Not yet.

Albeit I don’t know what the duck TikTok is. Just guessing.

I imagine all the clocks in their houses will just stop. Stop tick. Stop tock.

I never want kids. I don’t know how they’re going to take the news.

What are you talking about, nephew… ;)

Yep.

Amed a small town on the north coast of Bali. Spent all day snorkeling the reef.

Are you a dolphin?

Usually season 2 or 3, but depending on the weather, sometimes it’s season 11. Or, if I’m feeling particularly salty, it’s seasoning.

Water isn’t wet though.

You mean the original original ones? Yeah… they were honestly really icky and rather bad for typing on at speed. I type normally at 150+ wpm and the response speed was lacking and only slowed me down. Cleaning them was… not really an option. Not unless you wanted to spend a lot of time painstakingly taking the keycaps/membrane off and carefully putting it back. I’m honestly surprised to hear that anyone would want to recreate that fucking abominable experience. masochists

How many licks to get to the center of a Ceres Pop?

And if you play it loud enough, you’ll get a free police escort!

I hear you. So to get rich, all I have to do is get a shovel and dig to the Earth’s core.

Millions of peaches?

Boom Blocks - Wii - top of my list. Not because it’s a good game, but because my kids and I had uproarious hours spent playing it together.
Video game I have not yet figured out the name of. It came out in 1986(ish?) and it had a robot/cyborg in a kind of metroidvania level set. Macintosh.
Doom, the original. Scared the PISS out of me. Then I played it hardcore after that. Doom II came out and I set up LAN parties and opened up my nascent IT outsourcing business for those. Helldivers 2 - Honestly, I haven’t actually engaged with a game this hard for decades. Senua’s Sacrifice - This game helped me considerably, in understanding the people I love. Doom 2016 - What’s not to like. It’s perfect. Starcraft II - When it came out. Excellent weaving of story and gameplay. HI-FI Rush - Unexpected fun. Zork - I would have never expected this level of amazing story telling this many years ago.
I know I am short of 10, but I can’t think of anything else.

Man, you remind me of a friend of mine.

If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.

I’ll answer this question honestly, but I’ll first misinterpret the question.

I’ll change it to the person I most appreciated in life.

That person was my 6th grade teacher. She was a former catholic nun turned atheist. She was 70 years old when I had her as my teacher. She was quick with a ruler and quick with a lesson. She never actually hit any kid, but my lord, when she thwacked that long ass ruler on a table, we all paid attention. Critical thinking was her passion, emphasis on science and facts over rhetoric were her bywords.

I didn’t look up to her, I didn’t want to be her. But her lessons were paramount in shaping my life from thence to this.

Ms. Wrech, I still remember you.
