i do find it deeply funny that a polemic against peer review has an AI generated header image with easily identifiable problems (notebook contents upside down, one child is about to cut her hand with scissors, the other is building a geometrically impossible "lego" structure). if only it had been reviewed by someone else before publishing!

As someone who just rolled credits on Blue Prince after 20 hours or so, I can definitely confirm that there’s much much more to the post-game content than a skinner box. It’s much more like a mega puzzle hunt[1] with an RNGish roguelike wrapper.

Describing the Curta calculator as having been made “in Austria starting in the 1930s” is a wild way to gloss over the fact that its creator, Curt Herzstark, was a prisoner in the Buchenwald concentration camp and was forced to design and manufacture it for the Nazi forces[1].
This article, which starts by lamenting the “injustice” of “expansionist” historians, sure makes an interesting effort to ignore the actual history of one of its subjects.
