I know a couple of Yoshi’s (Japanese) and the first time I met a German Joshi (pronounced “Yoshi”), I thought he had a Japanese name for some reason until I realised it’s short for Joshua. Also, I thought Naomi was an exclusively Japanese name, today I learned, thanks!

My partner is one of these. I have photos of him sleeping on planes, trains, boats and cars. He can be worried about something, or stressed about tomorrow, and still fall asleep within 5 minutes of laying down. I am so jealous.

He survived the mine collapse!

I had already clicked out of this thread when I spied your comment and came back in! Your experience is a lifetime dream of mine. Poo-tee-weet?

(warning: link to reddit) - the thread is ~3 years old, so it sounds like your rough calculations are correct.

I’m just a filthy casual, so I never had the skills to tame high level dinos and stuff, but this game was still such a time suck! And so frustrating yet addictive.

Fucking Ark. I have a major love-hate relationship with that game.
This review visualizes it well.

It was Christmas 2006 and I had an old iPod Mini that I was trying to put some more music onto. Something went wrong though and somehow all of the music, photos and videos had on the device was deleted. The only thing left was a single song, James Brown’s “I Feel Good”.

It didn’t make any sense how I could have accidentally deleted everything EXCEPT for one song, like you’d think either nothing would be wrong, or everything would be deleted. Why just one song?

Later that day we turned on the news and found out James Brown had died that day.

I know it was just a coincidence…And it’s such a small, inconsequential thing…but I still think about it sometimes.

I hate the people who love me, and they hate me.

Shut up, Terry.
