Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

The postponed holiday party has turned into a clusterfuck, as usual. Supposed to start at 1:30, no one had brought anything in, kitchen's pissed because they were making fried chicken and two people brought big cartons of chicken from Kroger.

As expected, Poppy's new album kicks ass. If anything it's an even tighter, more cohesive integration of the metal and electronic pop elements of her music, a further refinement of what she does best.

I've now finished MAP11-12 and gotten partway into MAP13, and the main difference between the TNT sequels is that Devilution goes way harder on the eccentric, experimental aspects, whereas Revilution sticks much more to traditional techbases for the most part.
MAP08 is also kind of confounding: I've found 2 out of 5 secrets, including the BFG behind the red key door, but I'm also missing about 20 kills and I have no idea where they could be. Nothing obvious stands out on the automap.
The maps in Devilution feel much more specifically evocative of Evilution, only much larger and with monster counts more in line with modern sensibilities (MAP06 has close to 400 on HMP). MAP08 may be an even more evil hitscanner hell than its Evilution equivalent.

New discovery just from hitting the A button when I was standing in front of Kapp'n's boat: you can now take two tours a day, as long as you've got enough hotel tickets to pay for a second one. I had no idea this had been added to the game.

So basically he backed down but he'll never admit that's what he did, and he's trying to spin it like he's the winner in this scenario. Feels like we've seen this pattern before.

The truth is, poverty is an unforgivable crime. My child is dying before my eyes because of poverty
If I had enough money,I could have saved his life

Migrated my account to Northsky, at first I thought the process had gone wrong because I kept getting an error message entering the key at the end but I guess it worked the first time and the error message was in error.

So now that I'm done with Revilution, I decided to resume Devilution. My save from a few months ago from MAP06 crashed the Kex port for some reason, even though the mod still works fine, so I just pistol-started it instead of playing back through the previous 5 maps.
MAP30 is done! Easily the best Icon of Sin map I've ever played, though in fairness that's because it does things that weren't even possible in the original games (i.e. those invincible turrets).
I stopped partway through MAP30, I messed up the fight right before you get the blue key and I need to retry it. Since I watched BMD's stream yesterday I know what's coming, but that doesn't make it any easier.
