I tried it, but on Mac the controls are so awkward that I found it unplayable. Maybe I'm missing something.

did everyone like the new episode of The Good Place? it made me even more excited about this season.
also i can’t be the only one who’s spent the last week playing the very charming Untitled Goose Game. i find it so relaxing and freeing to terrorize a small british town as a horrible goose.

- Logic Magazine http://logicmag.io/: tech publication, but self-aware. Two favorite articles have been the one on Mormon transhumanists and the honest take on China's social credit system.
- Off the Air https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skD7r0yWOG4: artistic, though clearly not always intended to be viewed sober. it's great for people that enjoy streaming slow TV videos in the background (or not being sober)
- SAINt JHN's newest album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDP-h_1Ok3I (chill hip hop): same lyrics every time but his voice is just too nice to care

The Cyberiad and The Futurological Congress are my two favs :~
Similarly excellent in the dept. of sci-fi short stories is Ted Chiang. Less humor though, but magnificent stories and concepts. Villeneuve's Arrival was based on his short 'Story of Your Life'

I've been enjoying a popular D&D podcast called The Adventure Zone. The latest campaign, which follows the truly weird stories of three almost ordinary people in West Virginia, concluded in a satisfying finale this week. I recommend the whole series as one of the best podcasts yet recorded.
Not to hijack the thread, but I haven't introduced myself. I'm Bradley. I'm a recent transplant from southern Maine to northern Virginia, along with my girlfriend and our cat. I work in Washington during the week and often enjoy a good podcast (see above) or tinkering with one or another open source project on the weekend. I'm also a licensed Private Pilot.

What’s some media you’ve been enjoying lately? Don’t worry if it’s mainstream or lowbrow or a guilty pleasure. Anything’s fine. What are you enjoying?
