired name ever. Thirdly, it's mostly just trailers and the emphasis is put on the trailers, so if you got free advertising from it by being mentioned on it constantly you're out ahead anyway.

Now he's periodically throwing at me the included bracket mount screws that he's also juggling. Real mature, guy.

Trying to get the other people on the street to listen to my rant and read my marxist pamphlets that I'm tossing in their air at them but this new guy's deftly teetering on his TV box long-side-up and I'm being shunned as they laugh and cheer and jeer at his display of showmanship.

Getting talked down to by a guy on the street standing on a bigger TV box (98").

eBay is telling me $300 USD.

We're going to have to swap to using Walmart TV boxes.

How much does a big box of soap cost these days?

Oh, so it's "bad" when Haruhi does the "same" episode 8 times in a row but when Wolf's Rain does 4 recap episodes in a row that's OK?

I thought so.
