Has anyone here played Blue Prince, and is there really no way to stop playing and freeze progress without ending the day?
I want to play for an hour at a time; does that mean I'll never get to the later ranks?
It would be nice if medications that said "don't drink alcohol while taking this" could indicate where on the spectrum between "make sure your mouthwash is alcohol-free" and "try not to get plastered too often".
(searching online finds lots of people saying "alcohol isn't good for you anyway, you know, so better not" which doesn't answer the question)
I have updated my article on the longest rail trip in the EU: https://jonworth.eu/the-longest-train-journey-in-the-eu/
It now adds a third variant: the most route-km in the EU where there is no shorter route available
I *think* this in the end is Savonlinna 🇫🇮 - Vila Real de Santo António 🇵🇹 (not Pocinho as I had previously thought), and the route-km is about 6744.5 - but I cannot be sure, and hence this variant is annoying
Anyone who has been following my work for a while knows I have long had a rather abstract discussion about the definition of the World's Longest Train Journey. I started calculating this back in 2021, after an incorrect map on Reddit went viral, and have updated my thoughts about it
I've been using the python library Beautiful Soup for like a decade or so and just realised that it's a Lewis Carroll référence, isn't it (and to a passage I know very well)
I don't think the uptake has much to fear from me.
