How My Colonists Died in Rimworld, Ranked From Least To Most Depressing
1. Everyone is in the workshop, everyone has a project. The food is coming in nicely — our next winter shouldn’t be a problem. I imagine that this small colony is buzzing with energy. There are hardships and disagreements, sure, but this will be okay. I can see a solid arc of survival ahead of…

UncategorizedStrictoaster is one of my favorite YouTubers and this is my favorite video of his. It’s real Sunday watching—in it, he makes a highway connection as a tunnel, decides he hates it, and then redoes it as an overpass. Even edited down, this takes 40 minutes. His perfectionism is meditative. Enjoy.

Mr. Robot is one of my favorite tv shows right now and not just because of my overwhelming thirst for Rami Malek. It’s just got a serious point of view, and even if I’m not sure about the choices Sami Esmail makes, he makes them with an absolute sureness of footing. I was scrolling down…

A Postcard from No Man’s Sky
Nico, Hey boo! I just got your postcard and I’m so happy to hear from you. I miss you so much! You’re probably well aware that I love being alone. I mean, I think I’m pretty gregarious and outgoing, but nothing feels better than curling up in your ship with a good book, right? I’ve…

The Britney Spears iPhone Game Is Weirdly Depressing
Glu, the developers of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, have now teamed up with Britney Spears for what feels like a sequel to their smash hit. Way back in 2014 (I know, practically ancient history), I wrote an article about Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, because in a pre-Snapchat world, I felt that Kim needed a little defending. I…

How Tabletop Games Make My Life Better
When Saturnina Alers was being honest with herself she’d begrudgingly admit she didn’t particularly like Jacqui Green, but in the middle of a war she never got much time for self reflection. Under the service of Aria Joie, most of her days were in meetings, oiling the joints of old mechs, making sure people were…

Hello, Bitches
Love me or hate me, you’re all still talking about me. My name is Gita Jackson and I’ll be your guest editor for the weekend. That’s right, I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m in the middle of an existential crisis (wait, shit, I don’t think that’s how it goes). As far as what to expect,…
