    Thank you for sharing this, I didn't get into Star Trek until a few years after this controversy so I hadnt heard about it. That's a pretty wild story!

    Gage park greenhouse is lovely, especially in the winter! I adore those tiny little quail they have living in there.

    Sorry to hear that your family is going through a difficult time. Hopefully these games can offer some distraction for your group.

    • Pizza Possum : Play as a criminal opposum whose mission is to break into the Corgi King's castle and swipe his royal pizza. Scramble around town, gobbling up as much food as you can and dodging the patrolling guard dogs. Hectic and funny, especially in co-op

    • Little Kitty Big City : an indoor cat accidentally winds up far from home and must navigate a busy city neighbourhood to return. Very cute style, more laid back pace.

    • RailBound : A cute puzzle game, in this one you set train tracks on a grid to build paths for the trains. The train conductors are cartoon dogs, which I consider an important feature. One of them has a mustache

    Honorable mentions: Portal & Portal 2, Crypt Custodian, Monster Sanctuary, A Short Hike, Alba Wildlife Adventure

    Yeah I also suspect space blindness is a thing for ADHD. I have a hard time remembering directions/routes unless it's in a place where I'm already very familiar. I can't picture the map in my head to render it by. I kind of wonder if it might be related to how ADHD affects working memory?

    I was gonna say crunchy chickpeas could be a good switch since nuts are no-go. There's lots of options in terms of how to prepare them so you can decide how much sugar or salt is in there. I do...

    I was gonna say crunchy chickpeas could be a good switch since nuts are no-go. There's lots of options in terms of how to prepare them so you can decide how much sugar or salt is in there. I do mine with olive oil, garlic, and a little salt. meanwhile my dad makes his super spicy

    The hand warmers did leave me thinking about going all the way and getting some heated gloves. Do you have any recommendations?

    This is the model I purchased. So far I am very satisfied with the warmth, ergonomics and battery life of the devices. One feature I think it's missing is some kind of timed shutoff. I keep forgetting to turn them off which can lead to wasted battery life.

    Aw, scifi speculation isn't always pointless. I think it can serve to encourage people to think more deeply about issues like what you describe
