    I’ve never been impressed with my fellow Americans who talk shit on the French. We have mostly let go of our revolutionary spirit, and they never did. We would do well to pick up where we left off at Blair mountain.








  • I tend to prefer indie games, cult classic series like armored core, and a few big mainstream titles like Mario kart and breath of the wild. How much time I put into games depends not on what “kind” of gamer I am so much as whether I need more out of it. I’ve only played Undertale twice through, but it had a big impact on me and at the end I had enough to take with me. If I feel like I’ve lost those impressions I might go back to that well after a long while. Right now I’m going back to a few of my old PS2 games to see if there’s more for me to draw from them. They’re like old books you reread with new eyes.

    On the other hand I’ve put hundreds of hours into darkest dungeon and slay the spire, and I’ll probably continue until I’ve gotten to a point where I feel like I’ve overcome my limitations in a meaningful way. Those games are about dynamic challenges and perseverance at any cost, which resonates with me on a deeper level.

    Games are art, or should try to be, and how long you spend with them depends on your relationship with them.




  • The store bought tortillas can’t compare to fresh made, whether flour or corn. I know everyone always says this, but now that I know they’re right I’m willing to sound insufferable about it on the internet.

    It feels like a lot of effort the first batch, but it gets easier and you can prep the dough balls ahead of time (even frozen) so that dinner gets on rails pretty quick. Also, I had to mix in some all purpose flour to get the cohesion where I wanted it. Definitely watch a video before you jump in, it’s got some subtleties to it.
