  • I’ve heard rumours that may be a leftover from a crafting system they worked on earlier in development. It makes sense to me, at least, that that would be meant to teach you to gather things to craft some upgrades, such as the spine quest for the drifter’s cloak.

    All that to say, agreed, and I don’t assume they’ll be adding more wishes like that, most wishes weren’t lame “collect X of Y” chores, and I highly doubt Team Cherry would believe those to be the best parts of Silksong.








  • I mean… the job markets are undeniably bad, it’s not an indefensible position that the rate should drop.

    Trump has been openly and unabashedly trying to throw this guy out for ages, and he (accurately) talks constantly about how tariffs are a big cause of the current economic problems, he’s certainly not Trump’s lackey. I expect the rates to crater almost immediately after he’s gone, because Trump either doesn’t care about or literally doesn’t even understand the concept of long term consequences.


  • Closest I’ve got, which I’m surprised nobody has mentioned, is the very concept that entertainment is a worthwhile pursuit, and that we aren’t made solely to work. Pong serves no functional utility, which is a statement unto itself.

    That said, it feels a bit like a cop out to me, from what that quote is supposed to mean. I’d be content to rephrase it to “any sufficiently complex entertainment has politics in it”. For example, I feel like this could almost certainly be said about stories in general, but I’d struggle to find the politics in many simple children’s books, besides “children should be read to”. Although the more I think about it, teaching all children to read was once quite political.






  • Haha, I just installed prism (via flatpak) to set it up and see what my Linux performance was like compared to my prior Windows performance a couple days ago.

    Don’t strongly recall my Windows performance, but pretty sure Linux was doing better, frametimes seemed more consistent for the same result. Also, man, Prism is still the best, such a great way to manage a lightly modded Minecraft instance, with just a few handpicked mods, shaders, and resource packs.
