Can’t you just tell us what it is and not send us to YouTube?

I thought that might be the case, but clarity wins out with me.

Final season of Lost, viewers dubbed the weird plotline that replaced the flashbacks ‘the purgatory’ they were all in until each had died and they could move on together.

Nah, they’d just assume they’d died a year ago and were in purgatory since then.

I was in a coffee shop a few years ago and a guy in line was wearing an O.G.R.E. shirt, a way old computer game from 1986.

I said “Nice shirt! Never played that game, though.”

Completely delighted, he ranted about his love for the game until my order was ready. And it was a bit hard to get away from him afterward.

This is definitely someone who could’ve fallen into that category.

But I don’t see it that way because I’m also neurodivergent and know people never engage with us like that. Might have made his day.

Just a little story from that borderline in the Venn diagram.

I remember the original getting a lukewarm reception.

It was beautiful, played well, but extremely short and not very challenging.

But it was a long time ago, I could be misremembering.

In 1983 or so I bought a Japanese themed RPG for the Apple IIe published by EA.

It didn’t like the disk drive we had, so the copy protection would reboot over and over.

There were only two models of disk drive for the Apple IIe.

EA has always been this way.

Prince of Persia.

Jordan Mechner is one of the greatest.

Ah, right, Best Buy was the Geek Squad. That’s who would be hanging out there.

I assume the joke is (usually undocumented) people look for work in the parking lots of Home Depots, hoping to be hired for day labor, and the same may happen with the nerd glut in our culture and Best Buys.

I’ve never witnessed this as I live in a smaller city in Northern MN but it’s a cliche here in the States.

The Aristocrats!

Fuck EA.

“Blaming the economy won’t cut it.”

Look, it’s a fascist influencer!

I would never trust anything Kennedy said.

And he’s probably disgruntled about it.

Definitely, my situation would not be normal in Minneapolis, where I was born and grew up. There it was a little more chaotic, longer lines, but still not terrible.

Minnesota hasn’t been one of those states desperately trying to keep people from voting, thankfully.

And we are trying to keep it that way.

We don’t have these issues here in Minnesota. Plenty of polling places, short lines.

Here in Duluth I live right across the street from the church that is a polling station. Never taken me more than ten minutes including the walk there and back.

My vet tech wife, more than 40 years in the business, says she has never before seen a pet Peeve.

Thought you’d like to know you are relatively original.
