@necrosoftgames.com 's Demonschool is brilliant. To directly tie combat movement to automatic actions as in chess/checkers is clever and original and fun. This is what indie games should be- the vanguard of innovation and originality, with the boldness to accept the risk that comes with it.

Thank goodness for MIDI retrospective record! For the hundredth time I just played something kinda awesome and completely flopped when I tried to remember/play it again. But it was saved thanks to this feature. So glad it's available in both Cubase and Live.

I stopped doing myDuolingo and have learned that they have a multi-pronged nagging strategy for their reminders including anger, guilt trips, and passive aggressive comments. I wonder if they collect data about which methods individual users respond to.
