I normally prefer the versions with vocals

I wish there were more games with status effects that affect each other like in Noita for example.
You have oil on you and you get blasted with a fireball? You are ignited.
You are wet and get lighting damage? You are shocked.
The list can go on with less mundane ones I guess.

Not with that attitude.

I'm a simple person, I see poe2 I like

Waterfall cause it was the first level I played in my life that was vertical, Energy Zone cause it took me SO LONG to beat it the first time and then the game just became easy mode, Hangar cause still looks dope, the Base levels cause of the perspective, Alien Lair has great atmosphere.

In order of awesomeness (but all from Contra)
Waterfall
Energy Zone
Hangar
Base 2
Alien Lair
Base 1

Similar to the Irish situation, when someone mentions The Troubles most people see it as just catholics against protestants dismissing centuries of oppression that lead to the escalation in the early 20th century.

As of now the workers are:
- read from RedisQ, publish to NATS subject "ingress"
- consume from NATS subject "ingress", get ESI data, publish to "finished" subject
- consume from "finished" subject, write to stdout

The concept is fairly simple so it was a good practice for my Rust: have independent workers read defined sources, do stuff with data and pump result into their destination. They're designed to be omnipotent to keep distributed scale on mind - although that's not a concern at this point.
