Oh boy, some memories here of playing the MDK demo over and over.

I started with something like what you have, and 8 years later I have an 18U cabinet that is completely full. Including 20 HDDs stuck all over the place with double-sided tape.

I am super racist against Republicans.

Small and medium businesses expect their profits to go up under Trump, but they aren't considering the exorbitant salary they will have to pay their political officer to stay in the good graces of the local chapter of the MAGA Inquisition.

I enjoyed it but not as much as I expected to. It feels simpler and more accessible than Root. I've heard it described as a trick taking 4X game, but I don't think either of those are very accurate. There's really no exploration happening so at best it's a 3X game and the trick taking barely feels like trick taking, it's something else entirely.

It's a very mean game since you can attack and steal from other players and they can't really do anything about it, because the aggressor is the only one that has any agency in combat.

It also requires players to balance the game. If one player is left unchecked they will run away with the points, similar to in Root.

The card play is the most unique and interesting part of the game. You definitely use your brain but in a way that I haven't seen before.

I'm not a big fan of the map. It's very abstract and sometimes feels like you are moving ships across the face of a clock than across star systems.

I need to give it a few more plays, but so far I like Root and Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy more.

There are a couple cards that lead to more direct interaction, like The Fool, but otherwise it's indirect blocking and card denial. There are other cards that allow you to gift cards to other players which can clog up their hand sometimes if they had other plans.

That would be telephony, which I didn't know was even a word until I was in my 30s.

Looks like Framework has a Linux compatibility guide and the fingerprint reader is probably the thing that won't work out of the box for most distros.

I think it's usually things like trackpads and WiFi modules that typically have compatibility issues with Linux.

I think the Black Mirror-ness of Loch Henry is unusually hard to spot, but it is there, albeit not as relatable to the viewer.

Young, tech-savvy film school grads try to make a generic true crime documentary but get wrapped up in the horror themselves, despite the main crime happening decades ago.

Might be more relatable if we were all documentarians. Or maybe we aren't watching enough true crime meta.
