I too love PocketCasts and love what Mullenweg has done, but want to point out that Automattic bought PocketCasts from NPR - https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/16/22580023/automattic-pocket-casts-podcast-app-tumble-wordpress

Automattic themselves didn't/don't make PocketCasts.

Edit: Fixed type (lost > love)

I've been bouncing around through various games I've already bought directly or ended up owning due to buying bundles. Just finished Call of Juarez: Gunslinger and am trying to decide on what to get into next.

I decided a few years ago that I play games to have fun and if a game isn't fun, I don't play it. I don't have much time these days to dedicate gaming, so I want to enjoy the time I do.

I've had a few I've really enjoyed until I hit some really terrible game mechanic or even a boss encounter I can't get past. I'll usually give it a few days/tries, but I'll flat out just bail and uninstall a game if it is causing me too much stress.
