An advert bearing the headline "In the most sought-after restaurants and Waitrose".

There are scribbles in places and odd underlined words. It feels a Hodge podge of design as if you're supposed to take note of what doesn't fit. Well, if you're a Blue Prince addict, that is.

It's been a while since I had any #BluePrince news but here it is. The way was divined through online guidance and I had to fight through two bugs to get here (you have no idea, grrrr).

But just when I think I'm out -- I love it all over again, how do you do this, game

A screenshot reading just two small words "BLUE PRINCE" with the same styling as it apepars on the title screen.

Ce mème utilise une scène culte de Mr. Bean où il copie sur son voisin pendant un examen. Ici, chaque personnage représente une étape dans l’évolution de la lettre A, depuis les hiéroglyphes égyptiens jusqu’à l’alphabet latin.

A YouTube comment written by Electron Dance:

Narrator: And you see, we're all really in a coma, we just need to wake up. WAKE UP!!!

Player: is that urine

New Blue Prince picture pair just dropped

can't see any difference between the depicted actions though

On the corkboard in the Blue Prince Commissary there are two pictures, one which reads "PUBLIC SHIT" and another which reads "PUBLISH IT". There's an imposter syndrome joke in here somewhere, but you probably need a magnifying glass to see it.

I'll definitely get a newsletter out this week because the mailing lists will break in a few days time. (k thx bye mailchimp)

@vfig ah i have various blue prince blind spots like this - where i take something as "read" and don't analyse the small print to realise there's One Weird Trick or a Glitch where something could lie

@vfig you know i was wondering WHAT IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE EEL AQUARIUM... were you supposed to gear wrench it out? What's the cool the trick I didn't spot?

@vfig I went with DARE because I thought 1 day might be beyond me for an extra trophy 🤣 i also wasted a run trying to do "room 46 in one hour" and not understanding the conditions (I'm part of the 50% of players who misunderstood)

I had my electric eel aquarium respawned a zillion times (i mean eight) - but it's still touch and go whether you'll actually get the mechanarium after all that :)

After many weeks I discovered I couldn't access the #BluePrince Dare Mode because I needed to start a new game. I am here to report if you thought the *main game* had time-wasting design issues (eg unlocking the same safe daily) then you KNOW NOTHING

Separately: I call this happy screenshot "GOTCHA!"

A gloomy, grey room with many doors, each featuring a cog icon. The bottom right tells us this room is called the Mechanarium.

We're ready for Microsoft Recall and the automatic screenshots it takes of everything on your desktop.

Signal Desktop on Windows now includes support for a new "Screen security" feature designed to block screenshots of your Signal chats.

Well I've been moving all the scripts and articles off Google Docs into Dropbox. Not a solution for collaborative work but it solves all my issues. Dredging up some long lost article stubs from before 2020. Are they still relevant? "Let's talk about the new sensation Frogger"

Hell, this one was a personal Gold Standard #UtopiaMustFall run: new high score.

Eventually, nuke attrition meant I had nowt in the kitty left to deal with existential threat. Believe it or not I had 4 outposts and 100% shield when this level started --- look at all these incoming missiles WHEEEE

Utopia Must Fall screenshot depicting multiple nuclear missiles heading for the city - whose shield is OFFLINE.

I discovered if you hang around way too long in a #UtopiaMustFall round then these bad boys steam on to the screen and are merciless. The terrifying drone roar sent me into a panic and I was ruined in 30 seconds.

I took this screenshot knowing everyone was going to die GG

Glowing vector graphics screenshot that looks like the original Missile Command. The base at the bottom of the screen is firing at something at the top right. A red totem hangs in the upper left space, full of menace. It wants to destroy you.

@lrhodes reminds me of the thousands of top five XXX listicles on tech websites which are not lists drawn from any experience at all, merely marrying marketing bumpf to "popularity" if you're lucky - yet try to sell themselves as Real Information™️

This dross was bad enough in demolishing the utility of the information superhighway

In the Criterion Closet, celebrity visitors pick out a handful of "critical movies". After's Natasha Lyonne's turn, they're probably going to need to restock. Fabulous:

Came across this short, free puzzle game yesterday: Undertoe by IrregularHex: https://irregularhex.itch.io/undertoe

Finished this today and can recommend it. Some tricky puzzles but many of them are finished in just a handful of moves. Interesting set of tools at your disposal.
