That’s credits on Blue Prince. I’ll be back, because I have Theories on what that ending cutscene was about. For now though I need a break, and to play a game that doesn’t hate its players quite so much,

I’m so split on Blue Prince. Without the roguelike element it would be a stone cold 10/10 for me. As it is, I spend as much time resenting how little it cares about my time as I do in awe of the good bits. My latest run had me on the cusp of getting to Room 46, but I was cursed by poor RNG to god knows how many more runs.
I nearly rage quit Blue Prince earlier and then it threw a whole new room at me and I spent half an hour writing Python to try and solve a puzzle. (It didn’t work, there are too many potential options to brute force it)
It seems I replaced smoking with Blue Prince. So far this is going quite well, except for the intense withdrawal I feel when I’m not playing Blue Prince. Not entirely sure how I’m going to cope when I run out of game to play but I reckon I’m at least a week off that being a problem that needs solving.
We’re hiring at Demand Logic for various flavours of engineer, cloud infrastructure, web front end, and IoT. IoT is clearly my favourite because you get to plug boxes into huge buildings and pretend you’re in Hackers, but they’re all good. 4 day work week at full pay, remote friendly (probably within the UK because of employment law), and we make money by reducing big companies CO2 emissions.
Where would you buy shoelaces for a pair of walking boots from that isn’t Amazon? I keep looking in shops for some and coming up blank.
In an attempt to give up vaping I’ve switched to nicotine spray. So far it’s working through of virtue tasting like I’ve sprayed deodorant directly into my mouth, really makes me consider whether I want nicotine that badly.
Finished The Last of Us Part 1 this evening, which I’d been putting off until I had a decent chunk of time because I knew I was near the end, only to find I had 15 minutes of it left. Anyway, what a game that is, genuinely moving in places, gorgeous to look at, and the sound design is some of the best I’ve heard in a game.
@jasongorman the but being unsaid here is “incentive to work in crappy jobs”. UBI means having to pay an actual wage for cleaners and shelf stackers, rather than redirecting that money to shareholders.
@gwagner the company’s statement on this is quite astonishing corporate weaseling as well, acting all surprised that people would think a product labelled “a paper bottle” might believe it was in fact a paper bottle. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-56687585
