That'll be me soon too! I am already so excited for early access, aaaaa. I wonder what the other two factions they're adding for it will be?

WE ARE SO BACK.
I'm also just delighted that it actually runs well on my laptip. I was afraid the nice graphics would kill it, but nay, it looks AND plays well...yesssss.
So far my only issues have been a bug I triggered one fight, and hero paths not saving between turns far as I can see.

Heroes of Might and Magic really is coming back...even the advanced tutorial for Olden Realms captures the magic of the game I grew up loving, but aa bright and bold as it felt when I was a kid (and with QoL improvements for adult me!)
I'm. I'm so happy. My soul is healing.

I just made these again, so I feel like sharing the best cookie recipe I've ever found. Source is off the side of a holiday baking display shelf in a grocery store from 2020? 2019?

Cranberry chocolate chews, aka the best cookie you may ever eat.

See ALT text for #recipe and extra notes!

White Chocolate Cranberry Chews

Makes roughly 48 small cookies or 24 medium cookies

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 room temperature egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup or 1 stick of room temperature unsalted butter

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (I actually recommend doing this step right before putting the dough on the cookie sheet to save electricity/gas!)
2. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside
3. Whisk flour, salt and baking soda together and set aside
4. Cream the butter with an electric mixer
5. Add the sugars and beat until light and fluffy
6. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat well
7. Slowly add flour to the sugar mixture and blend
8. Stir in the cranberries and chocolate chips with a spoon
9. Place teaspoon (for 48 cookies) or tablespoon (for 24 cookies) sized balls of dough onto cookie sheets and evenly space them apart
10. Bake for 8-10 minutes (for electric ovens, exactly 9 minutes is perfect, exactly 8 minutes is perfect for gas ovens)

Extra notes:
- If you decide to save the dough for later, be aware that refrigerated dough WILL take longer to bake, so will frozen. Refrigerated dough took me about 3-4 extra minutes to bake. I have not tried it from frozen.
- These cookies WILL look raw even when you have baked them enough! Let the cookies cool completely and poke one in the center with the tip of your finger. It should feel buttery, and a little squishy or spongy. If it's still raw, it will feel more like the batter before it was baked. If you're still worried, popping the cookie in a microwave for 30 seconds or in a toaster oven at 350°F for 2-4 minutes should do the trick.

exhausted of hearing 'its not that deep' you are staring at your reflection on the surface and falling in love with your own comfort at the water's supposed lack of depth. you scold someone else for diving in and disturbing the surface and making you look down between the ripples
