Subbing this muni got me back into AdVenture Capitalist.

True roguelikes are not. Oldschool sidesscrollers as well. Any game that starts you from zero.

But less pedantically, it's a genre name, not just a description. Also known as the "numbers get bigger" genre.

When I didn't, I would walk three blocks to the library with my laptop once a day to check my email, read webcomics, look up GameFAQs and stream Gossip Girl.

Maybe the "GameFAQs" gives it away but this was before smartphones.

Quite the opposite.

Though, TBF, my wife's maiden aunt sends us a fat pre-inheritance check every other year or so. We usually put it towards a trip to visit her or fixing up the house.

Doris Hall, aka "The Solo Cup Lady"

Still know all the songs!

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 3 days ago

First Cookie Clicker, then AdVenture Capitalist (which I'm surprised to learn is still around!)

I've played a few others, most recently Sixty-Four.

Same, on a vertical spike.

No, I mean both the shadowy organizations of which I am a member are already documented, as is the fact that I am a member of each.

At some point, it stops being a secret society and starts being just a society with secrets.

Sorry, all my conspiracies are publicly known.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 5 days ago

Cook at home. Eating vegan, just don't add anything you can't eat.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 5 points 5 days ago

As someone who's never played, which ones the good one?

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 8 points 5 days ago

Right now, I can get almost anything in a twenty minute walk, the only exceptions are a bakery and a hardware store. And I only upped it by five minutes so I could include the pharmacy and coffeeshop. And this is in an underdeveloped neighborhood, full of vacant lots and detached SFHs with yards. The dream is possible, the problem is getting people to see it and developers to build it.

I'm not from California, so I don't know much about her; but this genuinely surprised me, especially how vicious and vitriolic the comments were. What's going on there?

I can't remember how I first came across this song: My wife says I played it for her, but I remember her playing it for me. The important thing is that we both love it, which believe you me, is not all that common.

I love it because it's rollicking and high-energy and earnest. I eventually looked up the lyrics (which are in Catalan) and it's a pretty normal love song with some nice sentiments, but the passion and desire come across in the vocal tone, even through a language barrier.

If you like Yo La Tengo or The Magnetic Fields, this song will probably hit the spot for you.

And if anyone has more music that sounds like this, send it my way. I'm always expanding my library.

Years ago in a thrift store, I found the perfect pants. The formal look of slacks but without the obnoxious vertical slit pockets. The stiffer fabric and sensible pockets of jeans but with a more genteel cut. I now know these were golf pants, and I wear them every day for work.

I have an upcoming wedding, semiformal, indoors. I'm not in the bridal party, nor am I escorting anybody in the bridal party. Can I wear golf pants to this event, or do I need to go buy slacks, or even a full suit? I'm not opposed to buying a suit, I just want to know what my options are.

Edit: The specific pants I wear to work are these but I might buy something a little nicer for the event.

The last FIVE times I've ordered a tuna salad sandwich at a diner, it's been just tuna, not tuna salad. This is very upsetting, and for the sake of preveserving my marriage I'm not able to just make tuna salad at home. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Places I know I can't get one:

  • Margie's Candies

  • Bridgeport Coffeehouse

  • Moon's Sandwich Shop (Western & Madison)

Please. It's been so long.

So many great childhood memories at the Great zplains Zoo. Didn't expect to see Sioux Falls in the news today and I'm honestly a little sad.

She wrote inside: "You're the best parents I ever had".

I'm so proud of her.
