Mbourgon

I played this during one of the NextFests, and I’m psyched that it’s almost out. Think of Slay The Spire, but with Lovecraft.

nothing like pushy maniacs to make my day complete

I am looking at these two, trying to find a deal on the Pro 2022 that makes it close to the price of the 13" 2024 Air. Right now the "deals" are still in the $999 range for it, as opposed to $800 for the Air. Which sucks - seems like the 2022 is still better, but $200 is $200. I have a pro 10.5" now, but the lure of bigger has finally won out, years later. Trying to see if I'm missing anything - on paper the 2022 is still better, even if older.

Advantages of the Pro 2022:

• FaceID, not TouchID
• Promotion display (120hz vs the Air's 60hz)
• can run external display

Advantages of the Air 2024:

• Cheaper
• Newer - supported longer?
• ? Anything else?

Don’t know how I’ve never come across this, but this made me laugh and cry and nod appreciatively.

Warm Gaze - by C.M. Duffy (Acrylic on panel)(2024)

Every summer, outside Mason Texas, approximately 4 million pregnant female Mexican Free -tailed bats come to give birth. Over the next couple of months, the babies grow, start flying with their moms, and eventually fly home. Not quite the size of Bracken, but at that time of year it’s one of the largest bat colonies in the world. https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/places-we-protect/eckert-james-river-bat-cave-preserve/

It’s an interesting place to get to. If you’re in a normal car, you need to pay attention to rain, as part of the directions are “turn off the paved road, drive 8 miles, ford a small river, then drive another mile or so”. The road is… not great, especially the last few hundred yards. But the bat flight is amazing. Seating is close you can get brushed by them. It’s a fantastic couple of hours.

I'm looking at feats for my Monk. Last night we were fighting the phase spiders and the spiderlings came in. Because we hadn't spread out enough, all of them came towards our group, so they were within melee range of me. I'm wondering if I would've gotten a reaction attack against each one (so... 6?), or if it's a once-per-turn thing. Thanks.

I have “mark read when scrolled past” turned on. And now I have (1) posts within the past day or two, and (2) posts older than a month (since I joined about a month ago).

Is there any way to mark ALL older posts read? It’s weird because I’ll be reading a post from a few hours ago, and then suddenly be reading news from a while ago, and I’m sick of hearing about the old news.

Thanks!

I’ll be honest, I got hooked on Bandcamp Friday when it started, and by extension Bandcamp, and I’ve found FAR too much good music.

Why Bandcamp Friday? All the money goes to the artist, I can listen to the whole album a couple of times ( critical for prog), some albums are “pay what you want”, and there are a ton of gems. And I want to support the artists more that streaming will. I want more of this!

Normally I don’t preorder, so I’ll buy them next month, but there’s a couple I want to shine a light on.

Specifically prog (i dig djent/math/post/prog metal but that’s separate) I’m planning on getting:

• Agusa - Prima Materia. Finnish folky psych prog.
• Jordsjø - Salighet. More folky Finnish prog
• Maxophone - La Fabbrica delle Nuvole. 70s Italian Symphonic by one of the classic bands of the genre. It sounds like im catching up on revivals two months running, after getting the wonderful Contaminazione 2.0 last month.
• The Chronicles of Father Robin - The Songs and Tales of Airoea (retro) - go read the back story and listen to the track they’ve shared. And FWIW, one of the members is in Wobbler. :)
• Earthside - Let The Truth Speak. I think this counts as prog and not metal. Loved their last album, looking forward to this.

What are y’all looking T?

If you like retro/folk-with-some-psychedelic Prog, this will probably be a treat.
