There should be a bot that toots "IT'S BEEN" once a week

I just realized that I could legit give a zero-perpetration 30- minute lecture lecture on spaceflight physics and orbital mechanics. That's kinda cool.

Food silliness 

All three of my meals yesterday were burritos.

I'm still going on about Pyre 

It's definitely fitting that invoking Yslach in particular is the best way to get your shit wrecked.

Also, I still can't quite seem to get a grasp on how to reliably use Pamitha effectively :(

Yeah so playing on True Nightwing mode is a lot harder, especially when you made bad decisions like me and invoke Yslach. The number of Titan Stars you have to invoke gradually increases.

Losing in this game feels worse than loss in every other game I've played.

Pop music is important and good actually but /please/ don't make top 40 the only thing you listen to.

Pyre gives you choices that have inherent moral weight and are extremely irreducible to "A is good and B is bad".

Did you know: coelacanths are more closely related to mammals than to ray-finned fish (i.e. most of the fish species alive today)!

Coelacanths are members of Sarcopterygii, the lobe-finned fish; Sarcopterygii also contains all tetrapods, which includes mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Lobe-finned and ray-finned fish split long before some of the lobe-fins developed into tetrapods and began crawling onto land.

This morning, I saw a kid heading into the nearby highschool wearing a rainbow flag as a cape.

Nice.

ELVIS TAXON

"In paleontology, an Elvis taxon (plural Elvis taxa) is a taxon that has been misidentified as having re-emerged in the fossil record after a period of presumed extinction, but is not actually a descendant of the original taxon, instead having developed a similar morphology by convergent evolution. This implies that the extinction of the original taxon is real..."
