I didn’t really “get” Prince at first either. His biggest radio hits didn’t quite click for me. But then I watched a full concert video and loved it. He was just radiating energy the entire show in a way that wasn’t quite captured by the studio recordings IMO. And I think it’s one thing to read that he was an incredible multi-instrumentalist versus actually watching him absolutely shred on several different instruments at different times throughout the show.
One of the things that helped me improve a lot was watching streamers play. Baalorlord as previously mentioned is great. I’ve also watched a lot of videos from Jorbs and Frost Prime.
They all have some videos specifically targeted toward newer players where they explain their thought process but I’ve also gotten a lot of value out of just watching them do normal runs. I like to figure out what I would do in each situation and if they do something different I try to analyze why they made that decision instead. There are many cards that I didn’t think were very good until I saw an expert using them.
First thing I remember was asking Papa why
For there were many things I didn’t know
And Daddy always smiled, took me by the hand
Saying someday you’ll understand
Well, I’m here to tell you now each and ev’ry mother’s son
You better learn it fast, and you better learn it young
'Cause someday, never comes
I’m a fan of the Black Sabbath original but I also want to give a shout out to this incredible cover by Charles Bradley
I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I lost the best friend
That I ever had
She was my woman
I loved her so
But it’s too late now
I’ve let her go
I’m going through changes
I’m going through changes
We shared the years
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way
But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray
I’m going through changes
I’m going through changes
It took so long
To realize
And I can still hear
Her last goodbyes
Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years
I’m going through changes
I’m going through changes
Counterpoint: Watch more violent movies.
If someone gets decapitated or fed through a wood chipper then you know for sure they’re dead and not unconscious.
Only the most recent.
I also have never had any issues with game breaking bugs like that. I’ve encountered some glitches but nothing a save+reload couldn’t fix. Everything just resets to its normal spawn point.

Right, and for pronouns you don’t just put apostrophe s after. So you don’t make “it” possessive by adding apostrophe s just like you don’t add apostrophe s to “he” or “him” to make it possessive.
If you treat the pronoun “it” like a regular (non-pronoun) noun instead of like other pronouns, that is itself an exception.
As “its” is used to indicate possession by “it”, “its” is an exception to apostrophe-s construction as used to indicate possessive forms.
Most, if not all, pronouns work that way though.
“The man’s arm” becomes “his arm” not “him’s arm”. “The woman’s arm” becomes “her arm” not “her’s arm”. Similarly, “the robot’s arm” becomes “its arm” not “it’s arm”.
I don’t really care if people use “it’s” instead of “its” , but I don’t think it’s a unique exception. The only thing that’s unique is that it is pronounced the same way as if you tacked an apostrophe and an s on the end. If we used the word “hims” instead of “his”, I’m sure people would start putting an apostrophe in there too.
Everything about that episode is incredible. It absolutely deserved the three Emmy awards it won (best writing, best lead actor, best supporting actress).
I can think of so many more “or shit, the scene where” sentences you could add to that paragraph. It’s just one incredible scene after another. So much happens in such a short time but it doesn’t feel rushed—you just feel things rapidly spiraling out of control in such a visceral way.
I just entered spring year 2 and I’d say things are going well.
I started building sprinklers in the fall but I’m up to 20 now so I should be able to sell quite a few more crops than previous seasons. Also built a few fish smokers which has definitely boosted my fishing income.
No animals other than my cat and the fish in the tank that I put in my bedroom, but I bought a silo during the winter in preparation for raising some animals in year 2. That should make it easier to lean into cooking now that I got the first house upgrade too.
Pretty soon I’m going to marry Penny. I haven’t gotten a ton of progress with other townsfolk yet but I’d like to boost my relationship with Pam because I think she could use a friend if Penny moves out.
That’s actually why Mr T adopted his moniker.
I think about my father being called “boy”, my uncle being called “boy”, my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called “boy”. So I questioned myself: “What does a black man have to do before he’s given respect as a man?” So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody’s mouth is “Mr.”
They love Madison Square Garden. Every year for New Year’s Eve they play 4 shows there, plus they did a 13 show residency there in 2017 and a 7 show residency in 2023.
Yeah, everyone is saying Red Rocks but they haven’t even played there since 2009. They’ve played at Dicks 45 times since 2009 because they do 3-4 shows every Labor Day weekend.
I’m not sure why everyone is saying Red Rocks. Phish played three shows there in 2009 but they haven’t played there since.
The real answer is that every Labor Day weekend they play 3 to 4 shows at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park outside Denver (except in 2020 when the shows were cancelled).
RIP to a legend
For the last couple decades, Phil was an outspoken advocate for organ donations thanks to a donor named Cody who saved his life. Every concert he would ask people to consider becoming an organ donor. If you’re not already, think about it. As Phil said, you could “save the life of someone you’ll never meet”.
But we would eat Kraft Dinner
Of course we would, we’d just eat more
And buy really expensive ketchups with it
That’s right, all the fanciest-, Dijon ketchup, mm, mm
When you plug Sonic 3 into Sonic & Knuckles, that’s what Sonic 3 was intended to be. But they couldn’t finish it in time, so they split them into separate games. That’s why when you play Sonic 3 & Knuckles, you don’t just play Sonic 3 as Knuckles, you play through both Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles (as opposed to Sonic 2 where you only play through Sonic 2 levels as Knuckles).
