  Bagels and Calculators

  I once believed a bagel was a sacred, noble thing, A circle of wisdom, a torus of spring. Boiled in tradition, baked into lore, Yet here I am, watching folks spread mayo—what for?

  They tell me, “If you can’t make the dough by hand, You’ll never understand the bagel’s true stand.” Knead it, proof it, roll it tight, Or else your breakfast ain’t done right.

  But listen, Professor of Flour and Yeast, I have a toaster, let me feast. You scorn my shortcuts, my modern ways, Like old men shouting at clouds for days.

  You once claimed math must be long and cruel, No shortcuts, no gadgets, just suffering in school. Yet now, in pockets, machines hum and glow, Cranking out answers you swore we’d not know.

  So pardon me while I sip my brew, And bite this bagel, fresh and new. For whether it’s dough or sums or gears, Progress rolls forward—it has for years.

  What blows my mind is that segmented runs were ever allowed. I understand it for longer runs, multiple hours, but a sub 4 minute run should never allow cuts.

  I recently tried it on Deck and it’s rough, but I think a lot of people only have a deck as an option to play it, so they use what they have. It’s a fun game, so it makes sense. If you have the option to play on a PC, it’s not worth using your steam deck though.

  That’s a bummer, I was just going to ask if it was even worth installing on the Steam Deck. Guess I’ll stick with the open world single player games and Slay The Spire.

  The problem for me is that I’ve read the entire series a few times and kept getting blue balled by the fake cliff hangers. I really wish we could have had Prelude and Forward before jumping straight into it.

  +1 for Hades, and also consider Slay The Spire.

  They did the same thing with East Bound and Out. Like what the hell man, where’s the redemption arc.

  God I love Heavy Metal, shaped my childhood. Spaceballs is a close second.
