Hey, just wanted to say I appreciate your posts. They give me the vibes of cracking open an old EGM. It’s nice to have a nice curated newsletter that doesn’t read like the SEO garbage that’s all over the web.

Loved this game! Really liked the cyberpunk vibes and even printed out the zines into little booklets. It’s been a while since I played but what kind of questions did you have?

What? Wilds can be played offline. The grind is there but it’s about the same as the other monster hunter games which can also be played offline. The online part of the game just lets you do hunts with other players.

Prop 13 just limits how much property taxes can increase every year.

This proposed proposition would fundamentally alter how all state and local taxes are voted on. For state taxes a 2/3 majority in the assembly and senate are already required but this bill would also require voters explicitly approve every bill. For local, it would change the threshold for tax increases from ballot measures from a simple majority to 2/3 majority. Both of these changes would utterly handcuff state and local governments.
