I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money.
Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

Here's what they don't tell you about woodpecker tongues:
Some of them are barbed (pileated & downy 'peckers) to allow them to spear insects. The barbs are keratinized, so *hard*.

More important than asking whether games are art, is asking what riches do we gain when we start treating them as such: as works that we can challenge ourselves to learn from or engage deeply with.
"Games like 'Pokopia' help us at least think through the possibility of 'dying well' in an age of ever-looming nuclear disaster and environmental collapse."

DYLAN: Hey, uh, Zoe? I found a bathroom, but it says it's "temporally" out of order, not "temporarily". Should I be concerned?
ZOE: Ah, shit. The Temporal Restroom must've escaped when the lockdown fell. I'll send a team
DYLAN: Looks like you might've already sent them, there's dead agents here too.
Ran into two aliens from The Outer Wilds on the subway. Took me a minute to realize what they were. If you’re one of these people and you’re on this website I think you’re cool as hell
found this guy on Tiktok who has discovered carpenter's speed squares make an insanely satisfying noise when you bounce them off tires or wood, called @lostcoastedc on there
