My wife and I weren't sure what to expect. We took one run at it, failed, then a few months later took another run. We are now thinking we need to watch it again. Truly wholesome.

I'm on my fourth watch of Gilmore girls. Third with my wife. First with my daughter.

Absolutely brilliant TV.

I think there is a lot of wisdom here. I'm old, many of my meaningful relationships were formed before three was an internet. Now I use online tools to stay in touch with friends who are friends I have interacted with face-to-face, not people know solely online.

That's not to say meaningful relationships cannot be owned online. I have met a number of people IRL who I originally met playing Football Manager or on XBox Live.

But online relationships are not a substitute for real face-to-face interactions.

I tell people that making friends needs to be intentional. It takes work and commitment.

She knows she is in the minority.

I am just sad she's missing out.

Witcher 3 is my number 1 game of all time. My wife won't play it because she hates Geralt's voice.

We're playing on XBox Series X, and it behaves reasonably well. We typically split-screen while exploring, and merge the screens during battles.

When playing Divinity:Original Sin 2 we remained in merged screens 90% of the time, but for some reason it feels off in BG3, so we go with the merge only in battles.

Very very, heartbreakingly poor. When we first got to Kentucky was blown away by the number of "coal it keeps the lights on" license plates.

My wife hits 30 years in six years. Kentucky is high on my list of places for us to retire to.

When my wife PCSed from Long Island to Fort Knox we made several trips where we passed through West Virginia and I was always blown away at how gorgeous it is.
