Trusted media analyst Skep, finally played Sayonara Wild Hearts over here, and am glad I have a time delay on my posts so I don't just type joyous profanity. Thanks for the recs so I finally played it after.... 5 years sitting on my Switch!

The compulsion to type joyous profanity never really goes away, it just gets easier to cope with after a while. Glad you enjoyed. Don't forget to give the riddles a try.

I will. I'm gonna leave it for a few days, but think I want to try to gold rank all of the levels, too.

Gold rank is pretty fair so long as you don't drop your combo and are decent about hitting the hearts. Anyway you inspired me to have another go through this morning, and now I've already hit my emotional limit for the day.

I know this wasn't the point of your post and hope you feel better, but I'm super hyped to see there's new Kate Nash to listen to from your update.

I hadn't actually listened to Kate Nash before, but that's a "I'd buy that on vinyl" album.

Thank you, and you are welcome! I wasn't always sure where your site was taking me when I clicked things, but it looked so elegant and cohesive that I also kinda didn't care

That is the best review of my site ever. Glad you found some things that were interesting.

Skep's Place is apparently a year old today. This means I managed to retain interest in something I started for one whole year. Just do me a favor and ignore the self-referential Distracted Boyfriend meme I slapped on my front page two days ago and we'll be good.

love my playdate as an "offline" distraction, but find myself reaching for it less and less

I have played a good amount of games where the crank was essential for gameplay. and many of the games themselvs are fun. but i feel like i need to be some kinda monkish stoic to sit and *enjoy* a prolonged session on playdate

oh man, I've always wanted a Panic Playdate! I heard that Teenage Engineering helped with the design.

I know Three Kingdoms is a beloved classic and I still love it but my god this latest round of chapters was a huge mess.

A two-chapter update of Pride & Prejudice that is small on paper but huge in drama.

One day I might remember to update the RSS feed correctly. But I wouldn't count on it.

You know, I've never thought of this till now, but I wonder if Darcy's letter isn't a bit of wish-fulfillment for socially awkward writer types. In real life, does writing someone a long email or letter ever actually work? 🤔 Yes, the letter serves the purpose of a plot dump, but I wonder if it isn't a bit of fantasy on Austen's part as well.

I agree that would be very on-brand for Austen. My biggest counter is that Darcy's only purpose in writing this letter is seemingly to clear up some confusion. He doesn't defend or apologize for his behavior outside of these two points, and I doubt he actually expects to see Elizabeth ever again.

So (spoilers!) it's hard to say that "fix things" was an intentional goal; but on the other hand, while Darcy doesn't know where the story is going, Austen certainly does.

That is true. Neither Elizabeth nor Darcy make a move towards each other after she leaves Rosings. I just wish life were so easy that you could just clear up a misunderstanding by writing a letter to someone. God knows I've tried...

I dunno, I feel like if you put in the effort to constructively lay out your feelings you should at least get some points for it.

The "why" of working so hard on that billboard is to pay medical bills and afford enough fun things to soften the blow of never being able to retire- Source: am in marketing
Sure, we're all slaves to capitalism after all, but if you're going to spend the time anyway, may as well make the effort worth it.
For example, if the casino billboard came right out and said "We're your only shot at retirement", I'd respect that a hell of a lot more than trying to sell me on shrimp scampi.
My thought on how it went would be that, at some point someone had an interesting or fun idea, and they got their paycheck for that, but the sales rep who sold them the billboard got cold feet and yelled at the creatives team until they backed down to “shrimp scampi” so sales could get the safest commission possible.
Hm. Well that's believable but harder to twist into a semi-inspiring blog post.
One of the things that psychedelics always make clear to me is that all of our built environment is the product of human thought, effort, and suffering. How much ANY of it inherently "means" is up for grabs. Understanding the world this way can either be maddeningly nihilistic or it can be humanizing, to know that our built environment is a material manifestation of our collective needs and foibles.
Exactly why I personally shoot for two parts empathy, two parts apathy, and a dash of pointing out all the wrong details.
