The ISS's structural integrity is far more marginal than is being publicly discussed. We are having multiple, and increasingly frequent, leaks from heavily fatigued node segments in the Russian section.

When Aluminum gets flexed it fatigues and gets harder, increasing its… https://t.co/J73qY0FzzY

I have seen a lot of people like it, but the "it's broken trash" crowd has won.

Playstation is offering refunds.

I've put something like 21 hours into Hollow Knight so far.  I'd wager I've explored like 75% of the game. 

I was stuck for like 4 hours with not a lot of progress, but got over the hump.

I think the game would be much better if you could just fast travel between any of the benches.

There's a lot of backtracking when you get new abilities. There's a lot of backtracking when you're trying to figure out where to go. 

I looked later and I was actually ~25 hours in.  

Hour 1-17 was pretty great.

Hour 17-22 was somewhat frustrating. Basically made no progress during that time. Mostly because I didn't know where to go. I would check different ends of the map, and didn't have the abilities to pass whatever barrier was there. 

Hour 22-28 is back to being pretty great.  Beat a few bosses I was stuck on.  


There was a long stretch in there (especially during that slump, where Hollow Knight felt way more like a platformer, and it is a fun platformer. But I also don't love platformers that much - they're fine, but they're not close to my favorite genre. ) 

I think I've explored like 85% of the map now. - (which might not actually be a good measure. Lots of different sections to the map, some are pretty small.) 


This is a lot of fun. 

I've tried playing Hollow Knight 3 times, and I kept getting stuck around the 6 hour point. Was definitely interested in the game, but it just didn't feel like it was clicking. 


I feel more excited about playing games again, and that's really awesome. The last time was Astro Bot, and I'm not sure what it was before that.

Pretty funny announcement trailer.  

Loved spaceballs.  Hope this is good.

I hope it has a joke about the astronaut that was watching spaceballs on his tablet while reentering Earth's atmosphere.

Also I hope it's way way better than the history of the world show they tried.
