Their normal search is now near useless as well.

No particular order:

Vampires: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Star Wars Galaxies (pre-cu)

Ultima Online

Disco Elysium

Gizmos and Gadgets

Ultima, SWG, and Gizmos and Gadgets were more about the memories of playing them with friends/family.

SWG still has some unique mechanics that I still view as the high tide of major publishers willing to take risks on complexity. Game was probably too ambitious for its own good.

Vampires had a high level of jank even years after release, but boy did they nail the ambiance/music/open approach to quests for the time. Shame about the sequel.

Birdsong lowers cortisol levels.

Photo walks. Your whole point just becomes to go out and take in the scenery. Makes you slow down and appreciate your surroundings in a way that a walk doesn't. If you're after wildlife you have to move with intention, lest you scare the subject. If it's a more static subject you've more time to take in the light and shadows, frame your background.

I guess I'd be one of the kids on Ghostwriter. Or Samuel L?

While he definitely wasn't the first to use autotune, he was one of the first to use that heavily stylized autotune that later became popular. Can hear it on the aptly named Only God Knows Why.

Kinda says it all.

I didn't keep in contact, but if I had to guess it was more about cleaning his money. Weed is just too lucrative.

The guy who sold weed in college owned his own bar right when the rest of us started paying our student loans.

Six Feet Under and Deadwood outside the top 10? Shame.

If you want heart palpitations.

There is a report button, I encourage people to use it.

Pretty ignorant of China's politics myself, who to follow for good coverage of what's going on in China? This latest consolidation of power by Xi, is it more of the same or is this something we haven't seen before?
