The Seattle City Council delayed a vote on an initiative, I-137, to fund social housing, citing unspecified legal concerns, on Tuesday. The council’s last-minute maneuver prevents the measure from going onto the ballot in November, when progressive voter turnout is likely to be high. A majority of the council appears to oppose the measure, which would impose a 5% tax, paid by employers, on employee compensation above $1 million a year.

Anyone have any ideas as to why it might not be generating thumbnail previews when creating a post? I checked and Kickstarter and Youtube are doing OpenGraph correctly, so there seems to be something else going on.

You just described what I’m going through 100%.

[–] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 1 points 5 months ago

I’m down! As long as they work their way to “E.T. Rising”

I didn't get to posting about it, but I saw last week the announcement about "Beyond the Ice Palace 2", which is the metroidvania sequel to a 1988 Amiga game. Bizarre that now is the time to cash in on the social capital these two games have built up over the years 🤷🏼

I bought it after the positive reviews and have only been able to get to the city after the prologue, so you’re already farther than myself. But part of why I put it down was because it felt too soon to introduce this reprieve from the Metroidvania gameplay loop.

I have every faith that it’ll “get to the good stuff”, but I did have a similar feeling to you. I’m going to give it another hour in a bit.

There's a demo on Steam

I love it. Funniest play I’ve seen in a long time.

His explanation

Maybe it would've been better if he had made the shot, but give them something to laugh about, some excitement.

…my god. Did he hit his head on the rim?!

[–] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I haven't played it, but I hear really good things about this retro-3D metroidvania called Pseudoregalia

[–] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 1 points 6 months ago

They slipped the release date to April 5, 2024

I don't know if you played Laika: Aged Though Blood, but I'm curious out the biking mechanic compares. (Also had a killer sound-track, albeit a very different tone/style)

FYI: c/metroidvanias

Love both, and very excited for their next game, No Rest for the Wicked - which I don’t know if it’s been said explicitly, but is rumored to also be a Metroidvania.

I know it might be a little cliché, but I would still rank Hollow Knight as my #1 Metroidvania, but these two are my #2A and #2B, even after loving the new Prince of Persia. The level of polish is incredible and Wisps just cranked it up even more.

I enjoyed the video the IGN posted about them yesterday.
