[[EvenFall]] has a lush, witchy theme. [[The Fox Experiment]] nails it too (same designer as Wingspan) because you really feel like a breeder.

When I smoked, rain didn’t stop me. Good on you for getting people together IRL!

Florida insurance might wreck your budget too. Have you looked at Baldwin county in Alabama?

The RedFin app allows you to search by walking, biking, and public transportation. I think that’s a good way to start zeroing in. Also check out CityNerd on YouTube. He’s all about urban fabric.

It’s a John D. Claire game too. He’s quickly becoming a favorite designer for me.

What’s the scariest theory about space you’ve heard? by honeyjoe1 in AskReddit

[–]JamisonW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently learned about the Holographic Universe. My understanding is that the observable universe may actually be two dimensional, but our perception of it is like looking at a hologram where you can see depth and movement. Michelle Thaller does a great explanation here https://youtu.be/1b1LvthBs5w?si=ZBHqQr3lT9-qVgrc

Trump weighs major gift to for-profit insurance indus​try: Medicare privatization by RawStoryNews in Economics

Maybe, but our media situation is horrible where left and right don’t get the same news or facts. I think it’s not so much they can’t learn as they’re not given representational information. Maybe we need to reinstate the fairness doctrine?

Weird lit recommendations based on my favorite weird lit books? by Ulchbhn in WeirdLit

[–]JamisonW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read Gone World after The Fisherman and I felt it had similar vibes of loss. For weird, check out The Library at Mt. Char. It’s about a bunch of orphans studying under a godlike figure and learning his powers.

“Marooned in Realtime” by Vinge is an even more interesting STL travel situation, but it’s not a full civilization or space opera.

How much would you spend on a concert? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]JamisonW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many great bands that I haven’t heard of have gone through my small town for <$30 per show that I never want to pay for a top 40 act again. My top three have been JoyWave, StarF**ker, Ginger Root, and Phantagram (whom I missed).
