For about 1 year my two sons and I played Rock Band, mostly The Beatles, everyday when they came home from school. At least an hour each day. We played other versions of Rock Band, but the Beatles was easily our favorite.

It directly led one of them to learn the piano and eventually get a master’s degree in composing, and the other to enjoy playing in bands and performing in musical theatre.

I’ve probably played through it 5 times, using different skill trees.

I’ve sent you the key for ABZU. Thanks for the heads-up about RandomActsOfGaming, I will post there from now on!

The vast majority of these were obtained as part of a bundle. Humble Bundle since 2010, BundleStar (now Fanatical) since 2013, IndieGala, probably other charity bundles. There might be 10-15 games in bundle, of which I want only a couple, and also many duplicates across bundles.

Can you give me an idea of what kind of games you like? Or you could look them up on Steam to get a better idea.

You now have a 911 Operator key. Ho ho ho!

This is a really good idea. I have over 1,000 extra Steam keys. I will try to post some each day and randomly choose recipients (only one per customer each day!):

• [140] GONE 🎅
• [112 Operator] GONE 🎅
• 200% Mixed Juice
• 2064: Read Only Memories
• 2Dark
• 35mm
• 7 Grand Steps: What Ancients Begat
• [911 Operator] GONE 🎅
• ABC Coloring Town
• Abyss Odyssey
• [Abzu] GONE 🎅
• Adventure in the Tower of Flight
• Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders
• Agent in Depth
• AI War: Fleet Command
• Air Guardians
• [Alchemist’s Castle] GONE 🎅
• Alchemy Garden
• Alien Breed

That’s a good start!

I’ve been using this for about 3 months. I would estimate that my dog walks are now about twice as long as they used to be. I don’t really enjoy walking, but this gives me just enough incentive to do it everyday and, if I feel like taking a shortcut, taking the long way instead.

I’ve been making a spreadsheet of my unused keys from humble bundles going right back to the very beginning. There are over a thousand of them.

To be honest, I’m not entirely sure what to do. Give them way to friends and family?

I have a Bip as well, and aside from the silly name I love it. Even after 5 years a single charge lasts more than a month.

It tracks my sleep and steps, and is always on (other smartwatches turn the display off to save the battery).

It doesn’t do all the fanciest things. I can’t answer phone calls or send text messages (it will display received messages), but the advantages far away the drawbacks.

I agree. The section on web browsers mentioned that Nicola Pellow joined a team of 19 developers at CERN. It doesn’t say that she was the only woman on the team, but since she was singled out that is the way I interpreted it.

It’s a bit hard to say that web browsers would not have existed if one out of 20 team members was not there.

Original pong, at the Toronto international boat Show, probably in about 1977.

The solution is not for you to show contempt or lack of empathy to these people, it’s for them and you to demand better treatment from the owners and executives.

The system is fucked and it is skewed wildly against anyone who is not at the top.
