Looking for recommendations: I'm hopefully getting a working XBOX DVD drive this week and I'm wanting to play some games on there. Any hidden gems I should try?

the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

First round of Bricklink full sets, and not too bad! Onewa still needs his back, and there are almost no weapons, but I have one more shipment to get 👍 Thanks to BaerBricks2Go, Brickitty, and TheCornerstone for the pieces!

Don't know how this sort of thing ends up in Northwest Missouri, but found a Japanese VCD of one of my favorite Ghibli movies, 'Castle in the Sky' at a thrift store! Seriously, HOW DID THIS GET HERE?!? WHO DONATED THIS?!?

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.
