I have been playing NO Man’s Sky since the autumn Steam sale. Unfortunately I feel like I have gotten to a point where I’m a little bored. It feels a bit repetitive and I feel a bit aimless. Will probably start on The Talos Principle 1 and 2 next.
Not too much, but by that point I was just enjoying catching fish, maxing out my boat, and started to test my sleep deprivation limits.

Just finished DREDGE. It was a lot of fun, and the first game I ever gained all of the achievements 😄.
Vanilla OS but trying to learn about the differences between blendOS and Vanilla OS
I imagine they can treat absences the same as they currently are. Teachers are told in advance when a child/children will be absent and can plan accordingly. I remember being given notes and the work I was going to miss in advance and needing to catchup. If teachers see that a lot of kids will be absent, they can plan alternate activities. Or maybe for a week a month there will be week long camp at school, which will be easier for students to be absent since they won’t miss class.
This is all theory I have not developed out. I would like to hear someone’s thoughts on changes to how the US school system runs.
I genuinely feel like school in the US should be year-round but with a set amount of “time-off” teachers and parents can use. That way time off is not so concentrated in the summer, holidays can be celebrated regardless of ethnicity/religion/culture, and the curriculum does not have to be so compressed. I am sure there are a lot of challenges this model will bring up, but it feels a bit more fair.
In the meanwhile though, good on NY for adding Diwali as school holiday! It seems like a lovely celebration that should be enjoyed class-free.
Playing The Finals consistently, and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. It is such a fun puzzle game, and I have enjoyed many hours playing it.
During the Steam summer sale, I picked up Viewfinder, Riven remaster, and Children of the Sun.
