Just remember,…

I’m Falling In Love With Long Video Games Again
I used to be really into the perfect “five-hour” game. These weren’t necessarily games that took five hours to complete, but it was always somewhere around that length of time that made it feel like the right amount of enjoyment without overstaying its welcome. I’m talking about games like the original Portal or even experiences…

Turns Out Even Our Brains Have Lag
Did you really press that button in time, or did your brain just think you did? Chances are your brain just thinks so and it’s just too stubborn to believe otherwise.

But you rarely hear about them making peace just shortly after calling each other bunches of **** with **** who should go **** with **** in the ****. And,…
