Who called it “The Last Homely House” and not “Hidden Valley Ranch”?

Me report: Just watched an Alf crossover episode with Gilligan’s Island dubbed into Japanese. This is the most “me” thing I have done today. I will keep you updated if I do anything else as characteristically “me”.

Once again it is strawberry and basil season. Thank goodness they go so well together.

Painter’s tape has replaced like 90% of my use cases for duct tape and masking tape. Stuff’s nigh-indestructible and doesn’t leave a mark. It’s the gentle giant of tapes.

I feel like FFXIV has spoiled me. Advancing the main story is always an explicit action in FFXIV. You never get into a situation like you do in single player RPGs where you have to guess which path is the intended one and which is a side path you should explore while you still have a chance. Sure it takes some of the mystery out of the whole experience, but it’s so much less stressful overall that it’s well worth the tradeoff.

The great thing about genres is that they don’t stop existing just because they’re no longer in fashion. If you like a genre you can just make more things in that genre and no one can stop you. Like it doesn’t even have to be a retro thing or a nostalgia thing. Like a kind of thing? Make some of your own!
