    1. If you love enter the gungeon you’ll probably love nuclear throne. I certainly love both and both are firmly in the bullet hell genre.
    2. Fewer weapons and a more minimal game loop.
    3. Faster paced.
    4. You level up in a run as you kill things and select perks that change the gameplay a bit.
    5. More emphasis on dodging (without rolling) and killing, it’s super fast paced.
    6. Both have fun secrets and hidden levels.



  • My recommendation (assuming you have a normal @gmail addy and not a custom domain like I had) would be to use email forwarding. So you can leave your Gmail as is, but set it up (in the settings) to automatically forward all your email to your new protonmail address. Then you can gradually change the important contacts/sites to your new email at your leisure.

    I do highly recommend buying a domain and setting up your own email address though, it gives you a lot more portability going forward. You can actually do a lot with your own domain, and it helps you maintain trust better.

    Anyway, enough preaching lol, protonmail also maintains a guide to help people switch: https://proton.me/easyswitch





  • I make NFTs and collect them (I know but please hear me out) and to me and many in my community it has nothing to do with property or ownership… Collecting someone’s art is just a way to financially support them, encourage them, and also to have a collection of all the art you were able to support.

    I do it on the Tezos blockchain, which was created to use as little energy as possible, and all the art is backed up with redundancy on IPFS. There has already been one site going down (hicetnunc) and within 12 hours mirrors were up with all the same content etc.

    That’s how it should be in my opinion… Free for all to view and play with, open to funding by patrons who want to support artists, and resistant to any kind of corporate ownership or shutdown.

    My avatar for example was created by a friend (@[email protected]) who turned my avatar (self created) into an animation. I have it backed up locally ofc but knowing it exists on IPFS and the history of who made it and why is preserved on the blockchain gives me peace of mind, but I recognize that’s a personal feeling and I don’t expect everyone to view it the same way.
