  • Depends on where you are. Houston? Good luck lol. But NYC, DC, Portland, Seattle, and others are fine for walking in the city. The problem is either weather (DC is fucking miserable to walk in in the summer 30+°C and 100% humidity) or you hit a point outside the city where it turns to stroads. Also if you aren’t used to walking much it’ll wreck you.

    A trip to DC when I was a young adult changed my view on urbanism and my own health by making me walk and take the train everywhere and demonstrating how out of shape I was














  • I’ve tried to get back into binding of Isaac. I love it still, but I can’t get into it like I once did. I spent probably a solid 3-4 years playing little but it and civ, and it’s not like I wasn’t gaming much, I was a shut in using rounds of boi as my reward for steps in homework. I’d say at least 600 of my logged hours were already playing it.

    I think it’s largely that I’ve fallen out of it and already passed my skill peak but still know enough to not be excited to find new things. 11 years ago I was 20, disassociating, single, and didn’t really have any friends in college yet. I had all the reflexes I’d ever have, the most free time until retirement outside unemployment (and even then, I exercise, socialize, and spend a lot of time with my wife even when unemployed now), and the energy to throw myself deep into a game that I could just lose myself in. These days gaming is a few competitive hours after work or a Saturday.
