I worry they do know what they're doing. Which is not to make games or care for the people under them! But instead be the face of harsh cuts in the wake of overspending, resign in a year or two with a golden parachute, and take all the blame with her so the next CEO starts with a clean reputation.

I wouldn't agree so readily here, because "most important" is inviting comparison, and I'm not sure what the point is. Are we comparing games/toys to something else specifically? Are we saying that games/toys shouldn't be the centerpiece of your life? Some third thing? Makes me cautious to agree.

Game developer here: One of the first lessons we learned when studying game design in college was the relationship between toys and games. Namely, that games *are* toys, but with more structure. (Rules, goals, etc.)

So I'd feel totally fine with it, because it's true.

Guhhhh, say no more. I have had oh so many fun adventures in Insurance Land. Wishing you all the best in smuggling in a bootleg FastPass. 🙏

On the off chance that you haven't looked into this yourself: Have you heard of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? Those sorts of connective tissue disorders can affect both joint and gut health, and also are a huge butt to diagnose.

Regardless, beaming spare energy your way. That sucks a lot to go through. 💜

*Whoof,* upper-right bracket is the group of death. Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, and two different types of Captain Crunch. In the right circumstances, Apple Jacks and/or Fruity Pebbles could make a deep run too.

Also RIP to Frosted Mini Wheats, you'll always be a champion to me.

And then he and Spidey pass each other mid-flight.

Spidey gives a wave.

Kafka is starstruck.

Inspired by my own momentary confusion: Imagine Spidey randomly texting Taskmaster (the villain) clips of Taskmaster (the British comedy game show) warning him that his cover's been blown. Because he's a friendly Spiderman like that.

Oh, I'm a goober, I'm also going to PAX East this weekend. I could bring them along and get some shots there.

I took a trio of Pocket Friends with me when I went to AGDQ this last January! They were good emotional support foxes. I just have a few pics of them on a table at the hotel, I can send those your way if you like.

A Dota 2 tournament I was watching had the commentators (in Discord) suddenly drop out, and they had to start a call in Steam to get their audio back.
