Won my first run! Demon Form just about squeaked me through. I mean it is very much just 'more Slay the Spire' but there are a lot of v interesting twists on the setup and the new cards seem great so far. Few navigation/UX bugs that need sorting out though but so far I'm loving it

We're in. had to look up how to actually get it to launch and it involved typing a specific command line into the steam preferences. Ideally they'll fix that at some point.

Forgot to reply to this as it was about cricket, and cricket is boring. Misprints spelled out ANGLO MATHEWS, SHAKIB AL HASAN and MARAIS ERASMUS, three cricket guys involved in some kind of cricket thing. TIMED OUT / LAW 40 in the middle there, making a zero. who cares, it's about cricket

Alt text is important for accessibility but what we don’t talk about as much is that it’s also a great opportunity for joke density

Amused by the implication in this that the main character dreamed of being a playwright, but needed a career that made money, so became a TV writer instead

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

a slay the spire win screen with the victory. mostly it was getting shuriken and then loads of shivs which allowed me to outpace pretty much anything

Limbering up ahead of STS2. Successfully beat the Time Slug with a shiv build, which always feels good to pull off

Also I’d mixed this up with the other Gyllenhaal/Villeneuve movie and kept wondering when the giant spider was going to show up πŸ˜‚

Liked this. Enjoyably grisly bit of American suburban cul-de-sac neonoir. Felt like Weapons borrowed a lot of visual grammar from this. On balance I really like Jake Gyllenhaal - he gives a brilliant nutjob intensity to all his roles. Hugh Jackman good too
