Y'all. I can't believe I'm saying this. But. I'm not really enjoying Echoes of Wisdom.
I don't hate it. Having to read walkthroughs to figure out the game puzzles using mechanics that aren't obvious/explained/clued-into is making it more frustrating than fun.
(Disclaimer for those already raching for the keyboard: Yes, I've played Zelda games before. Yes, the early games do this. Yes, I'm allowed to not like it anyways.)

A whole lot of comic book writers & artists got mad about Project 2025, The Heritage Foundation’s plan to consolidate power under authoritarian rule. I'm one of them! We've made a bunch of comics to explain their agenda and move you to vote against it. http://stopproject2025comic.org

Not consumer “tests.” Trump sent Putin scarce Covid testing equipment in early 2020
By referring to this equipment as “Covid tests” more than four years after the fact, news media are, once again, #sanewashing #Trump.

#OtD 14 Oct 1977 anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was "pied" by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist. She then began praying and burst into tears.

Wierd Question: I was taught and certified to give CPR in health class in school. Was it just us? Or did more people get that in their health classes?
If so, do they still teach it?
I'm not certified anymore - but I remember how to do it if I needed to.
This thought brought to you by a wierd sitcom scene where no one knew CPR.
In the end, they only used the five trees made instead of scattering them around the forest, but they're one of the first things you "see" when you jump in world. If you're in #resonite, check out "Creator Jam 281 - Silent Spring." Say "Hi" to the trees. The don't get much company....
Despite opening it up for folks to be trees, only one person took me up on the offer, and so we have a dragon tree as well. A lot of people seemed to like the concept, though, and through both building sessions (I only go to the first, but watch the second), it had a lot of people talking. Really felt part of the jam, and proud of my work.
In my case, I noticed we were going for a forest theme for the world, and I thought "wouldn't it be wierd to be walking through a lovely forest, and then you look over to one of them and there's a person in there?
Most folks had some literal interpretations of that, including a flower that steals your soul (by forcing you into the flower), or a patch of sunflowers that grow eyes that follow you if you get too close (and drop you in a nightmare world while they're at it).
