Shortly after the Reddit API debacle three years ago and the ensuing little exodus of users from there to here some guy created an Advice Wanted post asking for dietary advice for a circumstance where he couldn't poop for three days. He was using very vague language, he was refusing to specify exactly why he couldn't poop, and he was refusing to specify exactly what he was doing for those three days. When pressed about it he said he would technically perhaps be able to poop if he really had to, but it would be much better for everyone involved if he didn't and he would really like to avoid it.

Obviously replies kept flooding in, both befuddlement, genuine advice as well as rampant speculation about what kind of activity he was to be engaging in. It also took over the meme communities for a good while, and I think it was still the most upvoted post of all time here when he deleted it (and his account).

    I've heard so much good about this game it's actually a problem. Mantra time, I guess.

    Play unplayed games you own before buying more games.

    Wait for a sale.

    I do also love autumn, but over here that part of the season is over. September-October is the gorgeous and lovely part, now we're in the bleakness of November. The trees are done changing color, they're already almost all bare.

    Yeah, I feel that. I think Darkwood really benefits from the semi-permadeath of Hard mode to keep the tension and fear up (even though I was too much of a wuss to go through with that). But even without the atmosphere was just so unsettling.

    Stumbled upon this randomly today and thought it was surprisingly good, especially for the subscriber count. Particularly the bit about the inherent problem of save scumming in stealth games is something I've thought about writing about myself, but I guess someone else got there first, as this is pretty much an exact mirror of my thoughts.

     

    The Royal Spanish Football Federation is finalising an agreement with a fertility clinic that will allow members of the national team to undergo egg vitrification. The deal is expected to be announced this month, while the federation is still negotiating the precise terms and costs.

    The initiative reflects a dilemma that is gaining attention in elite women’s sport. A footballer’s career can extend into her thirties, but pregnancy can mean months away from training and competition, and returning to the highest level after childbirth can be difficult.

    Alexia Putellas, Spain’s former captain and one of the most decorated players in the history of women’s football, said the national team captains had raised the issue with the federation. She welcomed the agreement as “a huge step forward”.
