Minecraft.

If I’m feeling particularly antisocial I’ll play Angband or Umoria.

This is the only logical conclusion.

While there are some client-side mods, they have limited functionality and are mostly cosmetic. For “modded” Minecraft you need to run the mods server-side. The easiest way to do this is to download the server packs from Curseforge and run one of those. Once running, they’re pretty-much maintenance free. You can update when the server packs update, but unless they’re critical updates, it’s up to you if you do it or not (when you do, you need to ensure the clients are updated to the same version; which they can do easily with Curseforge) Set up scripts for backups and server reboots every so often and you’re good.

Mate. She’s a sexual assault victim. You forced her to expose herself against her will. You forbid her from covering herself to feel safe and comfortable. When she had an anxiety attack and PTSD, you stood over her and shouted at her?

You are her partner and lover. You are supposed to be her safe space. You are supposed to support and nurture her.

You are now an abuser. You are now her abuser. With time, and therapy (for you: to understand how much you fucked up here) you may… MAY… repair the relationship. I wouldn’t count on it, though.

When I was eleven (1988) we moved to a rural property with no power. I left when I was eighteen… So… Seven years.

Dude. Literally the first sentence of the body text…

Specifically the jaw.

I found that I was unconsciously clenching my jaw and would lie awake for hours. Once I started consciously unclenching I would fall asleep really quickly.

Joyce Summers. That episode of Buffy was a masterpiece.

Hanging Rock would be defensible with a little work. Good visibility of any approach, too.

I’m a big queen fan and I love Thank God it’s Christmas. I also love Jona Lewie’s Stop The Cavalry, which isn’t really a Christmas song, but only gets played at Christmas. Bing Crosby’s White Christmas is my favourite traditional recording. Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano needs to be binned forever.

For future reference, and to keep you out of jail, always ask for consent before physical contact. Asking may seem awkward, or counterintuitive, but it removes doubt. Also, ‘no’ means ‘no’, and no reason or explanation is necessary.

Follow-up comment…

I have installed the Winamp Equalizer app and changed the eq settings and they now sound more like traditional earphones because I boosted the high end.

Also, they saved my life a few weeks ago. I was fishing in a small creek in the bush and a tree fell. I had to jump out of the way. It was a eucalyptus tree about 4 feet across and 100 feet tall. If I hadn’t heard it (had I been wearing traditional in-ear earphones) they would have been carrying me out of there in a bucket.

I was like “WTF? I’ve never even heard of beef tea and I’ve lived in Victoria my whole life!” Then I clicked the link. 🤦

I got Shokz Openrun Pro after dealing with a couple of shit pairs: everything falls out of my weirdly shaped earholes. I was worried about the band around the back, but I don’t even notice it. Because they’re bone conduction, they leave my ears open and I can hear cars or bike bells. My favourite bit is that I can wear them with earplugs when I mow the lawn and still hear music.

Good Morning Glipglorp! From the Androids and Aliens podcast by the Glass Cannon Network. It was a random bit of world-building that the players latched on to and ran with and it turned into a whole episode.

An American Werewolf in London.

I stayed up watching it on my brother’s black and white TV. My parents had no idea. I nearly shit the bed afterward when my brother jumped on me in the dark and yelled “raaaah.”

It depends on whether you’re referring to individual refried beans or the dish ‘refried beans’ as a whole.

If it’s the former, it would be ‘too many’ (individual) refried beans.

If it is the latter, it would be ‘too much’ (of) refried beans… Unless you had multiple servings, in which case it would be ‘too many’ (servings of) refried beans.

That is my opinion: as such it is subject to change should further information come to light.
