Reddit's kindly pointed out that 12,000 weather balloons are launched a year and that this happens fairly often. So I'm left wondering how much of this is bored media hype and how much is true.

I'd also recommend getting an external HD for it if you wind up downloading/purchasing a lot of games. I've had to get external drives for just about all my systems except the Switch.
Got back to school so my gaming time dropped off considerably.
What sizes externals do. you use? (And what brand?) At the rate I'm currently buying games, I'm not too worried about eating up my space, though my wife really wants the 75GB Hogwarts Legacy game.
A lot of folks are trying to talk me into PS+, but I've purchased exactly two games since opening the PS5 box in November.
(I imagine this thread will get lively again in May.)

I really want this to spiral into a Roswell situation rather than a Bay of Pigs one. That aside, I do secretly kind of love the classic cold war vibe of all the international news recently. (Tank war in Ukraine, Banana republic revolution in Brazil, etc.)

Reading & Writing / Re: What You're Reading

It's TMI and it's attention whoring on a level I've never encountered before. He'll have long rants about journalists he hates and, instead of having a legit reason to hate them, he'll go on and on about the use of serial commas, and insult their writing and their families. Like a petty little spoiled brat.
