A baby made of horribly caustic acid that is actively moving toward other babies, and all you have available to stop it is punches. Good to punch, or bad to punch? 🤔

(The baby is much faster than you. It will reach the other babies before you can. It is about to pass you, though it hasn’t yet done so, and all you have time to do is to give it a quick, decisive strike to knock it off-course)

Hm. The basketball and soccer look a lot like the Tiny Toons sports game they had on the Sega Genesis back in the day.

This game and the OG Planetside both taught me the simple joys of fighting for/on a bridge.

You can have a huge overworld, you can have an intricate map with all the lanes and passageways you want, but, in the end, the (much, much older) children yearn for the bridge.

Truly, I am in awe. Everything meant so little before this moment. How lucky we are to have lived to see this day. I must never forget this. I will never forget this.

Ah, dang. I knew I shouldn’t have wished for more mixed-use housing on that monkey’s paw. My bad, guys. This one’s on me.

Can’t wait until they give up on this gimmick and we can go back to connecting over WON. Any day now.

I don’t know why, but I kinda can’t stand headlines that call people “[company] boss.”

Head is fine, lead is fine, manager or CEO are fine (where applicable), whatever else is probably fine. But, to me, this always seems akin to saying, like…“Naughty Dog Head Honcho Neil Druckmann,” or “Naughty Dog Big Kahuna Neil Druckmann,” or, like “Neil Druckmann, the Big Man in Charge of the Naughty Dog” or something. It irks me. I find it irksome.

Did you try reducing down the blueberry juice? If it’s a savory flavor like you say, I’d be interested to know what properties it might have as a sauce.

More specifically, I’m curious how it’d be in three ways: one test group cooked down on its own with no additives, a second one simply used to deglaze a fond and made into a pan sauce that way, and then a third made into the same pan sauce, but then mounted with butter.

Hah, who knows? Maybe you could make a roux and try it as a gravy. Oh, or maybe, if you season it right, you could make it into like a sweet/savory/spicy chicken wing sauce?

You’ve definitely got some possibilities!
