there's a NerdCubed quote I'm trying to track down that goes something like "a creative management game is a game where you manage something and you can be a little creative about it" and I have no idea whether it's possible to search captions

I hate this idea that in order to criticize something you have to have an alternative. like some things are just bad and replacing it misses the point that the entire category it fills is unethical and undesirable?

Exciting news! After years of work, my research paper has just been published. It shows that adding a layer of gravel at the bottom of a plant pot really DOES improve drainage. This exact scenario has never been directly tested before, in spite of a lot of myths and theories flying around.
The full research paper is open access: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0318716
There's also a slightly more reader-friendly summary and explanation of the research on my website: https://tradescantia.uk/article/drainage-layers/

Oh yeah stumbled across this banger forum thread about retro homebrew feeling very commercialized now (by someone I recognize from Fedi) while I was looking at emulator drama yesterday: https://forums.nesdev.org/viewtopic.php?t=24744

Do you ever search the Internet for an error message only to find out nobody else in the world has this problem because your teammate wrote the code that makes this error?
