You're an amazing human being and I am in awe of what you have managed to create! The Patreon was my easiest join ever and I'm happy to hear that buying you a coffee will actually buy you a coffee (or other tasty beverage) going forward :)

What a lovely read. Very reminiscent of Doctorow's style and tone and I'm here for it.
Let's hope you end up completely and utterly wrong though. (I don't think you will.)
So, I really hate taking a laptop into meeting rooms so unless I know I'll have to share my screen I (used to) take an A4 sized paper notebook and a pen to jot down notes.
Recently I upgraded to a ReMarkable 2 which, while certainly not inexpensive, has so been worth it for me.
I do type pretty efficiently on one of my mechanical keyboards, but putting my thoughts into handwriting is a different experience entirely and I always want to retain this option especially for personal one-on-ones.
No, never been. I just looked whether there are any in the wider region but looks like only bigger cities have any, so an hour by car minimum.
I don't even have any LGS though, so a BGC would have positively surprised me.
I think I would like to visit a really nice one at some point just to try the experience. On the whole I prefer to play my own games - and to buy the games I prefer to play, needless to say - but going to a café with a nice small group and seeing what games they have could be neat.
Angela is great! Love her passion and how she phrases things.
Sure the videos could usually be half as long without losing much in the way of her argument but I enjoy her personality so I don't mind.
I've enjoyed both On Mars and Weather Machine more than Lisboa although the latter is always lauded as Lacerda's masterpiece. I really dig the complexity of his designs although it makes the games harder to explain to players who prefer lighter fare.
Backerkit was lovingly hugged to death for a couple minutes after campaign launch. I think it took me like ten minutes to finalize my pledge.
I'm curious what the campaign will be like. Cephalofair don't do crowdfunding exclusives, stretch goals or any of that FOMO bait stuff usually. So with all of the content reveals front loader it looks like it's going to be a pretty tame campaign with only a handful live play videos along the way.
Apple is a litigation company disguised as hardware sales. Steve "thermonuclear war" Jobs saw to this.
I'm with you that battery tech is a crucial linchpin for so many other developments. Until this transcends the current restrictions many other approaches will not really go anywhere in practice.
I'm not aware of any major breakthroughs currently so hopefully something viable is going to come up before too long.
From what many people say the Oceania extension appears to ameliorate some of the weaker points.
But for me, I'm not going to force myself playing a game I didn't have fun with again and again when I have literally so many other games I do enjoy playing.
It's more than fine if people do enjoy it but I'm not among that crowd.
Awaken Realms has good writing and very insteresting conceptual worlds, I like that very much about them. Their game mechanics could often do with "a little less" however in order to enable a good flow and fun gameplay loop. Still among my favorites though, warts and all.
And man oh man, AT:O has such a ridiculous amount of content and a ridiculous level of quality out already. With wave 2 of the original campaign fulfilling later this year and Twelve Sins of Heracles in 2025 - but in my opinion, Aeon Trespass truly is a lifestyle game in the best possible way.
Oha, die Nazis sind Nazis? Na sowas.
