    Things That You Cannot Unsee

    I sometimes enjoy drinking a few glasses of wine and playing Rimworld. There’s something about a slight buzz that engages my creativity in a kind of sloppy mode.

    Diamond Plates and Abrasive Stuff

    This is going to be a bit meandering, but it’s because pretty much everything in this topic can be answered with “it depends.” It is in response to Line Infantry Commentator fusilier’s question at [stderr]
