In a lot of countries (Northern Hemisphere) Summer is the holiday season, but that has never been my experience in the US. So it might not be as strange from that perspective.

These are so cool looking!

So small!! Look at them go

Oh no! I had no idea they like these. We’ve got squirrels everywhere, but thankfully they’ve left our stuff alone.

That’s really inspirational, thank you!!

It is!! Good eye! I’ve heard you can make tea with it, but was too nervous to try lol. We planted it along with some other native pollinators to help the ecosystem. (Even if it’s insignificant)

Gorgeous!!

This was done in some town in California I think a few years ago. It actually did slow traffic and caused drivers to pay more attention. Overall though the area wasn’t happy with it and they reverted it. I think in that case, though, the municipality just changed it overnight without warning or consultation.

I’ve had FedEx deliver my package to a vacant neighborhood home. By the time I went to get the package, it was gone. FedEx did a “thorough” investigation and found that they delivered it correctly. I appealed and never got my money back.

Plus one for Invisible, Inc. It’s like XCOM but spies. Such a great game from an awesome developer. One of many of their games that I’ve got every stream achievement for.

As a lover of RTS games, I am cautiously excited. A friend and I were talking the other day and we came to a realization that might sound mundane. Some of the things we miss about older games (specifically RTS) is that balance is so much more important now that a lot of the time, character and uniqueness get lost. If things aren’t as close to perfectly balanced as possible, gamers get real angry. There were some truly unbalanced RTS games that were incredibly fun. Battle for Middle Earth had some great mechanics that were incredibly fun, but I don’t many would say those games were balanced lol

I audibly responded positively to this post. That just looks and sounds divine.
