In the name of all that is good and holy, do not go down that staircase

With projects like these, I’m always torn between thinking that it’s cool it’s possible, and horror that someone somewhere will try to use this in production code.

I know I probably shouldn’t engage, but I really just wanted to spark a conversation. I find the trope interesting. I agree that my Good Place example isn’t that good, but still, no need to be so accusing.

I completely forgot to mention His Dark Materials! Hell doesn’t appear, but Heaven is portrayed as actively bad.

I would +1 this. I’m completely bald, and almost never leave the house without a hat, even in summer. It’s also important protection against sunburn :).

For something comfortable in the summer, I personally often go for brimmed hiking hats. A few that I like:

• Fjällräven Abisko Summer Hat
• Shelta Sun Hawk

Last I checked, it was out of print, so I bought Unfathomable instead (reimplementation in the Lovecraft universe). Still good, but missing pilots, so not as good :).

I’m working on some outdated memories, but IIRC:

Germany allows dual citizenship now, but used to not allow it in most cases. In those cases, if you applied for German citizenship, you had to express that you were willing to give up your old citizenship. Once you were granted citizenship, you had a certain amount of time (two years?) to show a certificate that you renounced your old citizenship. If you didn’t, your German citizenship would be revoked.

The only one I really remember is Trogdor, but in order to keep it in my heart, I am a proud owner of Trogdor!!: The Boardgame

I finished Dave the Diver a few weeks ago, and I really enjoyed it. For me, it hit this sweet spot of “Remember where everything is and grind the same thing over and over” without getting boring.

I bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution for 2.99€ and I’ve been enjoying it. I’ve always heard good things about the series, but never tried it before. Definitely feeling that Cyberpunk had some inspiration from Deus Ex.

I also bought Firewatch for 4.99€ and beat it in a day. I wasn’t spoiled about the story, but I had read a bit about it. At the end of the day, I’m glad I played it, but I’m not sure that I would necessarily recommend it.
