The same happened to me with Zeldo and Baldurs Gate. Tragically I will never unlock the mystery of the tearful kingdom because I had to blow up some goblins

My career making clothes with weird symbols instead of lettering is in tatters. I'm ruined!

Oh I don't feel bad, just disappointed I don't get to see the end.
I'm trying to make myself not play them constantly so I don't burn out on them and can finish them.

Reply to comment by twovests in Bluesky review by Moonside
Yeah same the "new post" circle is half way off the bottom of the screen and hard to click on my phone.
It feels jankier than twitter BUT: I left twitter a couple months in to musks reign and well before the site started actually falling apart, so idk how the jank is today.

I will caveat all of that with the fact that I read it in junior high, and don't really remember much. It felt weirdly manipulative in parts but some of it seemed innocuous.
I do not endorse it. But I think if you're going to read any book on the subject, you can do a lot worse, I guess is my stance.

I read it. The advice is not that bad in some places but it is kind of weird. Basically it's "People love talking about themselves, so ask them questions and listen to what they tell you. Even if you don't say much they'll often think you're a great conversationalist." That one is good. Others are like "People love the sound of their own names, so say their names a bunch".
I don't think it's that weird or manipulative, it just has kind of a clickbait title from before clickbait was a thing. Most of the advice doesn't seem that good (specifically saying peoples names freakishly often) but it's not like... pickup artist type stuff or anything.

I believe busses should be equipped with those things ambulances have that turns the lights for them, and to save money we can just take them off cop cars.

It's really too bad the glimpse project went defunct.
There should be more forks of software that are 99% just changing the name. (Glimpse was much more than that I know)

Reply to comment by nomorepie in Barry is a good television program by flabberghaster
It ties things up, so it's worth watching. But it's not as good. Still good though.
Good, not as good, and ends the show well.

They were early standouts in the field way back when. Now there's a lot of podcasts out there so it's harder to stand out.
I still like them but they were in their heyday when bernie was running and it seemed like there was a point to being interested in politics.
