This is correct, although it should be noted that the power generation side of this is just a kind of cool incidental thing. The main purpose of the coating is to protect the solar cells

It makes him into a little speech bubble

Oh hey, I’ve got one of those too!

For those who are, like me, confused about how the cat could belong to a man who died an entire human lifetime ago: the museum houses descendants of Hemingway’s childhood cat (and a bunch of other cats too). The website has a page about them that includes pictures of a few https://www.hemingwayhome.com/our-cats

As the article says, Mexico said it didn’t want American troops in the country. There is no indication that that happened. The US contribution here, as far as we know just now, is information

Even then, though, Mexico may well decide that even if it doesn’t want US troops, bringing them in to cooperate might be preferable to fighting the US over it when the US is being so belligerent

This title format is gonna be great in six releases’ time

Presumably when he wakes up again, so it might be a while

You don’t have to like Cuba’s government to have some sympathy for the people. Countries regularly send food aid to North Korea when its people are starving

I am delighted to report that the image description on Commons is “My cat loves styrofoam peanuts”

(specifically that’s the description of the original upload, not the cropped one on the article, but still)

Also it’s geo-tagged to a specific house in Canada. I hope that was a choice made consciously

To be honest it seems like they’re so paranoid about The Woke™ that it would be almost useless. It would just be a recommendation for every single game that has a plot and wasn’t made by dickheads

Is 30 fps not playable?

That’s fair, it is slow and often clunky. I am personally totally fine with the pace of it, but I get why it wouldn’t be for everyone.

To me, the ship navigation stuff was there to make the setting feel bigger and lend weight to the plot rather than the puzzles. I personally enjoyed stopping off at unexpected things I found along the way, or figuring out how to get to some of the less-accessible worlds (the marketplace at the very top left of the map stands out to me here). I’m okay with it not being a tightly-focussed puzzles-only sort of thing

Edit: possibly relevant, apparently the game had some pretty bad bugs with the navigations on launch. I played it after those got patched, so my experience may have been different to yours

The Gobi is in China (and Mongolia, it covers most of the border between them). It’s actually quite possible that the documentary was about the same project as this article, though. The Taklamakan is either next to the Gobi or just the western part of the Gobi depending on who you ask

That’s fair, I can definitely see why it would be an acquired taste

I really enjoyed Chants of Sennaar. Heaven’s Vault is also worth checking out for those that liked it; it’s by an independent British team, the language puzzles are similar but (in my opinion) a bit more involved, and there’s more narrative & character stuff going on. It is not as smooth a gameplay experience as Chants, but it’s manageable to get cool puzzles

Noita and Baba Is You are both brilliant games from a few Finnish people. Baba Is You is a puzzlegame involving rearranging the rules of the puzzle you are in. It will make your brain hurt in the good way. Noita is a roguelike in which you are a witch and you build wands with the spells you find along the way. You can make ludicrously powerful wands with some creativity, and the game is ruthless enough that it basically demands you do so.

I’ve already mentioned Heaven’s Vault elsewhere here, so I’ll plug A Highland Song from the same British indie team too. It’s an exploration / climbing game with some simple and really cathartic rhythm sections. The visuals and music are gorgeous

Depends on the type of adventure! I find that mysteries or political intrigues need a substantial amount of planning, but something like a journey through hostile land can be improvised much more. However I do also just kinda enjoy building out the settings, so I will so a fair bit just for its own sake too

“Quietly” as it’s being done with far fewer bombs and bullets than Gaza

The second-biggest cryptocurrency split in two becaue some people just decided to undo transactions. The transactions were absolutely theft, but the point is that some people just decided to change what the ledger said.

Assetto Corsa Evo! And probably also Assetto Corsa Rally, depending on when that’s done. However I am unlikely to get much on release as I have plkenty of unplayed stuff that I really want to play already
