@DoubleCakes Monkey Island 2 is by far the hardest one. I've gotten through just about all other Monkey games without hints (had to look 1 or 2 things up in Curse of Monkey Island), but Monkey Island 2 I had to look up hints multiple times. Some of the puzzles are truly nuts.

@JamesGleick I think it's completely reasonable for NYT to release the statement they did. That's part of the "good fight". Sure, they can make a mastodon account, and probably should, but I'm still happy to see high-profile pushback against the Musketeer.

Anything to drag his name through the mud and get the public to question what he's doing.

@abetterjulie yeah not gonna lie, I love Hollow Knight, but it is way, way on the hard side. Definitely frustrated me a lot, but saw it through to all the endings. Death will be frequent. I tend to prefer my metroidvania be a more casual affair (like Bloodstained), but this one is pretty darn special if you can stomach it.

I just completed "Hill Climbing Algorithm" - Day 12 - Advent of Code 2022 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2022/day/12

Knew it was Dijkstra the minute I read it and I still proceeded to stumble and fall all over my code for hours. Glad this one's behind me 😅

@marylowd I sent 5 euros his way via his PayPal. Not much, but something. What a story.

@prawn @leo yeah what took me the longest was writing parsing code for the stacks. Part-way through writing that code, I was tempted to just code my puzzle file stacks into my solution as a literal. Actual stack logic wasn't too bad (at least in Python) once I had the data structure.

@leo Thanks so much for the approval!
