I’ll start with the counterexample. As a young teenager, I did one session of counseling with someone through the church I went to. I said I was feeling down because kids at school were calling me gay (among lots of other things). She spent the entire rest of the session assuring me that I wasn’t gay, because that’s a sin, because she knew people who were gay, and I wasn’t like them, which would be bad. I wasn’t even thinking about the gay part, I just couldn’t figure out why the kids at school didn’t like me, but she clearly wasn’t interested in hearing me out so I switched to smiling and nodding and never went back.

It took me years to ditch the church and many more years to give therapy another chance. My new therapist sent me a Jake the Dog meme and I feel seen.

That therapy isn’t scary and that putting in the work can be satisfying.

Therapy. So far so good!

I was wrong

I can tell without clicking that it’s Snaps

Here’s an example:

Limb of the victim of a curse.
Temporary curse allows engagement with ghosts. The only way to fight back against ghosts, who are cursed beings, is to become cursed oneself.
The safest method, however dreadful, is to cut off an arm of the dead.

That’s where the rescue team comes from in The Chrysalids

The premise was cool.
Playing a game where you need a dpad? Spend twenty minutes hacking up config files and the haptic pad of your choice acts and feels almost kinda sorta like a dpad!
Well okay, maybe not that cool.

8bitdo consistently blows away first-party controllers. I even read the article to confirm that they do also make the comparison.

The latest Gundam series is like that. The GQUUUUX one. “LET THINGS DIE AND MAKE NEW THINGS INSTEAD” says the original Gundam from the original series in the same art style while looking directly into the camera.

Huh. Douglas Adams did something similar when his publisher kept pressuring him to make another Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy book.
“STOP MAKING ME WRITE THESE”

Hahaha. Now do a set where the second movie was better than the first but the third movie was absolutely awful.

Oh sorry, to clarify I meant that I wrote my own TUIs with the Textual libraries.
