When your gas range flames turn orange and your house has a baby, they are probably having a cold. Why? Ultrasonic humidifiers.

∞ How Bad North Makes Humans Out of Little Soldiers
Oskar Stålberg says in The Mechanic,
The units should feel like humans. They’re quite stylised; they don’t have faces and barely have arms, but they should feel human in their behaviour and what they’re capable of doing. They should feel fragile and it should look like fighting is a courageous effort.
A great article by Alex Wiltshire, covering the most beautiful game Bad North.

∞ No More Oppatoo
Allen Pike writes,
They are constantly picking up new endearing habits – little phrases and behaviors that melt your heart and give you joy. Just as quickly though, they are losing them. Before your eyes, she goes from not being able to say “octopus”, to delightfully squealing at the sight of an “oppatoo!”, to just saying “look dada, it’s an octopus.”
And it’s beautiful, and it’s great. But it also hurts your heart a little bit. No more oppatoo.
It is a strange feeling, that hurt. Why would it be sad when she starts to say “octopus”? Or “I want to do it myself”, or “No dada pick me up”? I mean, it’s certainly for the best. I can hardly be her lifelong transportation, caregiver, and translator as it pertains to 8-limbed mollusks.
Mine is only 5 month old, I can already start seeing this. She learned to blow a raspberry a month ago. Then she stopped doing that and it hurts a little. How time flies.
Thanks, Allen.
