At this point I would think most people know, but for those who don't:

I believe the initial intention was that it was going to be a live service game, where they would add more content and cosmetics over time and continue to support it, but after the backlash of their monetisation method (after people had already purchased the game) they got it to a 1.0 state and moved on to I'm guessing Monster Train 2.

It's a shame because Inkbound had an interesting foundation there and I believe they could have figured out a better model to keep the game alive.

I got some good hours out of Inkbound, but something rubbed me the wrong way about how they handled it. It's as though following backlash on their monetisation they decided to wrap the game up and push it out the door and essentially abandon the game.

I loved MT, and that's why I grabbed Inkbound, but I'm optimistically cautious about MT2. The demo for MT2 was great, I'll just have to wait and see.

I know it's not what you asked for, but I highly recommend PC Part Picker. Whenever I build a new PC I find it really useful for seeing other builds, as well as it doing the hard work of finding prices for me and checking compatibility between components.

At first glance I pictured a silhouette of Pusheen.

When I first joined Lemmy as part of the semi-great API migration it seemed quite empty, but it does feel like it has slowly grown, unfortunately I'm finding following Trump getting in I can't scroll without seeing tons of Trump/Musk posts. Doesn't matter how many things I block it is neverending. I just want to go back to when we were just here to have fun, not constantly be reminded as to what is happening across the pond.

I use Boost for Lemmy (paid) as that is what I used to use on Reddit, but I've been seeing the odd message recently of people saying it has been abandoned as there have been no updates. It still functions perfectly fine for me.

Here's hoping they don't get in when the next GE rolls around.

This sounds great, what did you go for?

The scene in question

First year in dorms, fire alarm goes off and I'd evacuate. By third year I'd just put a pillow over my head and just accept my fate whatever it may be.

It's not just the cost that prevents heat pumps from being viable, there are other costs too. In order to have a heat pump the house needs to be fully insulated, not just loft insulation. Radiators need changing, and there needs to be sufficient space for the heat pump unit.

There are plenty of houses with solid brick walls rather than cavity, which costs a lot more for external/internal insulation installation. Older houses were never built with the idea of heat pumps in mind, and so I think there needs to be a much more realistic and viable solution.
