Did this all the time as a kid. … And as an adult, sort of. I have a recipe for a chilled corn and edamame salad with a soy sauce/sesame dressing. I make it with frozen veggies and sometimes if I’m feeling impatient I’ll eat it without fully thawing them.

Funny story: I used to work for a company that Elon didn’t pay his bill to. The tool fell under the department that was also responsible for content moderation, so I imagine he figured their tools were just blockers to free speech. But this tool was actually used to make sure ads weren’t being purchased with stolen credit cards.

It doesn’t take a genius to understand the concept of due diligence or that cutting costs can also cut your revenue stream… but hey, whatever floats your boat!

Arguing with walruses: for when you literally want to die on that hill.

I loved Death Stranding – it’s weird, beautiful, and the soundtrack is incredible (RIP Low Roar) but it’s kind of an acquired taste and you have to be cool with the “hiking simulator” aspect.

I LOVE Hollow Knight. It’s one of those games I wish I could erase from my mind and play from scratch again. As someone relatively new to gaming (when I started playing), it was infuriatingly hard at times. But it definitely made me a better gamer – probably moreso than any other game I’ve played.

My advice would be to definitely pick it up and give it a try. Don’t be too intimidated. The music and art are gorgeous and it’s an absolute blast once you get into it! And if you get frustrated, take a break and come back a little while later. I had so many occasions when I immediately succeeded after a 30-45 minute break.

Also: I agree with what everyone says about not looking stuff up unless you have to. Spoilers make the exploration aspect way less fun and exploring is one of the best parts.
