Outer Wilds and the DLC are such amazing games. Highly recommended. The DLC does get kinda spooky sometimes.

The story about this backdoor is really wild if it’s true https://lcamtuf.substack.com/p/technologist-vs-spy-the-xz-backdoor

Haha, Rimworld gets even more horrifying. I’ve played the crap out of Rimworld and the previous DLCs, but I might wait a while to buy this new DLC. Rimworld feels like a uphill battle even in medium-level difficulty. I guess I’ll wait until I’m in the mood to feel horrified on top of that. I’m not sure I’m ready for my prisoners whose legs I cut off to keep them from escaping so that I can use them as blood banks for my vampire colonists to get mauled by monsters.

Internet2 actually has existed since 1997. It’s like a series of private connections between universities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet2
