There's that, and there was a huge wait to get up to the top. It felt like we went from one line, to another to another, probably 6 times in total before we got in the elevator. The kids still liked it though.

I bet most tall towers sway a bit, and are designed to do so. Though from the top, I couldn't feel it swaying.

I doubt a photo would be able to capture the level of sway that happens. The effect I captured in the photo I think is due to the subtle concave angle of the sides, accentuated by the angle of the photo.

Been in early access for a little over 8 years, and it has been fun to see it evolve and grow over that time. They just announced that version 1.0 will release next year!

Wasn't there a Dreamcast Ecco release? Not sure if it was any good.

... I did not know that. Good tip!

In Ontario, Canada, 500/500 fibre from Bell. I pay $60/month, though this is a promotional rate for 2 years. I think I will be paying double after the 2 years.

Also fun fact: Larry DeMar co-designed and co-programmed this one. I know Larry has a number of pinball credits, though I usually think of him more in relation to his work on Defender and Robotron.

On that note, you can edit titles in Lemmy, which you can't do on Reddit. So that's a pretty great upgrade.

Engine Summer by John Crowley. I'm only about 100 pages in, but liking it so far.

I loved the first Foundation, but never read beyond that, for some reason. I know I have the first trilogy around here somewhere. I should dig up the other ones.

I just finished Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. It was okay, though I don't think it lived up to the hype for me. I actually preferred Klara and the Sun to this one, though still worth a read.

Do you figure there's a "curb cut" element to this controller? E.g. will some people of all abilities choose to use this device instead of a DualSense?
