The unicorn at the end of the rainbow
The Sunday sun bore down into my eyes, blinding me. Flashes of lights that reminded me of the kill animations in Halo reverberated through my closed eyelids. Two hundred metres high, the platform gave me a kickass view of the mountains in the distance. All I could think about was what would happen if I jumped. What are you doing, weirdo? Hey.

Hades - on gameplay loops and roguelikes
I was going to write on blockchain and defi, but I started playing Hades a couple of days back and I have not been able to stop. Hades is a video game that came out last year for multiple platforms, but I haven’t had a chance to play it until recently. And I fucking love it.
