@marcel@waldvogel.family"I wrote in October that billionaires should resist cozying up to authoritarians: while it can feel as if they are reducing risks to themselves and their businesses, surrendering to a corrupt system is just as likely to endanger them. Musk is the first to learn this lesson, but I suspect he will not be the last."
Let's see.
@Xexyz@mastodon.me.ukHarmoknight: completed!
Harmoknight is best described as a rhythm platformer, although the platforming is basic at best and the rhythms are simple. You have two buttons - a jump, and an attack - and you have to either jump or attack in time with the music's beat.

The movement, graphical background, and obstacles are derived from the original Persia game, although there are no buttons or moving gates; instead the puzzle is working out…
@Xexyz@mastodon.me.ukPrince of Persia: time limit panic
For Christmas I was given the new Prince of Persia game, the Lost Crown, and (despite this diary's protestations) I have played a fair bit of it.
