He leído sobre el #DLC #MeaCulpa de #Blasphemous2 (que tiene mal recibimiento entre los jugadores en #Steam y #GOG).

Me parece caro: el DLC, en su actual rebaja, son nueve euros y pico cuando el juego me costó quince euros.

Me queda claro que añade (básicamente) dos zonas nuevas con su misión asociada y dos jefes. Y mucho plataformeo. Y el arma Mea Culpa, claro.

De plataformeo tengo suficiente con la actualización "True Torment" y prefiero acabar el juego así. De momento, paso.

In my head, possibly confusing it with previous waves of news media job losses, I was thinking the number was in the hundreds. A subsequent listen to MediaWatch corrected that, to just about 40;

Technically this is about 3 dozen, which is still a lot of people losing their livelihood, but ...

One of my permaculture teachers says;

If you're not making any mistakes, you're not learning anything.

That really stuck with me. When I get things wrong - especially in areas I consider myself knowledgeable about - what I try to do is focus not on what I failed to do (be right), but what I did do (learn something).

I give myself props for having the humility to accept my human limitations, and the courage to transcend my current knowledge. I celebrate it (see the #MeaCulpa tag).

A while back someone told me an electric car was not a car, because it doesn't have a carburetor. So you have to call it an EV. I took him at his word. Then I was on a train and I said something to another passenger about the train car we were in. And I thought;

Maybe the word "car" isn't short for "carburetor", maybe it's short for "carriage"? So I checked. Yup;

Was that EV geek messing with me, or did it never occur to him?

Me:
> Stalin only joined WW2 because the Nazis had the hubris to attack the USSR

As I learned sometime after this, from Snyder's Yale lectures about the history of Ukraine, Stalin actually helped Hitler *start* WW2 by invading Poland with him, and occupying a big chunk of it. Strange that this isn't part of the popular narrative if WW2 history.

But my comment here is still fair if applied only to why they started fighting the Nazis.

About the illustration with the raccoon and the guillotine.

As @lhaulde@piaille.fr points out, the guillotine symbol is not the happiest (especially in the French context) and may refer more to the death penalty than to a provocative and revolutionary symbol.
This was the 2nd aspect I was interested in when I first created and posted the image some time ago.
I thought I was being clear, which is obviously not the case. I'm sorry about that.
So as not to prolong the confusion any further and in the interests of not maintaining a bad symbolism, I'm going to delete the illustration from my collections and remove it from Redbubble and my sharing space.
(I'll just use the nostalgic little raccoon in a more positive context)

For the sake of honesty, I'm publishing these messages here and on my other networks for safekeeping.

Continued thread

I feel like I owe Eddie Vedder and PJ a public apology. I'm sure they'd understand, if they knew, but when I listened through their discography recently, I posted some fairly dismissive comments about their more recent albums. At the time I was frustrated and angry with the world, and I wanted music that spoke to that, like Ten, and Vs, and Riot Act.

Mea Culpa DLC Review: Is It Worth Your Money?

I was sent a free copy of the Mea Culpa DLC for Blasphemous 2 to review for my blog. While I am very grateful for the opportunity, I won’t let it sway my opinions. This will be my honest review. Make sure you check out my review for the base game.

What is Mea Culpa?

Mea Culpa is DCL for the 2D side scrolling Souls-like, Blasphemous 2. You will need to already own Blasphemous 2 to play the DLC. This DLC adds new abilities, quests, and alternate ending. There are also two new zones to explore and bosses to fight. If you enjoyed Blasphemous 2, it might be worth checking out for a bit of extra content.

Review

The Mea Culpa DLC was okay. It wasn’t bad, but it is hard to justify the price. I enjoyed the new areas, and the bosses were challenging and fun, but I don’t think it is a mandatory step into Blasphemy. If you are a fan of the series and are looking to support a great title in the genre, it is a solid buy and you will get your money’s worth in fun. If you are new to the genre and on a budget, the base game is all you need. I would wait for a sale because I don’t believe it adds enough to be worth the full price of admission. It isn’t a bad DLC, but it doesn’t stand out as hard as it needs to.

You can buy Mea Culpa on Steam, Xbox ($30.39), Nintendo, PlayStation for $11.99, but I recommend waiting for the next big sale.

Die Impfbereitschaft der Eltern, ihre Kinder impfen zu lassen, sinkt alarmierend!(Danke an Early Twix an mich) 🚨 Nur 77% der Zweijährigen in Deutschland sind vollständig geimpft, was gefährliche Impflücken schafft. Krankheiten wie Masern und Diphtherie könnten zurückkehren. Es ist wichtig, dass Eltern die Bedeutung von Impfungen erkennen! 💉👶
