You should definitely play both Crusader Kings and Dwarf Fortress - the feeling that you get when you read it: "Hah, it feels like in real life but damn it's crazy" Is true for gameplay of both games in general. When things are simulated with enough details, stories appear!

I do that all the time. A thing is a thing, and it can be your thing now. I only try to ask myself two things:

  1. Do I really need that?
  2. Is it in a good condition? I have a lot of used stuff at home, so if I took something half-broken, it would look like a dumpster already.

Sidenote: I live in Denmark, where people overconsume, and then get rid of stuff which is still in good condition.

"Fools bridge" from Saint-Petersburg saying hi!
It's just below the height of the most popular small truck, Gazelle - despite the poster saying: "It's low, Gazelle doesn't fit" (in addition to a normal sign), drivers keep checking that.

We (30-40yo guys) just played soccer, and there were too few of us. So we invited some kids who were hanging around on the fields. Well, fuck...
(The ball flies away)
Kid: I'll bring it back! (sprints after the ball like I'm not sprinting during the attack, then proceeds to run like that for the next hour)
We were only better like a pickup truck is better when it collides with a motorcycle

Could be a "You can't let John down now, we're old pals, and a few people expect the site to work by the end of the week. He just needs a site like Facebook, but for gardeners"

Google Reader shutdown has completely changed the way I was ingesting information. It was so convenient, I always had 2-3 days worth of articles, web comics and news for reading.
Another problem was that many sites shifted to providing only parts of articles instead of full versions, and it was still the time when I wasn't always online to finish reading.

We're maintaining and developing OpenVMS OS, and both we and our customers need Cobol, Fortran, and other half-dead languages coders.
Many large companies maintain their old systems and use them for production or data processing purposes. Sometimes it's too expensive to migrate off, but im many cases "it just works"

Yeah, and border collies or huskies would also be like: "Running! Yeah!"
