TuxCart is pretty good!

Cards With Cats is a solid Hearts game.

PySolFC is a slightly clunky but workable solitaire.

I love Lexica, a word game similar to Boggle.

Finally, CrossWords is a good scrabble clone, though I’ve had issues with network multiplayer buggering itself. Good for local play still.

Man, that sucks. I hope you get a solution soon.

I think for some folks there’s something primal going on, a feeling of being trapped when things are over their faces that they can’t shake. It seems like something deep-seated and unconscious, really hard to get past. I get that way if I can’t freely move my arms and legs while sleeping, but the face has never been so bad.

I wish I knew some advice I could give that would help people struggling but whenever food, sex, or sleep is involved, we’re still weird fleshy worm tubes twitching our way through a hostile world.

The scene where they’re all buried and poisoned while the den is torn apart and the rabbits are trapped, desperately trying to push nose-first past all the bodies clogging the dead-end passages… I had a lot of bad dreams from that one!

Seconded! I found out in my late twenties that I was waking up every three minutes, all night long. I used to sleep 10-18 hours a day if I could get the time, and was still exhausted.

I won’t even nap without my breathing machine now; the difference is shocking.

I am so glad to discover that Notley is still at it! I’ve added BtAF to my rss list, thank you for the post.
