  • The La-Mulana series. They’re side scrolling metroidvanias that absolutely hate you. Getting hit is frequently fatal. Finding secrets aren’t just for fun, they’re a requirement. Puzzles range from pretty easy to “What in the actual fuck? How do I get there?” Hints are puzzles on their own. To top it all off, the lore is amazing and very well planned out. You’re basically setting out with nothing but a whip on a quest to look for your father and, in the process, you find god…

    I’ve managed to beat both a few times and can say, they are, by far, two of the most difficult and well constructed games I’ve ever played.


  • Seriously, just stop answering. Make sure your contacts are up to date. Only accept calls from people you know.

    When you get an unknown caller, don’t pick up. Don’t click decline. Declining let’s them know there’s a live person on the other end. Just let it ring until their system times out and hangs up. Let it happen enough and they slow down to a stop. I’ve seriously only gotten one in the past 5 months.

    If you don’t answer and it’s actually something important, they’ll leave a message. The scammers never, ever do.
