  • Two moments made me fall in love with Hunt:

    • My first game was in the early beta when nighttime missions were legitimately dark as hell. I spawned knee-deep in the swamp. Crouchwalking around through a swamp where I couldn’t see anything, hearing all sorts of weird shit everywhere and trying to avoid it like I was stuck in a horror game.

    • Realizing that someone was hiding in an outhouse, because I heard them breathing. Just to see if it would work, I stabbed them right through the wood with my bowie knife. Yep, it works.





  • I’m torn on CrossCode. On one hand, I think it’s massively underrated, on the other, oh my god it just goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and

    Needless to say I haven’t come anywhere close to finishing it and I think it outstays it’s welcome.


  • they will be limited in their exposure to different viewpoints - unless that particular newspaper is really good at challenging its readers and not just giving them what they think they want.

    This is why I’m a big fan of Allsides. They seem genuinely dedicated to aggregating as wide a range of takes on current events as they can, which is really helpful for sniffing out BS. Honestly it’s mostly made me think there’s less BS than a lot of people think, so long as you can read past leading language.


  • The biggest, obvious one to me is news. Say what you will about mainstream media but some great investigative journalism still happens, and these companies are in an awkward position where no one wants to pay and everyone uses adblockers.

    When I’m not living paycheck to paycheck I want to support Standard Ebooks (they’re doing a great job of showing how to make ebooks that don’t suck, check out their style guide) and maybe Neocities.

    The more I think about how Medium works, the more I think it makes sense? While they could have done the typical thing where the people hosting content there pay for their share of the servers, by doing it in reverse the individual monthly cost can be lower (casting a wider net) and the people writing for them can actually get paid a bit for doing so.

    I’m thinking about throwing some money at Obsidian, too, since I practically live in that app.
