![]() All brought together, there are a lot of systems at play in Roguebook, and it is to the developer’s great credit that it’s all balanced so nicely. This acts as the permanent progression that carries over from one run to the next attempt, and makes each subsequent run easier. There are also skill trees as well as individual character levelling (which unlocks more cards that they can use). That is how a roguelike works, after all, and this one is particularly good at easing you into it quickly. There’s a very short tutorial to make sure you can play the game at a basic level, but then you’ll learn by making mistakes, and likely failing on a run, only to dust yourself off and give it another go. Thankfully this is a game that you can learn on the fly. Finally, there’s a lot of jargon to wrap your head around, particularly regarding combat effects that are core to your team’s effectiveness in battle. Cards are abstractions of defensive moves, attacks, and special powers, and there’s an exploration system on top of that, where you’ll need to reveal chunks of the map that contain enemy encounters, treasure, and events, and to do that you’ll be using a magic paintbrush and bottles of “ink” to do open up those maps, one square at a time. If all of this sounds a little esoteric and abstract, that’s because it is to casual observation. As with any roguelike, the difficulty scales rapidly, so you’re going to need to really master these strategic synergies to reach the endgame. Rather, success relies on looking for synergies between cards and artifacts that allow for your team of two to fight together more collaboratively. Choosing the right cards isn’t necessarily a matter of picking the ones that give the biggest numbers. You get a lot of opportunities to acquire new cards as the party goes about its quest, as well as a large number of boosting artifacts and other items that can customise your characters further. ![]() Each hero is generally tuned towards one type of play (aggressive, support or defensive), but within that, there are many different specialisations that you can shape the characters towards, based on the cards that you add to their respective decks as you play. There are four different heroes to play as, and you can take two on any given adventure (or “run”). Garfield clearly loves the idea of blending player agency and randomness in card games, allowing them to build decks to suit their personal play style, and then encouraging them to spend hours trying to tweak those decks for the best results. This game had the input of the man who was, in a very real sense, responsible for the invention of the collectible card game, which in turn directly led to the deckbuilder. If “Richard Garfield” isn’t a recognisable name to you, perhaps if you saw “the creator of Magic: The Gathering,” you would be better clued into the value he brings to the project. It’s a genre that needs a break, and while Garfield’s Roguebook is yet another one… despite myself, this one really hooked me in. ![]() I’m going to review a really bad example of the genre soon enough, too (stay tuned for that). 2017’s Slay the Spire is excellent, but didn’t need to spawn an entire genre over the course of just five years, and we’ve already reached the point where the likes of Monster Train, being both perfectly competent and yet utterly boring, highlights perfectly that we’ve hit the point of saturation and there are just too many of the things now. Trust Richard Garfield to reinvigorate my interest in deckbuilding roguelikes.

![]() In Sync mode Lunar can sync that already adapted brightness to your external monitor so you don't have to worry about the brightness throughout the day. Where Lunar shines is with a MacBook or iMac where there is an ambient light sensor integrated in the device that adapts the builtin display brightness. If you simply want to turn down the brightness from time to time, you can set Lunar in Manual mode and use the brightness keys on your keyboard to adjust the monitor brightness. Lunar allows you to change the hardware brightness and contrast of the monitor (the one that can be controlled with the hardware buttons on the monitor) It's hard to strike a balance between simplicity and configurability. Hey thanks for the feedback! I know the UI is a bit too complex at the moment. I have yet to try Lunar but I definitely will much appreciated. But, this is a rant for another day.Īnyway, I built my own very simple utility to poll the internal display for its brightness and write that same brightness to the LG via DDC, but never had the time/energy to make it more robust for publishing to the web. Thanks for writing this! When I got an iMac Pro in 2017 with an accompanying LG UltraFine 5K display I was shocked to learn three things: 1) adjusting the brightness on the internal display is easy but on the LG it's a pain in the ass, 2) despite having ambient light sensor hardware the LG does not automatically adjust its brightness like the internal display, and 3) macOS offers no built-in mechanism to sync the brightnesses of these two displays.īefore learning these things I was feeling excited about Apple's re-committing to the Mac around that time, but man these things made it feel like such "commitment" was just surface level - such low-hanging fruit not being handled is a shame. ![]() 2 Samuel 9:1ĭavid said, "Is there yet any who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?" 2 Samuel 9:3 Then was Abner very angry for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, "Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah?

A Texas bar hosts a Festivus event, complete with feats of strength "I hesitate to use the word jolly too much in a Santa-themed event, but everyone just has a very happy air to it," Burns said. The holidays are about being happy and with the people you care about, he adds, and Santa Sunday really embodies that. The prime spot, he says, is to watch from the chairlift as the Santas ski below.īurns says the event attracts a diverse group of skiers, including entire families and grandparents too. He says there are plenty of viewing opportunities for other skiers to stop and take in the fast-moving scene. "We hold everyone back 'til everyone's there, and then we let them loose and it's just a free-for-all of Santas skiing down the slope," Burns said. Then they flood the chairlift - which is closed to the public for about ten minutes - and ride to the top of one of the beginner routes. The morning of the event, the Santas gather at the base of one of the slopes to pose for a photoshoot and present a check to the River Fund. The Sunday River chairlift is overtaken by Santas for a few minutes every December. "So I love seeing that become a part of people's holiday traditions." Hundreds of Santas ski for charity in Maine "Hiking, climbing, like all of that is certainly not unique to our area, but it is something that's really special about it," Slagle added. What matters, she says, is that people are spending time together and in nature. Slagle says some people come to spend the day at the park, while others are just there for the main event. It's since grown to include other activities - like elf-guided hikes, live animal encounters and nature-themed crafts for kids - to keep spectators busy between Santa's rappels.
