I thought the first Strike Vector was fun, but between being on an aging laptop and connecting to American servers in Japan, playing the game was pretty impossible for me, and by the time I got back stateside the servers were dead.
This one being on console only totally kills it for me, so that's a bummer.
I'm pretty sure its just an updated version of the first game?
I would like to play an updated version of the first game.
I wasssss gonna end the post with that, but I post entirely too much about my unhealthy lifestyle/drinking habits and didn't want people to actually read into it.

boy howdy did honey I shrunk the kids send a young tdot down a dark path
Is that when you discovered giantesses and vore
Nah, just really wanted to form an emotional connection to an ant, something reality can never really deliver on. He had mostly come to terms with it until Ant-Man ripped that scab right off.
I thought about hoverboards when I was a kid, and now they're everywhere.
Those things are nothing like the hoverboards we thought about as children, they are dirty misbranded liars and also most of them are electrical fires waiting to happen.

Meundies are expensive
with a 25% off podcast code you could spend $72 for a 6 pack, or $112.5 for a 10 pack.
Hard to justify when you can get a 6 pack of regular underwear for $12

They're the most comfortable underpants I've ever worn, I have no regrets.

See, my thing is, my current underwear isn't uncomfortable, so the "additional comfort" factor just doesn't seem to outweigh the cost.
I'd just be worried that the Meundies are so comfortable that I wouldn't be able to go back to normal undies and I'd end up in the poor house with a comfy butt and tackle.

throw off the shackles of big underwear, my friends
How many pairs of underwear do you really need though?
I'm not doing laundry more than once a week, so a bare minimum of 8.
If I'd had mine longer and was more sure of their longevity, I'd say that replacing all your underwear one pair at a time would be easily worth it in the long run.
Anyone got any good science podcast recommendations?
Taking a course this semester on teaching science to elementary students and its kinda rekindle my interest in scientific learning, and figure podcasts could be a fun way to fit more science into my day.
Generally speaking I'm interested more in fact oriented shows than personality driven shows.
Inquisitor Like hardcore science, or just interesting science center stories?
Ever listen to Radiolab?
Either could be interesting!
I have not listened to Radiolab and so on the list it goes, thanks!
So far the only Science podcast I've checked out myself is The Naked Scientists, which seemed relatively fact oriented. Listened to their episode on coffee and how it interacts with chemicals in the brain. I think the most interesting bit I learned is that how fast coffee is broken down by the liver is heavily determined by genetics, which explains why some folks can't have coffee without being jittery for the rest of the day and why I've always been able to have a cup of coffee and go to bed an hour later.
There's this very fun podcast that the ladyfriend introduced me to, called Switched on Pop. It's hosted by two musical theory wonks who enthusiastically dissect elements of pop music, and talk about all the things that can go into a good pop song.
It's really cool! If you already like a song, you might learn about a new element of it and deepen your appreciation for it. If it's about a song you hate, it's kinda cool to hear about the good parts of it in a more specific/clinical way, and maybe appreciate what other people see in it (even if your opinion of the song doesn't change). And learning about new music terminology is pretty neat, since I don't have any musical training but listen to a butt-ton of music.
An episode I just listened to was about modulation. I'd just always called it a "key change," so learning a bit more about what it actually is, and how it's implemented, was appreciated. Talked about some of the different ways it can be used (to show off, or to heighten emotional stakes, or to reflect some content of the lyrics, or all of the above), with plenty of examples.
I guess the closest point of comparison would be Song Exploder. But it's simultaneously broader (by dealing with more than one song at a time) and more specific (since it pushes in really close on one element of those multiple songs). It's also a little more focused, a little less likely to be hijacked by an interviewee who doesn't really get the point of the enterprise (or who isn't particularly communicative), a little more consistent from week to week. Just two fun music nerds having fun with hyper-specific music conversations. A very good time.

Science Friday, the podcast version of the NPR show, is pretty good. First half is science news, second half is in-depth stories about science. Either deeper explorations of a topic, or interviews with sciencers, or conversations about a sci-fi book/movie.

That was a very good movie. And renting it was actually affordable rather than 70 dollar undies or 750 dollar mattresses or whatever.
At least I only need to go to the post office like once a year
But every Sunday, 4 AM, ugh, honey wake up, it's time to go mattress shopping.

Strike Vector was REALLY rough when it first debuted in early access
but I should totally check this out in the year of our lord, 2016

There are really very few podcasts in that vein because in general if someone wants that they can just read it
I would argue even hardcore history is at least partially personality based
Straight fact podcasts with no personality don't seem to be much of a thing, there's just not a ton of inventive to make them
Ever listen to Radiolab?
I've listened to a few different straight fact podcasts over the years, they tended to be focused on specific historical topics, however.
History of Rome, The History of WW2, and the like.
In Our Time covers science, history and culture.

I remember being a kid way too young to have any kind of sexual attraction to anything
And feeling a weird inexplicable thrill during the shrinking scenes in those movies
