Once on your Substack page, I did appreciate the nostalgic feel of the posted screenshots. Not ME, of course. I do remember Yoda playing games like this, along with his younger brother, waaaaaay back...

Re: The White Lotus (HBO)

I thought this season finale wrapped up each story well enough that I can move on. I was sad to see one person who died, since that was mostly collateral damage. The penultimate episode was a little...

Re: The Videogames Tab

Yoda, okay, I just found it on Steam and started watching one of the trailers. After about 30 seconds I decided to stop the trailer because it was already giving me more information than I want as I...

Re: The Videogames Tab

It's just a spreadsheet, mostly so that I can auto-add things down various categories. That first year prepping for the accountant was tough. I wasn't even actually DOING the taxes, just prepping all...

I guess I missed that reference, but yeah, the teenage timeline is about 25 years ago and that novel was published in 2012.
