love that Pacific Drive gives your station wagon a dome light that is seemingly useless except for being a target for weird quirks. no, genuinely, I love this about the game! It seems to have a real understanding of how living with an old, weird car can be, and put that in an exclusion zone.

had a quirk today where whenever I turned the windshield wipers off, the dome light would toggle. it also appeared to toggle for seemingly no reason when I was just sitting in the car with everything off, so I'm not sure I fully diagnosed whatever the problem is; the investigator unit still says there's a problem that's set off by the wipers doing something, but given what that unit does, it won't tell me anything more unless I spend more stable anchor juice.

i feel like buying multiple years of cohost plus does not necessarily solve the problem long term, because how many people that boost their subscription now will come back and boost it again next year

i wonder if the fastest thing short term would be a donation widget + tip jar, while working on eggbux or other solutions

absolutely this, honestly, though for their own ethical reasons* the donation widget should be tied to cohost plus and give an accurate count of what they need for the month

what I often call the "wikipedia model" can and does work. just be transparent about what you need! (and don't go using it for other things that make it more expensive, either...)

* cohost isn't a non-profit and can't take donations in the normal sense, taking multiple cohost pluses despite them having zero benefit to you is the "donation" option basically
