Satellites like #Landsat and Terra helped map a drop in rice acreage during a drought in Sacramento’s Central Valley – normally the largest rice-growing region in California.

"Aristotle is out of date. He [couldn't] imagine living a life for the sake of stockpiling as much money as possible, much less orienting an entire society around it. We [sadly] can.
The shift to a pure market society, to a kind of totalitarianism of capitalism, was so successful that it has become almost invisible to us."

Aethermancer is a new creature collector rogue-lite from the dev of Monster Sanctuary
Seems moi rai games are sticking to what they know, with them moving on from Monster Sanctuary (which is still being updated) to their new announcement with Aethermancer.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Monster Sanctuary felt like a good Proof-Of-Concept. The systems were great, but the world, level-design and story were very boring.
Also most of the monsters were too similar. There were basically around 10 archetypes and the rest were variations on them.
So this has the potential to be great if they learned the right lessons.
