I'm tired all the time and there's almost always something else I should be doing. Plus, so many games feel like just more work instead of fun.

I just returned home from Graceland and didn't realize that!

I don't get it. Men go around for years carrying Yeti tumblers and no one bats an eye. Women start carrying a similar cup with a handle and everyone acts weird.

Collecting snail shells. Turns out there are hundreds of land and freshwater snail species, many that are easily identifiable by even as an amateur. Some are common but many are in narrow habitats or restricted ranges, making collecting an adventure. The microsnails might be the coolest. They're insanely small but under a hand lens they can have very intricate shells and they are everywhere! It's like pokemon but irl.

Ya... wonderful story telling and gameplay though. It made both me and my brother cry.

It's easy and fun

I was going to say the same thing. Pretty much all the games I was playing at the time worked on Linux 10 years ago, Portal 2, Civ 5 , Kerbal Space program. There were others I've forgotten too.

As a geologist who works in the Appalachians... They're cool af.

Nothing is more surreal than being a geologist. Just today I was standing on a dirt road in the middle of farmers field. Looking at the ground is an innocuous little outcrop of boring looking rocks. But those rocks erupted at the bottom of a back arc basin off the coast of Laurentia, was buried by ocean sediment for ages, had an entire ISLAND of rock thrust onto it, and then buried 10s of kilometers deep. The history one rock can tell is amazing.

I tried Mapquest recently for the first time in 18 years. It was astonishing just how terrible their app and directions were.

I would gladly pay a few dollars a month for an alternative to Google Maps or Waze, but it's like no company even wants to try and compete with Google and Apple maps.
