Yeah it shares a lot of stuff with Dishonored gameplay wise, but has a roguelike bent to it. It doesn’t compare in terms of world building but it’s still fun, especially for free.

For the cowbird this is normal. Cowbirds are brood parasites, it’s snuck in whilst the robin was away and laid it’s egg for the robin to raise. If the robin is smart enough to notice what’s happened they will often still raise it anyway, as the adult cowbird will be keeping an eye on the host nest and will destroy the other eggs if the robin rejects it.

They’re still making videos on YouTube at least once a year too! One of the two brother chaps who created it went on to work on the animated show Gravity Falls too.

The industry is experiencing historic shrinkage post COVID due to unsustainable growth during COVID.

It’s not an easy transition. My partner works for DDG and I still don’t use it all the time. To their credit they are working to improve things but it’s a small team (comparatively).

We don’t take hormones, we are hormones.

The games industry is shrinking post COVID boom, companies expanded massively to try to capitalise on that and now the money isn’t there anymore. The games industry is always bad for layoffs, with staff being seen as an unnecessary expense post project in many cases. Additionally the tech sector is experiencing a unheard of levels of bad year (something like a 700%+ percent increase in layoffs according to at least one research group) which is contributing.

A shame, especially to be shut down a second time, the time splitters games defined my childhood.

That last bit goes for people too, it’s called Leukocoria can be am early sign of all sorts of eye disease. It’s a common way retinoblastoma (a thankfully relatively rare child eye cancer) gets caught - it shows up as a sort of white sheen in one eye in flash photos.

Probably better than dying, high cholesterol is responsible for 7.1% of deaths in England alone. In 2022 that’s something like 40k deaths a year that could have been elimated.

This guy’s trying to trick us into working out - Get them!

Less competition for their farmers/Shortages mean higher grain prices.
