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’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!
