Feel basically the same.Great fun learning Lumines for the first time and the stages that hit *really* hit. But almost half the songs feel like the interstitial music they play on Love Island or something. Heartbreakingly lame tracks.
So I guess the embargo is up on Lumines Arise. It's pretty neat—as someone who isn't used to Lumines' ruleset, it's unbelievably challenging.
A personal hurdle, however, was that moreso than Tetris Effect, I thought that so much of the soundtrack was absolute horseshit lol

We have to keep shoveling all money, labor, water, and the environment into this mulcher so it will one day attain sentience and solve climate change, the first of which is impossible and the latter is a problem we have known the cause of and solution to for over a hundred years
is it better for countries to invest in boring things like transport and energy infrastructure or should they invest all their money in useless chatbots that talk in reddit-voice on the vague and completely unsubstantiated hope that they'll be able to do something profitable one day

Delayed air travel is probably the only element of the government shutdown that actually inconvenienced dems in Congress, unsurprising that they folded basically immediately

Had a lovely afternoon reading this great little review, learning about a game I had never heard of, then playing said game. Games writing! It's good! (And so is "It Takes a War")
The ultra realistic graphic and pure combat of It Takes a War have to experienced to be believed.

It's not like this solves all the problems or whatever, but it's really nice to see. Just run on policies that aren't hateful and actually help working people! Don't suck off the fucking billionaires! Be cool! That's it! That's all the "lessons that need to be learned"!
