I have been playing Evoland Legendary Edition. The 2 games bundled are surprisingly dissimilar, with the first being almost a parody game of extremely short length, and the second being a fairly fleshed-out, 20 hour RPG-lite, with a story of real stakes (highly inspired by Chrono Trigger).

Very worth it if picked up on sale, just be prepared for the tone-whiplash between games.

It…seems like there may be some issues with the repo…

The whole “Alt-Right Playbook” series is worth watching, IMO

That’s a fair point. I’ve always assumed it was a form of rate-limiting, but you’re right, that’ll be part of their analytics at least

Oh, whoops! I didn’t notice its timestamp when I read it 😅

I don’t hate YAML, but it has the same issues languages like PHP and JS introduce…there are unexpected corner cases that only exist because the designer wanted the language to be “friendly”

For what it’s worth, I did my best to “fine-tooth comb” through the settings, and nothing else looked obviously out of place

Sort-of PS3 Shadow of the Colossus, but the physics engine gives me heart palpitations. Wondering if I should switch to the remaster someday, if that improves anything…

Also, Daemon X Machina on PC, which is fun, but also too story-lite for my preferences.

Obviously bad form, but anyone wanna bet it’s something still to do with Crowdstrike on some of the relevant processing servers?

I want to add to this. I’m not a psychologist, but I have heard a couple times about the term “third place”. It’s this concept that most people have a “place where they live”, a “place where they work”, and then a “place where they socialize”. It has been theorized that the modern working-age population is having trouble with stress and mental health in large part due to the dearth of “third places”.

The “third place” can be, for example, a restaurant or bar that you frequent (think the pub from the TV show Cheers), a book club, a sports club, or, crucially, a church or place of worship.

For Christianity at least, knowing that you were going to see and socialize with the same group of people (who share at least 1 major interest in common with you) every Sunday is apparently quite good for mental health. So, although I am no proponent of certain Western religions in general, I do think their decline has contributed to some of the mental health crises. How much? I cannot say.
