    Adding to the list of easy to play together. I played through The Witness with a partner and we both enjoyed it.

    You should definitely make your own decisions, but the anecdata that I've seen from people in their 70s or older all suggests that they're happy to have made the change. Testosterone does makes changes over time, but the mental shifts from starting an antiandrogen and estrogen happy on a timescale of weeks or months and are quite worthwhile if your brain is inclined in that direction

    Our family collection is just over 600 books and we have a spreadsheet with the metadata we care about.

    I'm in a similar boat (ship?). I did a no revives playthrough a few months back which went surprisingly well all things considered.

    Celeste is fantastic. I think it's my #1 platformer of all time

    Also in the Sublime camp. I started using it ~15 years ago (where did time go?) and haven't had any reason to change.

    I don't have much personal experience, but it sounds like you've been unluckier than average. Is there good airflow where you're using the UPS? Could it be overheating?

    This struck me as absurd, so I went ahead and did some quick research. A direct train from Paris to Berlin leaving today at 19:12 is $141 USD according to rail europe and the only nonstop business class flight with seats currently available is $1729 USD (Air France 1534 departing at 17:40) via google flights.

    Given that it looks like it's much faster to fly than to train and the 10x cost difference, I'd argue that they're serving entirely different markets.

    My knowledge of european geography isn't robust enough to pick smaller city pairs this early in the morning, but the effect is so large, I don't feel bad disagreeing with your conclusion.

    I don't have strong opinions on the question at hand but I must say that incorrect consumption method #3 is truly deranged.

    It definitely requires a certain headspace. The lack of direction is great because it means that you can figure things out in any order, but it's also tricky since if you aren't in a mood to figure it all out, you're just out of luck.
