And they celebrated at the lemon party.

So was Eliza.

• Minecraft (A comfortable home away from home).

• Wii Sports (The one video game literally made for everyone).

• Bioshock (I may not play it again myself, but everyone should experience “Would you kindly” at least once in their lives).

• PlayStation Dreams (This one is kinda like wishing for infinite wishes).

• Bomberman Ultra (A stupidly fun couch-play game that my entire family has played together for more than 10+ years now. I have never NOT smiled when booting up this silly game).

And then the games I’d forever regret not saving for myself: SuperGlob (Arcade), Tempest (Arcade), Uncharted 4, Bayonetta, StarCraft, Resident Evil 4, Portal and Heavy Rain (A brutal punch in the gut that I loved dearly but never want to play again).

Starship was my first thought.

Depends on the festival, but in general, sure. If there are girls there (and they are not behind velvet ropes, barricades or up on stages), you probably have a chance of meeting them. Then what?

Regardless, the reason for going to a festival is to attend the festival itself and presumably have fun. Going only “to meet girls” is missing the point and setting yourself up for disappointment (and probably coming off a little creepy in the process). If you don’t like festivals, you can meet girls in far less expensive and noisy places, too.

Are they CarPlay enabled?

Apple Maps had a rough few months at its start, but it’s never let me down since — I’ve used it to drive across country (many times, many directions) and across town. Combined with CarPlay, it’s the only digital screen I’d ever want in my car’s dashboard.

Ads would destroy the only thing I’ve enjoyed about newer cars in decades.

You might have tried, but the company took all its products off the market for the last several weeks in anticipation of this announcement. You could use the trial, but you couldn’t purchase a new license.

ForgeJo has been a joy to use over the past few months for me. No regrets.

Phones may be a factor, but since this seems to be a uniquely North American problem, I’d look toward the vehicles themselves: People have always been distracted while walking, but hood heights have increased dramatically in recent years.

Ah. For those from the Before Times, Versions 1 through 6 were absolutely amazing. Version 7 included VC-inspired “improvements” that set off early-warning alarms, and Version 8 is the Stephen Miller of password managers.

There is currently an amazing amount of top-quality, open source, design and development software: Blender, Godot, Inkscape and Krita, for instance.

Is this a joke? 1Password’s switch from “lifetime license with local vaults” to “Fuck you/pay me subscription-based, cloud-only vaults” is the poster child for enshittified software. Version 8 is the main reason Bitwarden/KeepPass/VaultWarden are so popular now.

Almost four decades here (yes, before the Web), the best I could come up with was “‘Bout to find out.”

I mean, Christians eat soup, too.

It just comes from cans instead of waiters.

Bioshock, Portal and Wii Bowling.

It took me about five nights to get through Heavy Rain, and every night I went to bed feeling like I’d been punched repeatedly in the gut.

Fantastic game that I consider one of my all-time favorites… and I’d NEVER want to go through that again.

Carl Bloch, international ladies man.

Terminator 2 is probably the easiest answer.

Helter Skelter?
