Not too much of a rabbit hole, but it’s fun to waste some time on some small thing here and there. I find a lot of fun or weird stuff there and I love it.

Days of Future’s Past by the Moody Blues, the one with the London Symphony.

I haven’t done it in a long time, but I used to turn out all the lights and lay on the floor and listen to this album from start to finish, it’s so good.

I know it doesn’t really count - but I saw The Lion King the last time they toured before sticking to Broadway and man. I get really emotional with live music and cried through the whole thing, damn frission lol. Still, an utterly incredible performance and one that I would happily see again even if it meant going to NYC.

For an actual concert, gosh there are so many to choose from. But I saw Shawn James in a tiny little venue in Seattle where I stood on a balcony and watched the show from on high. I’ve never been one for psychedelic music and his definitely isn’t that, but there were a few times where the energy in the room and the music and the atmosphere was absolutely transcendent in a way I can only describe as psychedelic. Truly incredible.

I’m so jealous of your Ghost concert. I had been following those guys since 2014 or so and loved everything about their music. I tried so hard to go to concerts but nothing ever lined up.

Finally saw them last year, but it was a huge venue and seats were $$$ so I couldn’t get very close. Still, love their music.

Didn’t read the article, but my partner and I went on a Caribbean cruise in 2022 ish. Generally, it was fine. We had a good time.

But personally I would never do that again. I hate crowds and it was super crowded, I’m shy and awkward and didn’t try to meet anyone new, and I just felt weird on the land excursions where the locals seemed like they hated their jobs but it was the best industry for them to feed their families.

I will say the restaurants on board were phenomenal (but not included in the price point), and the shows were fun. But the best time I had was just spent on my balcony, watching the world go by.

I’d say probably 22-24. I’d prefer a little older for sure, but at age 25-26 a disease I didn’t know I had got much much worse and has effectively robbed me of half my life. So a little younger for me.

Atlantis is a little silly, but in a campy way that never takes itself too seriously. SG-1 does a better job at keeping the tone pretty serious throughout, but with comedic intervals whereas Atlantis definitely tries for more humor. Both are really good though.

I loved the one about the staircases. I grew up exploring the woods and you find some really bizarre things in places you’d never think, so it always seemed fairly plausible to me in some way. I mean I’ve found an empty and fairly new coca cola vending machine miles deep into some hilly woods, just sitting there like it had apparated there.

I actually want them to step away from 5e/DnD in general. I loved DOS2, but I agree with another commenter that the vast swaths of elements made things challenging in a frustrating way at times. Not that that shouldn’t be a tactic to be used, but it definitely was egregious in DOS2.

5E is just… A fuckin mess when it comes to balancing the game - said as a long time DM and player. There are so many things that just irritate the heck out of me with the system that can’t necessarily be balanced with a video game slapped overtop of it. (Not to say Larian didn’t do a good job with what they were given, but still)

That being said, I am a total fanboy of Pathfinder 2e and the way things are balanced there, and I would love love love to see a CRPG under those rules. Especially if it was Larian-levels.

I moved from Utah to Washington State and while I do definitely miss the snow, I don’t miss the cold.

What I find I miss the most is the sun. Seasonal depression is an utter bitch and I become a total homebody if there’s no sun to bring me out of my den.

I finally watched it after hearing good things and wow, yep. Incredibly mediocre, cashing in on nostalgia.

I did enjoy the music, though, but probably mostly because of nostalgia and my love for NES/SNES Mario games.

TTRPGs! I’m currently playing in 3-4 games a week, GMing two of those. It’s definitely my escapism as well, but at least it’s fun

Freecell for me :B

Seconding Tabliss. It’s gorgeous and totally customizable

What is your favorite season?

When I was a kid, I was in band class. We were having an end of the year big concert and my parents were coming for once. I was first chair and had a fun part in one of our songs so I was really excited to get to play for them for once.

Because of my excitement and my being just a kid, I was bouncing around and the neck strap for my saxophone broke. I played tenor and there was no way my little hands could hold that thing up for a whole concert, so I was pretty much booted from the concert last minute. It broke my damn heart. Even thinking about it now makes me teary. All that hope just quashed because of some dumb mistake.

Good news is that the band director did me a solid and let me walk out with my case to rest my sax on beside my chair, but the damage had already been done.

Welcome. To. Zombocom. Zombocom welcomes you.

I think I’d like to have a chat with Teddy Roosevelt. Nothing political in nature, I just want to hear his stories and what it was like seeing Yosemite way back when.

If not Roosevelt, then maybe an ancient Greek philosopher. Socrates or Plato maybe.

It’s interesting how experiences can vary. I just returned it because I wasn’t enjoying it, which was a shame because it looks great.

What makes it fun for you?
