It was my character name in my first MMO, the English beta for MapleStory back over 20 years ago, and I’ve been using it ever since. I picked it since it was close to Mithril, from Lord of the Rings.

Well, fish doesn’t really have a scientific meaning… https://youtu.be/uhwcEvMJz1Y

Mass Effect Andromeda. I loved the original trilogy, even the third one, and I was hopeful that they’d live up to what they were promising. Instead, we got a garbage game that completely tossed the idea of exploring a new galaxy. I tried to play it 3 different times, just to give it a chance, and I couldn’t go through with it.

One of my cats periodically likes to stick his head through the window blinds at 2 in the morning to look outside. When he does that he makes these terrible choking noises, which causes me, if I’m awake to hear it, to run out and check on him. At that point, he’ll pull his head out and look at me like I’m the idiot for being worried about him…

Raw spinach is great, I can just eat handfuls of that all day. Cooked spinach is gross, both in flavor and texture.

A fire extinguisher. I’m glad I’ve never had to use it so far…

Calibre Companion, on android. For years it was the best way to sync books between my calibre install on my computer and my phone, even after the developer abandoned it. Then a while back, the dev released a single update that broke the app’s integration with reader apps, then disappeared again. I rolled that back extremely quickly, by grabbing an older version from my old phone.

Sluggy Freelance is a classic; it’s one of the oldest, longest running ones out there.

I’m a big fan of my Lifestraw pitcher! It’s got a great filter.

“Late?”
“Yes, late, as in the late Dentarthurdent.”

I played PlateUp. I guess I’m doomed to continually start a restaurant, only for it to fail as soon as one single person is unsatisfied.

I miss a few communities, mostly the creative writing ones. R/hfy and r/fanfiction, mainly.

Sluggy Freelance is one of the longest running webcomics in the world, and I think it is the longest running one where the author makes a living from it.
