    Episode 8 had one scene that was really cool to look at

    spoiler

    When they hyperdrived one ship into another

    But it comes with opening a lot of plot holes and asking questions we were better off ignoring.

    Episode 9 is just garbage writing start to finish though. And garbage marketing when you remember they announced

    important plot point

    The return of palpatine

    through fortnite.







  • Mandatory parking minimums will just incentivize driving and make biking even worse, even if you also install some bike parking near the streets. It’ll make all buildings more expensive because they’ll need double the land so they can have the off-street parking you want, everything will be spaced further apart because half the land is dedicated to parking, and inevitably the streets will become more car friendly because everyone is driving anyway, might as well try to get the drivers where they want quickly and efficiently.











  • The Black Pool is a game I decided to try recently. It reminds me a lot of Returnal in terms of visuals and gameplay, but I don’t expect the story to evolve much beyond the initial “kids lost in the woods trying to get home.”

    It’s a 4-player roguelike where you get to choose random elements to slot into different abilities, namely a Primary, Secondary, and AOE attack as well as a jump, dodge, and once-per-world ‘rally’ buff. Each element makes the ability act differently, like a light primary is a slow charging piercing laser while wind is a projectile with knockback, and you also get to upgrade your elemental abilities after each stage you clear. I’m only about an hour into it so far, but I definitely think it deserves a little more than the 29 player peak it got right after it launched.
