I'm largely extrinsically motivated. I always have high hopes of 100%-ing games, but I find once all the quests are done, my enthusiasm for going out and wandering and finding the last things drops off precipitously. Even if I'm not following the storyline and have wandered off to explore, I still feel the need for some ultimate promise of more story to come.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as we anglophones say.

Funny because it's really quite the opposite in most places. You're legally required not to serve intoxicated patrons. If you overserve people and they go off and kill someone, you could be liable in my state. I think that's pretty bullshit but it surprises me that folks would argue to the exact opposite. Of course, why should that surprise me?

Oh, The Detectorists has such a special place in my heart. Really a one-of-a-kind show. The comedy is so good and you just love everyone (except Simon & Garfunkel of course). The pacing and the reverence for wild spaces and quiet is so meaningful. I think the casting was impeccable. Now I want to go watch it again!

I can always watch an episode of Psych. Probably seen the whole thing 4 times, with various episodes seen much more than that. Like a warm hug.

Seconding Transistor. Opened the world of indie games to me. Great gameplay, atmosphere/music/art direction, and I love the voice acting even if it's a bit sparse. "Hey, Red..."

Looks delicious! Love the vibrance of the green. Is it a broth-based curry? Is that fish in the center? I know nothing of Goan curries.
