I tried picking it up a few times and tried playing conventionally and felt like it was basically a snoozefest, break down a handful of rocks and stumps and faint in the field lol. Similar kind of road block. The time and the energy stirs up a little anxiety in me, trying to be efficient and stuff.

But then, I tried playing again, ignored the crops, and just went off fishing and exploring the caves, and fell into a hole.

it might still not be the game for you, but if you pick it up again, a no-crop playthrough might be far more engaging

Caloric stimulus is fun too, syringe of ice water in one ear and the pressure difference = mega drunk spins for 2 minutes

John’s Hopkins also discovered Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence when resolution of CT scans became high enough to detect fine cracks in bone around the tegmen and all that. SCD also worth a read. Sound doesn’t properly dissipate and instead triggers the cells in the canals leading to sound-induced vertigo and supranormal low frequency hearing (being able to hear your eyeballs scratching against your eyelids etc). Before CT scans got good people got misdiagnosed with all sorts of anxiety type disorders

The thing about that is that it’d require cohesion and unity across all Republicans, and it seems like Trump himself is the only one seemingly able to pull this off.

The Whigs tore themselves apart in similar manner and all it’d take is a third of Republicans to back some group of MAGA (or rebranded) politicians who decide to stay on the ballot as third party. There are already multiple factions under the ‘R’ namesake and it’d just take a little pull in opposite directions. They’re a stubborn bunch

I know. Will they work together or back an outsider of a presumptive nominee such as MTG? Or will they all just duke it out while a more mainstream Republican capitalizes on the dysfunction? We’ll find out soon enough

There’s no apparent successor and there hasn’t been any attempt by Trump to nudge anyone towards that (he doesn’t give a shit about a post-Trump lanscape), but a half dozen people would attempt to claim it as their own, so if MAGA does survive it’d probably be really messy for a while.

Normally we use conventions for this kind of thing but they’d be competing against traditional Republicans in that space, so I’m expecting to see MGT and DJT and Boebert and a bunch of others just try to pull each other’s hair out, like an obscenely wealthy grandparent that had no will and no clear next of kin.

The heirarchal structure is basically Donald so the risk of the entire collective decapitating itself is pretty high
