I have been concerned recently that despite my best efforts I am still too attached to the corporately owned internet.
The fact that I felt no impact from this was a nice treat to start my week.

I can understand that this hurts for the authors, as they often have little to no say in cover design, but I also am not sad for this decision. The publishers or whoever thought these were reasonable book covers deserve to be called out for this. The authors need to find better publishers, or the company needs to feel the backlash from this shit, otherwise they’ll keep doing it.
Who am I kidding, Rothwell keep doing it anyway.
The ability to reduce diseases and disorders in newborns sounds wonderful, until you find out which techno-fascist is behind the movement.
I mean, the game is in early access. They are asking $30 for a game that is not complete, and if early access is anything to go on, it may not be complete for a further 7 years.
It also has cosmetic DLC available already, taking the total cost so far for an early access game $40.
The game looks fun, but I don’t blame people for wanting a more complete product before shelling out what little money they have these days.
So the commonwealth govt offers to subsidise 45% of health projects, and is surprised when States start to fund health? Don’t make the officer if you are going to be butthurt when they take you up on it.
This feels like someone offering to pay for dinner, and then telling you not to order entrees, or the steak, and we can get dessert at maccas after, but I’ll pay for dinner don’t worry. No, we don’t want to hear about the market fish, we’ll both have tap water thanks.
This is just conservatives pulling the same “woke brands” shit they did with Gillette and Keurig. They will burn their hats, and then when it is no longer required of them to be performatively mad, they will buy a new hat and continue being crusty shitstains.
Hbomberguy talked about this 6 years ago, and it’s still relevant: https://youtu.be/06yy88tLWlg
Why is anyone asking Michelle Obama to run for president? I mean, I know the bar for presidential prerequisites is buried 6 feet down after Trump, but why do the democrats keep propping up women candidates based solely on the basis of “she is a woman that you know”?
True, but I feel like Blue Prince gets a lot of flack for its RNG, despite being part of the genre. I think it’s the lack of tangible upgrades between runs. Games like Binding of Isaac, Hades, or Balatro expand your arsenal between games with actual upgrades or perks. Blue Prince’s upgrades are pretty sparse, because what changes between runs is your knowledge of the house and the larger mysteries.
I felt like the game had enough puzzles running simultaneously that I wasn’t waiting for a particular day to work on one particular puzzle. Once everything started coming together and it was down to the final run, there was a little bit more reliance on RNG, but that’s rogue-likes. Any day that didn’t pay off in puzzles usually paid off in rolled over resources (freezer, moon pendant, trove, coat check).
I have seen a lot of complaints about the RNG in this game, but I never felt it, even on bad days.

One of my favourite characters to play was an elderly widow who followed the party because they looked like they needed someone to look after them. She knitted non-stop as they travelled, bundling the completed knit into large bags on her back. When they were attacked on the road, she unclasped the bags, letting the knitting fall to the ground. The knitted wool stirred, and then took the form of her deceased husband and son who fought on her behalf.
She was a reskinned Necromancer, and the wool-golems were reskinned zombies or skeletons. She knitted throughout the campaign, creating more summons, including a green wool owl familiar that draped around her neck like a scarf.
