Just completed Silksong (no spoilers here). Since about 3 hours in I've been astounded at how good it is, and was consistently made to feel that way until the end 45 hours later. I've played 18 metroidvanias by my count and this is best in class in so many ways.

It ramps up the difficulty of fights and platforming soon into the game, as if it knows you've played and mastered Hollow Knight. I just hope people don't find that prohibitive as the movement feels so good and figuring out the fights is a joy, plenty of room for loadout experimentation too.

The scope of the world is enormous and still dense with beautiful artwork, level design, and environmental storytelling. It has so much personality and sense of place with more tonal variation than Hollow Knight, death and decay are still major themes but there's much more life to contrast with.

One more try: #FPL end of season ramble! A rank that makes my irl friends no longer believe I'm a wizard but pleased enough with how I played. Had no particular rank goals after last season, just wanted to play in a way that vaguely approached maximising the chance of OR1 from the start

It's common sentiment that the analytics edge has reduced this season with an apparent uptick in competent teams, but imho it's mostly a coincidence that analytics agreed with the wider view of key players. The gulf in Palmer EOs in the last few GWs still shows vastly different processes

Regardless "Early FH and roll a lot" resulted in all subsequent chips practically choosing when to play themselves, something I didn't mind this time. Consecutive GWs in a period otherwise not hungry for transfers made AM24 obvious and a Haaland injury made delaying a WC beyond GW30 untenable

Better pricing and an increased roll limit were solid changes, was a great chance to break away from received solver-logic wisdom. I'm also one of the apparent minority that enjoyed what Assistant Manager did for planning, though I hope we don't see another delayed chip reveal
