3 years ago I paid $6.99/month for Disney+, tax included. They offered an annual subscription for $69.99, so I switched to that.

2 years ago it increased to $79.99 plus tax, or $86.39.

Last year it increased to $109.99 plus tax, or $119.34.

This year it increased to $139.99 plus tax, or $151.89.

In the span of 3 years the cost has MORE THAN DOUBLED. Conveniently, they now offer an $7.99/mo plan—with ads. Disney knows they can make more off of you by selling ads.

I'm a huuuuuge fan of Failbetter's games and have played Fallen London on and off for over a decade, so I've been excited as hell about Mask of the Rose since it was first announced. It's as good as I hoped (I've played a bunch since this stream) and it's gotten me back into Fallen London heavily.

This was part of my game studio's Future Proof Plays series of streams. Check out our upcoming schedule and our entire set of archives (including my partner's streams) over on YouTube. Follow me over on Twitch to watch my streams live.

I absolutely adored this game. I finished two endings the same weekend as this stream. If you aren't in the mood to play in real dirt, why not instead play in virtual dirt while unraveling the inner workings of a coven and a cult? 🤷🏾‍♀️

I don't know why I didn't turn on the lamp in front of me so that I'm not shrouded in shadow the entire stream. 😂 One of the things I loved about this game is that I felt very able to be patient in figuring things out on stream. I often feel like I need to keep moving at a certain pace, but this stunningly gorgeous game encouraged me to take my time.
