  Monster Train 2. I have 1 more challenge run left before reaching 100% completion of those. Then I might finally pick up the DLC and try to finish 100% of clan combos at max crucible level.

  Only then will I allow myself to pick up Slay the Spire 2. I try to avoid early access games, but will make an exception here.

  In MT1 last month, I beat 100% class combos at C20. The challenges were less fun because they required you to play at C20, and I felt like that difficulty permanently limited what strategies were viable. Challenges in 2 are zanier and most are at a lower difficulty, so it’s altogether more fun.

  +1 for Endeavour, apart from the unfortunate update of legacy NVIDIA drivers (10xx series of cards losing mainline support) this December I’ve had 0 issues

  Oh hey, another BCI startup. This one seems promising. I published in the field so I’m happy to answer questions.

  I did some digging over my morning coffee and couldn’t find any more details about the AI features. If I had to guess they might have a machine learning algorithm which helps decode brain signals. The company website seemed more geared towards creating a platform for EEG research and didn’t mention the AI at all? I may have missed it in my quick review.

  I’m less familiar with visual evoked potentials, but they should be a lot easier to read than other neural signals. This is a big plus because it means the device tolerates more noise. I’m curious if it’s reliable enough to function in the “real world” - some EEGs are so sensitive that they even pick up electrical noise from wires in the walls. You can post process some, but not all, of the noise from your environment.

  I’ve felt the real BCI future is with functional near infrared devices but I’m yet to see a breakthrough into commercial devices.
