I feel like a lot of Superorganism is jellyfish-y, but in a psychedelic way.

Been playing Blue Prince and loving it. Also working on Mega Man Legends 2 since I’ve never played it despite playing the first one like 5 times.

As an American, I super support this.

That is like .3% of our GDP, though. Not saying those numbers directly relate, but I think it’s a much smaller dent than 90 billion seems like it should be.

Oh, totally agreed. It’s just not in the way the person in the post cares about.

I agree that most anti-GMO stances are silly, but Cavendish bananas aren’t GMO. (The history of major banana cultivars is super interesting, though!)

Conspiracy Circus Sideshow at the Learned Lemur is cool. Not sure if it’s art, but it’s definitely performance!

I recently just recruited my first trader. No more pawnbrokers for me!

CrossCode was this for me. An unexpected gem

Wand of Fireball: has a medium chance of shooting a stream of cinnamon whiskey.

Always the intro rhythm of Postcards from Italy by Beirut

Dark Cloud 2 is a super unique dungeon crawler RPG. I absolutely love that game.

Seconding Burnout 3!

I think the nuance here is that lacking a house doesn’t mean you’re lacking a home. A home is a much more complicated idea that involves family or community for many people, whereas a house is just a thing by contrast.

That said, my understanding is that most people find the terms roughly equivalent, and I’ve never been either, so I might be misunderstand it.

Mostly, I’ve been fed up with music streaming platforms recently, and found that Jellyfin also supports my other media cases. I started with Navidrome, but had a computer running Mint already, so I just ran both side-by-side and find I liked Jellyfin better. They both took like 15 minutes to set up; getting my local VPN running and convincing people to use it was by far the hardest part of the setup.

That all said, I’m a software engineer in my day job, so I had a pretty good idea about how to navigate everything.

All individual logins. It just requires making an account through the UI, which is pretty quick.

In addition to the UI others have mentioned, I host mine behind a VPN so all my friends can use it over the Internet, too. It gets a decent amount of traffic every week.

I have thousands of hours across devices, and Watcher is still by far my hardest character to play. She can be extremely broken given the right combos, though. Here’s some general, rambling advice:

Wrath builds really want a lot of resources to exit Wrath (as I’m sure you noticed). All of the Empty cards help a ton, especially because they’re also just solid cards, but Fear No Evil is great to have 2-ish of in a 20 card deck. Definitely take a Tantrum if you have any strength artifacts, too. Rushdown also helps a lot more than seems intuitive (to me, at least); it’s also the basis of my favorite infinite in the game. Intermittent Wrath decks also really like Follow-Up and Wallop, and Conclude can sweep the first act a lot of the time, but that gets risky later.

Scry-with-block is pretty consistent, especially if you can get some Weave in there. I never take Just Lucky unless I’m building a Weave deck. (Most 0 cost cards are really traps, even though Claw is Law).

Divinity is pretty good, but requires upgraded Worship and probably also Devotion to luck into it. Wheel Kick is pretty good generally, but really helps out a Divinity deck to push your damage that turn.

By far my favorite Watcher card is Like Water, though. Passive block just for being in Calm is insane, especially if you have 2-3 in the deck. Easily worth playing early against The Awakened even with the strength buff. I will often get rid of any Wrath cards in my deck if I get enough Like Water and just sit in Calm the whole time.

I will say you should probably always skip Pressure Points. I love the mechanic, but because it’s the only card that interacts with it, you need like 3-4 upgraded copies to make it work at all, and that’s just too inconvenient to get.

In general, I think Watcher is way more situational with her card picks than other characters (except maybe Silent, but that’s very specific builds). Because of that, you really have to lean into the first handful of uncommons and rares you pick up. If you’re inconsistent with an archetype, lean more heavily on block, since you’ll be relying on burst Wrath damage. Protect is your best friend with a varied deck, and it and Perseverance can bail you out of a lot of bad situations. If you’re running a block-heavy deck, you can also get a ton of use out of Signature Move; Divinity/Signature Move is probably my favorite thing to have happen in the entire game (except maybe Nightmare/Catalyst).

Take all that with a grain of salt, though; I’m mostly a Silent and Defect enjoyer, and I struggle a bit with both Watcher and Ironclad (relatively), so my takes are probably a bit biased.

I’m super curious with what you roughly came up with! I never would have thought to look it up.

This is my experience as well. I was talking about it with some of my partners recently, and we all agreed we’d never go back to being mono, even if we were only with one person.

Also, the official poly flag

For sure! I think in a lot of ways, my first partner and I got lucky on the compatibility front. We’ve just always vibed super well, and usually come to the same conclusions about stuff, even if it’s by different means. I think we were also both pretty inclined towards multiple relationships, even though we didn’t really realize it until we’d been together for a long time.

Communication is definitely key, though. There are a lot of things that are kinda implicit in a monogamous relationship that you need to talk about more explicitly when it’s open. I think we’re also lucky in that we’re both friends with each other’s partners.

Honestly, the biggest hurdle was at first was insecurity, both about the relationship and myself (and herself as well). Getting over the idea that your partner may ditch you for another person they have NRE with is hard, despite assurances. Obviously, that never happened. These days, I’m so far from that version of myself these days that it’s kinda funny to look back on, at least.
