I have to give a shout-out to the Age of Wonders soundtrack. Since it's for a strategy game, most of it has a very "even" tone that works great for a work or studying soundtrack.

For those who prefer their tunes to be less bit-crunchy, the Age of Wonders 3 OST happens to be mostly a remix / remaster of the original!

I think this is the third price increase on Xbox since the start of 2025...? Insane. Absolutely insane.

This is the biggest "hell no" thing I'll probably see this week.

I agree with the sentiment, but Amazon owns the license outright since they bought MGM, so I wouldn't count on it.

I bought it recently but haven't started yet. I should do that soon, huh!

I'm still not sure what to do with my own code.

I placed my public projects on GitHub to have a visible online front and invite people to submit patches. I haven't had any issues with GitHub so far. I considered Microsoft to be a good steward... until recently, since articles like this keep popping up.

I also already have a self-hosted repository for my private projects. It would be simple enough for me to move everything there, but then I basically lose any chance of other people contributing and that online resume I built up over time.

I remember getting the 3DS on launch day. It was considered expensive at the time, people complained, sales were sluggish, it got a price cut within six months, and I was given various digital goodies to make up for it.

Now, people buying the console more than a year after launch are getting a price increase instead. What an insane time to live in.

I think it looks fantastic, and it's releasing so soon too. Looking forward to playing this one!
