1. Hollow Knight
2. Steamworld Dig 1 & 2

Hollow Knight is just amazing. Reinvigorated my love of Metroidvania-style games. The atmosphere, the environments, the movement, the controls, the music, it all works so well together. Just amazing.

Which leads me on to the second recommendation. Steamworld Dig and its sequel are pretty unique in the genre. They’re Metroidvania games, but you’re creating most of the tunnels and platforms as you go. Great character designs, and smooth progression all the way to the end.

Landlords pass on higher property taxes to their tenants in the firm of higher rents. You don’t need to own property to be affected by high property taxes.

I know! Drives me crazy.

It’s a New York thing to refer to the rural Northern and Western parts of New York State that are not New York City. No one (or at least very very few) outside of New York State uses it to refer to any other place.

Exactly. Amazing how many people seem to forget it is “free as in freedom, not free as in beer”.

Standard time is superior for the simple reason that the sun is highest in the sky at noon.
