  • It’s not the numerous postal service designations that people are pissed at though. It’s the bills that are making my friends flee the state that people are rightly pissed at. Not every republican is an extremist, but the extremists have control over the party and the rest of the party seems completely fine with them at the wheel. Either it’s extreme apathy or tacit agreement.


  • Tangent here: Not sure if you’ve seen Owl House, [https://64.media.tumblr.com/81a4345c30c8c3e9a14c8b981f4a36de/470a73424ef059ec-5e/s1280x1920/fcccd5b89485fc0e51585d25388e1c216df08bb3.png](but they show a tamagotchi-like device in the second season ) where you can send little pictograph messages to your friends and WHAT I’D GIVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. It reminded me a bit of Pictochat on the DS. But I know any device that was made would be pretty expensive since it would need wireless even if it wasn’t internet-connected. So that means it’d have a high resolution screen to justify the price, which would make it more expensive, then thicker for bigger batteries. It just doesn’t seem realistic or even something I’d want in the end with all the upgrades.

    I do really miss little devices with low resolution displays. A lot of charm goes away for me when you don’t have to use your imagination at all- same with furbies that speak in clear english. There’s SO much room for expanding on the ideas of furbies and tamagotchis that hasn’t been explored, but unfortunately, I’m not sure if that’ll ever actually exist until a group of nerds get together and makes it happen. Being able to fight and collect things and have actual permanence in the game without babying the digital pet constantly would be amazing!


  • Oh! I actually thought the Furby Connect was another mainline furby, but I honestly didn’t find it good looking, so I passed on it completely (I’ve been more of a tamagotchi person anyway). I think a lot of the “furbies are creepy” opinions are just rehashed fear from the lies that were spread about the first couple furbies. I wasn’t allowed to have one when I was a kid because the people on tv said it was creepy because they might have cameras and would record children.

    If my parents knew I have a stripped gen 2 furby with a single eyelash on my shelf looking like a skeleton, they’d definitely think it was creepy haha








  • I haven’t thought about guild wars 2 for years, but I remember buying it a long time ago because it was available on Mac, but it seems like that’s not the case anymore? And now it’s free to play now, I guess? It definitely feels like I wasted my money. Good game though lol



  • I think motivation was something I was having major issues with in minecraft for a while. Exploration is only really interesting if there’s something wildly different far away. That being said, I’ve played more minecraft than I ever have before the last month because of the Vault Hunters mod. It essentially turns the game into a scavenger hunt mixed with a roguelite. You are given 4 items to go collect in the wild which gives you a “key” to enter the vault. The vault gets harder and harder and you’re given better and better items over time. You can use experience (knowledge and skill points) to give yourself passive or active abilities or even permanently increase your movement speed or attack damage. If modded minecraft doesn’t seem like a crazy amount of complicated nonsense to you, I’d highly recommend at least checking it out on youtube to see what it’s all about (though the SMP version is a bit different, so keep that in mind).
