Parthenogenesis - egg just becomes embryo, no male required

Jurassic Park - one individual turned from female to male and started making babies

This is my favorite stupid review from a local bookstore:

I read all the one star reviews. If they are all something akin to “my food was too colorful” or “the waitress didn’t refill my water enough” then it’s probably ok

I think a second factor is a lowered expectation of immersion that comes with playing elsewhere. The author specifically says they can play in the pub waiting for friends or on the train or whatever. You’re not as invested in those situations, so a game is more of a distraction than an experience.

I have been saying “Press ‘Y’ to be a weenie” for as long as I can remember

This worked ok. I read through the summary in under a minute.

I would say that the article I linked in another comment was definitely a better read, though.

For those like me, I’m trying this: https://gamerant.com/simcity-franchise-history-2013-new-game-when-maxis-sims/

Thoroughly interested in this. But why can’t I just read it? I wish this wasn’t a video.

StarCraft 2. I have too much to think about in real life so I need something that forces me to devote 100% of my attention to it. I don’t particularly care if I lose so I can just queue again and again and come out with my brain reset.
