Wishing them luck. This looks like it could be really good. Sea of Stars set the bar pretty high for Kickstarter turn-based RPGs and it’s always nice to see more options in the category.

I’m curious how the grafting mechanic will play out. I’m hoping it’s more than just stat changes. Looks interesting though. Will have to keep an eye on this one.

I ended up on Inoreader after Google Reader shut down. I’ve never needed more than the free tier and it works pretty well.

It’s definitely the best pinball-metroidvania postal service simulator available.

Which would you recommend any as the best Pi replacement?

Yeah, Dark Cloud 1 had some issues, but Dark Cloud 2 / Dark Chronicle (depending where you lived) made huge improvements all around. While other pre-2000 game companies have been falling apart or getting caught up in controversy, Level 5 has been quietly cranking out titles that a lot of people don’t even realize they were involved in.

This must be what they’ve been waiting for to give us another Dark Cloud game.

I don’t know about saving money, but around here airlines have been creeping up checked bag fees for years. You used to get one free checked bag but when they started charging for all checked bags people started trying to fit thier entire vacation worth of stuff into carry-on. The bags I see people trying to fit into the overhead now are huge and just barely fit in the compartment on smaller planes. The airlines know what’s up though since they’ll charge for checked bags but then announce repeatedly before the flight that they’re looking for volunteers to check their carry-on to its final destination for free. I actually saw one airline enforce the carry-on sizing device as people were boarding and forced any oversize bags to be checked. A lot of unhappy people that day.

But if you microwave fresh water in a clean cup you’re missing the flavor from the scale and other build-up in an infrequently cleaned kettle.
