Further to this, the procedural world will have its own specs and power progression which will drive how phases and levels are generated, their difficult, etc.

Components are composed of "specs" (eg weapon/thrust/shield) which have a "current power level" and "max power level".

Each player/enemy has a finite amount of power to allocate to different "specs".

The specs use the power level and curves to determine values for behaviour and other systems.

Installed Steam, symlinked the Steam library from the Win11 drive(s), presto!

The few games I've loaded so far "just worked"™️ and looked to be rock solid.

Very impressed. Hats off to Valve.

The effort going into the pixels is clear to see. Legit retro aesthetic, not "pixels scaled up" or "downsample tricks" aesthetics.

Looks great!

Another here!

Ah man, that really really sucks. Condolences :(

Lovely post about your boy

My collection of art/sculpture faces grew a lot.

MASP (Museum of Art São Paulo) is a very cool building. Lots of great art inside.

Itaipu hydro dam is ginormous and very very cool.

Toucans are so bright and vivid they look like they're fake until they move. Awesome bird.

Foz do Iguaçu (Mouth of Iguaçu) - the falls are insane. Very cool. Loads of wildlife too

Our hotel in Iguaçu was surrounded by jungle and nature.

Beco do Batman is an area/alley full of street art which regularly changes. Loads of stalls selling little bits and pieces, tasty snacks. Very cool.

There's a type of dog in Brazil called "caramelo" - my partner's family has one and she is the happiest dog I've met.

There's a chain in Brazil called Outback, and they serve meat. Everything is sort of Aus branded/worded. They have "Aussie bread", but after seeing/tasting I'm not sure how it's Aussie...
