The whole Anakin-Padme romance was just awful. Weird Al's line in The Saga Begins:

Ah, do you see him hitting on the queen Though he’s just nine and she’s fourteen? Yeah, he’s probably gonna marry her someday

sums up the absurdity quite well.

Synthesizers, too.

I moved to a smaller city in South Korea in 2004 to teach English. A short while after I got there, I met a couple who were from a small town down the road from the small town I grew up in in Eastern Canada. Apparently we even went to the same small university (3000 students total) together and I somehow managed to never see them there.

I release everything as "Underwaterbob" - my username. You can find me just about everywhere. If you don't have a subscription, it's all on YouTube, too: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ_MZ9yX0STsY1l2Ml2zBFw

I make a wide variety of music.

Early periods, kids are tired. Late periods, kids are distracted because freedom is near.

One of my favorite Koreanisms, is the one where when you're drinking and you cheer "먹어 죽자!" Which literally translates to "eat die". Essentially, it means let's drink until we're dead. Good times.

One tiny stone had me calling an ambulance. I thought my appendix had burst or something. I passed it later that day, and I almost missed it it was so small. Evil little bastards.

Now I'm being sold the idea that I should feel joy at not being sold anything. WHere does it end?!?

Humble isn't trying to compete with Steam or Epic, and they don't engage in the anti-consumer practice of paying off developers for exclusive access to games.

I'm aware of the complexities of software development. If Epic seriously wanted to compete with Steam, they really should have tried harder to provide a better service instead of trying to buy loyalty through free games and exclusivity contracts.

I feel like they used to do this, now it's a crapshoot. My Steam wishlist has become rife with games I'm kind of interested in, but never go on enough of a sale for me to seriously consider. Which is honestly probably not a problem given I already have more games than I'm likely to finish in my lifetime at the rate I play them now.

I'll say! I finally got around to Elden Ring, and it's everything I could have hoped for in an open-world Souls game. It lives up to the hype for sure.

I succumbed to the single-space-after-periods madness a few years ago. I'm used to it now, but the transition was hard.
