Thank you for sharing this, I read through it all. I honestly didn't know about the April 6 Sudanese revolution and the article's description of neighbourhood committees has challenged me to consider what is possible

The improved connector is a really good thing, as I've had to reconnect it a few times and it is very challenging. I'll be a bit jealous as I doubt I'll upgrade to a 16 given that I won't have a clear alternative use for the 13 if I switch laptops

I haven't played any game meaningfully at all for 2 years since having a kid. There have definitely been times I tried to force it: early in the morning, late at night, on my mobile on the bus. But in all cases it led to more strain on my mental resources or sleep deprivation. I still occasionally listen to a review about a game or video essays while I do chores, but my relationship with games seems to be at a much greater distance for the foreseeable future. There have even been unexpected gaps of time where I get 2 hours to myself, but I realize that playing the game instead of taking a nap or making a nice meal would just drain me.

I come to accept the above because I think having kids does offer me a sense of role, challenge, and storyline that were the most attractive quality about games to me. I still miss playing them but I would for sure pay the tradeoff to keep being a parent anyday.

I've never played the axiom verge games but enjoyed reading your observations. I saw the pastel colours in a preview once and was surprised. Having said that it suggested to me there might be some kind of twist during the game
