Over the last few months folks kept saying that the RNG in Blue Prince feels off, is too punishing, or that it needs to be fixed.

I disagree. I think folks are looking in the wrong direction. The RNG of Blue Prince is fine.

The actual problem is time:

If you're going to #Devcom or #Gamescom '25, there's train construction work that could affect you.

If you're staying in Düsseldorf, the S6 would've been one of the trains you'd take straight to the conference. Now, it's endstation is Köln Mülheim and you'll need to get an additional tram.

My beloved juniors, please take this advice to heart

If you're invited along with industry professionals you admire, you don't need to put any effort into impressing them. You're doing just fine the way you are, everyone just wants to vibe. Partake in conversations just like you'd normally do.
