How about we be good to each other because it's the right thing to do. And in a world full of people struggling to get by it's what we can all offer each other. That works. If any behavior is predicated on causing other people to act a certain way it's going to have its failures when encountering the great mess of humanity out there.
My wife and I were having fun doing co-op on the Trine games. Coordinating your character switches to cross obstacles can be pretty fun. The Lego Star Wars games were also fun for us both to just mess around and cause chaos.
If you just got a point for never having written a postcard, go write a postcard! And mail it to someone that you appreciate in your life. It doesn't need to be from anywhere exotic or say anything profound, it just takes a few sentences. If you really want to get fancy about it, a lot of little art galleries sell postcard sized prints and you can give someone a tiny little piece of art that speaks to you. Or go to a museum and buy like 10 at the gift shop and keep a stockpile to send when you want to reach out. People love it, and you probably will too.
Our rescue was a "lab/beagle" on paper, but yeah she's definitely got some American Staffordshire Terrier. Our HoA is very dog friendly and she's a favorite around the neighborhood. If you adopt a mutt in the US they're going to have at least some kind of pittie in the mix.
This is why the DPH awareness campaign referenced in the article is so important. This is some predatory bullshit interfering with people's healthcare. Ain't always fun being in MA but this is leading by example.
Like everyone's been saying, learn to take care of yourself. Cook and eat well and exercise and sleep. But also just fuck around a lot. Say yes to things. Try something new every time you can, even if it's just a dish you've never had. Meet people and talk to them and have fun with them. It's harder to meet people as you get older.
Travel if you can, but you don't need to be a jet setter to have new experiences. Find trails and museums and go listen to live music. Try creating things, you don't have to be good at it or keep doing it, just doing it is the point.
Aging comes with a certain amount of solidity, in your energy and mind and responsibilities. It's amazing and it's not something to fear, but it does mean you can't just fuck around as much. And if you're going to be a person for the rest of your life it might as well be a person you like.
I have no idea what that trailer was about, so that tracks with FromSoft, and I love them for it, and I will be playing this. Probably after another base game playthrough
"Well we don't know, actually. Academy scientists assume that it's some sort of life form that coalesced around the myriad beliefs of sentients regarding the understanding of time and adopted language to best fit their understanding."
"So it gave itself that nickname?"
"In a sense, yes."
"Like when me mate Paul had that ketamine and declared himself the Unstoppable Love God until the police wrestled him to the ground?"
It was an easy recent favorite of mine after a playthrough. The atmosphere is so well done. It got me to finally play Alan Wake and I'll definitely pick up that sequel at some point too.
I respect that people can have different reactions to things but I can't imagine seeing Louise Fletcher and having anything but both glee and dread for a Kai Winn episode.
