I know Slay the Spire is supposed to be a game that I'd love, but I've never been able to get into the art style. I'm not sure what about it exactly I don't like, but it's just missing the mark for me and so I haven't been pulled in to try it.

Black Book is an interesting #game. It's a kind of crossover between an RPG game, an adventure game and a card game (first one I've ever played). It's kinda fun, but more importantly, it's deeply immersed in eastern Slavic folklore.
One thing makes me wonder. Life in XIX. century must have been hard. People needed to work a lot just to survive. On top of that, they clearly had a very complex system of superstitions. I would find it hard to remember it all, let alone watch yourself at every turn not to anger some spirit…

As SCOTUS continues to play TFG's game of sillybugger, let's not lose sight of the fact that Trump only cares about himself and only cares sbout immunity for himself.

Repeated Contracting with Multiple Non-Myopic Agents: Policy Regret and Limited Liability
We study a repeated contracting setting in which a Principal adaptively chooses amongst $k$ Agents at each of $T$ rounds. The Agents are non-myopic, and so a mechanism for the Principal induces a $T$-round extensive form game amongst the Agents. We give several results aimed at understanding an under-explored aspect of contract theory -- the game induced when choosing an Agent to contract with. First, we show that this game admits a pure-strategy \emph{non-responsive} equilibrium amongst the Ag…

Fallout does the grotesque good, meaning: breaking norms, contrasting the depraved and disgusting with Doris-Day-like shiny happy people vibes. But it doesn't really do much with it. Characters feel kind of detached. Hm. I like it better than the game though because at least it doesn't force you into 1st person POV which I really don't like and Fallout 4 kind of did. It's the only one of those I played. Never finished.
