@JohnPhilpin @manton Lovely, thank you both! TIL

@miljko And by “row” I meant “roll”. How do you edit replies, again, @manton?

@manton Love this. Doctorow has been on a row roll ever since Enshittification as the explainer of our time.

@JohnBrady Do tell what you made of it. It’s been on my radar since vol. 1 got translated to English but I thought there’ll be time for something like it if and when I retire.

@jtr Haha good, I thought I was losing my mind! I’ll update the link.

The last game I played for 100+ hours was another one without autosave that was quite punishing — Bloodborne — and I too made a bunch of extra saves I almost never ended up using but played more loosely knowing they were there.

@JimRain Thank you for that link. What a great channel: a 1990 interview with John Cleese next to an Oscar-winning costume designer next to a report from a local renaissance festival. I love public broadcasting!

@naheller I am having the same doubts. I could increase the visual field if I bring my Steam Deck up closer, but that would mean finally getting some reading glasses!

@tinyroofnail Thank you! I love the poem in turn :) And same as @JoohnBrady, Jim Harrison is now on my radar.

@manton Wow, Apple is really going for that MS iPod packaging feel in its app review. Glad you were able to hold the fort!

@BonnieRue Haha, exactly. Every winter we see the abandoned nests and realize they were there all the entire time. It was nice to see them occupied for once :)
