Hardcore mode is..hard 😭 #DiabloII

Nieuw Rondje met de #trike.
Door het Buitenhout, naar Stad, de Kunstwijk, de Parkwijk, de Danswijk en vooral de Filmwijk, over het Weerwater, om de Floriade heen en over het Edgar Degaspad weer terug. Slechts (oftewel wèl!) 21 kilometer zonder een centje pijn of moeite, ook mijn hart protesteerde niet en daar is het me om te doen, een betere hartconditie. Voorzichtig opbouwen.
Just finished "Starfish" by Akemi Dawn Bowman. It was gripping (I basically barely put it down and finished in in a single day) but also feels flawed in some ways.
Things I liked: a protagonist that I really strongly rooted for, and a resolution that landed with a bit of complexity.
Things I'm feeling a way about: complete lack of depth in interrogating heritage, despite that being a huge theme, some tinges of deus ex machina in how the central conflicts are resolved, and a real lack of good messaging around consent.

We’ve been living through an extravagant “Let them eat cake” time, a gilded age of tech robber barons who are swinging to precarious heights. At the same time, I’m feeling (are you feeling it?) invisible revolutions forming in hearts everywhere. Nothing has changed, but everything is changing.

Brady, Gronk, Hurts, Burrow: Fanatics Flag Football Classic Draft Results https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/brady-gronk-hurts-burrow-more-fanatics-flag-football-classic-draft-results
Most people just run into information randomly, naturally hold onto the peak neuroplasticity encounters the hardest, work too much to be adequately tapped into everything, and all the wealthiest most horrible people in the world have had unimaginable amounts of money to spend on pushing what they want hardest via every means they have regardless of how much soul the underlings can muster. Dont flinch at this or die
id Software: Let's make a pioneering 2.5D shooter. (#Doom)
Raven Software: Oh, cool engine. But what if we added the ability to look up and down, and sometimes fly? Oh, and let's add inventory. And maybe some randomized ambient sounds. And interactive environments. (#Heretic)
Also Raven Software: You know what? Let's also add character classes. And make the gameplay more nonlinear, with going back and forth between maps. And let's add jumping. And let's add some hacks to enable doors and walls to move horizontally, and add scripting. And monsters spawning randomly. (#Hexen)
EDIT: Oh, and animated backgrounds, and thunderstorms, and falling leaves!
