I had a lot of fun memories with the bright color scheme for Burnout 3: Takedown. Plus the controls felt great, and weren’t compromised simply because I upgraded to a faster car.

Wreckfest (2018) is my most favorite recent game. It had a combination arcade and simulation feel, because the controls were simple and the graphics and driving experience felt exactly like driving an authentically frustratingly rusty old car ready to get crumpled again.

I like dogs that get to know me over years, and small dogs. Unfortunately I get few opportunities to do so authentically (many of them I got to know are deceased), as I don’t like to be approached by random dogs because I believe they are thinking I have food.

I didn’t like the fact that my old apartment allowed dogs (I refused to share the elevator with dogs, seclusion and dogs don’t go well together). But I always smiled whenever I got a frequent reply-all email from management about disciplining people whose dogs used the grass (or elevator, one time) as a toilet.

When I visit a new country I always take a look at what mildly iconic retro items it maintains that I don’t find back home, for example the KiHa 40 trains in rural Japan, or the old Citroen cars in France, or the BBC microcomputers in the UK, among others.

In Kyūshū I saw a supermarket have out a public rotary dial telephone. It was in a relatively new supermarket. The supermarket even published diagrams instructing people on how to use a rotary dial, right next to the phone, as well as a recently-printed label for taxi phone numbers on the phone itself, to demonstrate that these almost-obsolete devices still had utility in 2018.

Also, thank you for providing a safe space for neurodivergent folk to connect.

Some of my regular non ADHD medication, even if I can get the Adderall, the pharmacy told me it is in short supply. I don’t have the spoons to check the pharmacy every day for all my medication, and don’t get me started about insurance telling me they are not letting me get my medication (a very inexpensive med, not scheduled) a day early.

Thank you, again, for the swift work to keep Beehaw pleasant to read daily. I understand it is a minor annoyance, but in the long run, after learning what happened by some users from the two open instances mentioned, I have utmost confidence in feeling safe listening in with well-moderated instances like Beehaw.
