  • I’m in the last chapter of Sea of Stars. It’s been decent. I like the pixel art, and the combat loops were challenging enough without being a grind. The plot for the first 2/3 of the game was fairly cutesy but bland. I’m basically grabbing the last few unlockable skills and items before going to the final boss, and I doubt I will try the post-finish addon content.

    I think next I’m going to try… The Witcher 3. I’ve tried to start this game multiple times on PC, modding it and everything. I like the books, played the first two games, but these days I have no interest in sitting at my desk (where I work) in my off hours - I like laying on the couch playing my Switch Lite.





  • Unfortunately, this strategy didn’t work to prevent my kid from having the same milk allergy that I do. In fact, it’s worse.

    Not fatal or anything. His lips become bright red, swelling slightly and peel later, he obviously gets days of the shits, and if it’s repeated exposure he will get rashes all over. And we’re talking some small amount of milk powder or unexpected butter deep in the ingredients of a baked good - if he actually consumed something like real milk, butter, or cheese, it would be much worse.

    Goat cheese seems fine. It’s something about the cow milk proteins.

    For me, it’s just a serious case of the shits when it’s the real deal. I guess my millennial upbringing of a glass of milk daily conditioned some small amount of tolerance.





  • Dumb ploy in favor of the meat lobby. Consumers aren’t confused, they clearly know it’s a different product than meat. Stores put it in a separate section. We have hundreds of products with non-literal names to help consumers understand what they are trying to be.

    The reality is that meat agriculture is bad for the environment, bad for public health (both individual health and for how it spreads disease), and is less shelf stable. It isn’t going anywhere, though, so stop trying to put barriers in front of better choices.
