    When did KeSPA pull out? I read that things were rocky from the very beginning.

    I liked the dark tone of the StarCraft trailer but not interested in open world stuff. Also 2030 lol. They also better come up with a proper name for it.

    The previous single from them had similar comment section. In recent memory, Mors Principium Est had an AI video. Periphery had one a few years ago when image gen was more of an emerging tech.

    I watched the AU version and a few seasons of NZ. The NZ taskmaster, Jeremy Wells, is terrible so far. Makes almost no jokes, doesn't have good banter with anyone, doesn't justify his rankings well.

    Is that about a specific man, or that it is just one man, or? edit: found this explanation on reddit:

    Congrats! Jokerless is a really tough one!

    Some handy baselines for 1-shotting round 1 (that you may know already):

    The easiest hand to dig for (especially on blue stake or higher where you only have 2 discards) is Flush. The chips need to add to 40+...a little annoying to count out...guaranteed to win if 6 is the lowest card among them.

    But also keep an eye out (between discards) for Q-8 straight or better, or Full House where the sum of the 2 ranks of cards add to 15ish (2s 3s and 4s are largely useless, 3 5s and 2 10s works). Or of course Straight Flush or 4 of a Kind, but those are really rare.

    At some point I thought interest was capped at 4, probably conflated it with the $20 cap of the Hermit tarot card. But it's 5, so aim for that if you can!

    They had won a bidding war back in April 2025. It's taken quite a while to hammer out that contract.

    Hollow Knight

    Since I did a second playthrough of Silksong, I figured it was worth going back to the original and doing some of the post-game stuff I didn't get around to. First off: the Pantheon of the Gods. Typically each pantheon has 10 bosses that you fight in a row, with a rest halfway. I got through the first 3 OK. They're each topped off with a boss that's new to you, but after fighting it once there's a place you can practice against it specifically without having to slog through the other 9 first. The 4th was a real doozy, with a harder version of the penultimate boss at the top. It took me a looot of practice, but I finally beat it. The 5th and final remaining pantheon is all 42 bosses (harder versions) with 7 rests sprinkled throughout. At this point not sure how much effort I'll be willing to put into it, if at all.

    Decided to also do a second playthrough to get some achievements that cannot be obtained in the first play (there are a few binary choices to make and they have separate achievements for each choice). Looks like most people make the same choices cause Steam says only about 7-10% of players get these ones (for reference about 18-28% for the other choices, not sure how many got both like I did via another playthrough).

    @turbografx16 you're a legend for being able to play without a compass/quill. I get lost so much and couldn't even remember how to get to the map merchant a lot of the time (edit: additional context: my first play was only last year).

    Turns out yes.

    Turns out yes.

    Your band name is derived from a Counting Crows song, ‘Ghost Train.’ How did that come about?

    Basically, when we first started our band we were just sitting around the apartment. We started going through lyrics, getting ideas, pretty much getting inspired by bands that inspire us.

    Paul went over that line [‘Took the cannonball down to the ocean/Across the desert from the sea to shining sea/I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation/Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me’] when he was reading over some of their lyrics. We thought it had a very unique message and was longer than most band names. It was different, and from day one with this band we always wanted to do something different than what was done before. We thought it had many different meanings. A lot of thought goes into that statement. For me, it has a positive message: it’s what we do between now and when we die. That’s my interpretation of it as a band name.

    Do you have a shortlist of bands where you think mixed vocals are good? For my taste, it's actually what I tend to prefer.

    From what I've been able to find people mentioning online, these games did the "left stick move, right stick aim" control scheme before Halo CE (2001):

    N64

    • Goldeneye 007 (1997) (alternate control scheme, requires 2 controllers!)
    • Perfect Dark (2000) (alternate control scheme, requires 2 controllers!)

    PS1

    • Quake II port (1999) (alternate control scheme)
    • Alien: Resurrection (2000)

    PS2

    • Timesplitters (2000)

    Do you think it's fair to say that Halo popularized it, though?
