  • I read the first one over my Christmas downtime. Moved on to the second one in the new year. I have a large collection of Stephen King, and Joe Hill books. Ive had a love of reading for a long time. These books have been like eating popcorn or chips. They feel like fanfiction of all my favourite games mashed together, but then had the quality increased about 10%. They arent bad. But they arent… Amazing. Like… I have bought 5 of them now, with the intention of supporting the author and finishing the series as I can. But I wouldnt say… Man you need to read this book. The Martian? Operation Hail Mary? Gotta read. Ready Player One? Yeah, that was solid. You should read.

    Dungeon Crawler Carl? Its like a bathtub book. Or what I would consider a bathtub book if you weren’t interested in anything ‘spicy’ or vampires. So far solid 8/10

    Depends where you live. I’m up in Canada and there are lots of products that are manufactured, sourced from, built or grown in the USA.

    Lots of tv shows, online stores and even web hosts that. More about making the best choices when options are available.

    Absolutely, first thing we need is to stop the bleeding. It’s easier and cheaper for companies to harvest and sell raw product. Same as our LNG, coal, and any other natural resource.

    Stop facilitating the pillaging of our land for quick easy profit. Once the government says ‘company, you have no access to the resource unless you process it within 200km of where you found it.’ then we will see a shift.

    More jobs, better quality, improvements to infrastructure and medical etc.

    What tax? I think too many focus on throwing money at a problem. For generations we had logs processed at local mills. The big shift was the pine beetle, there was heavy investment into pumping as much through the mill as fast as possible. They created super mills. They closed down smaller community based mills to ship logs to bigger centers. Now it costs too much to bring the logs from their closed down communities to their high cost super mills. So they dump that cost on another country who will process without following our safety, pay, or quality standards.

    Go back to community managed forests, improve shipping and highways.

    I love this style of game. I always have one on the go. Some times they scratch the itch, others they miss just a bit. I found that the blasphemous series more dark souls than Metroidvania. Biogun, chasm, bloodstained, any of the ori games, haiku, the mummy demastered, turnip boy commits tax evasion, dust an Elysian tale… I have more but that’s a solid chunk. I’d love to hear from others if they do or don’t consider these in the same family.

    Do you consider Zelda64 a MetroidVania? If so then Darksiders has that action, similarly control, soul reaver 1 and 2, and blood omen 2.
