* Sadly, I am not going to the Portland Mausoleum for more reshoots this memorial day weekend, because they have hard-pivoted to only a very few tours and you have to be on a tour. The tour takes people to less than 1/6th of the building.

On one hand, I got to go wander while it was still possible.

On the other hand, that suuuucks. I want to reshoot. There is more locally made art in there than in our art museum.

* For Blue Prince, I've switched to playing along with a Let's Play. I love the game, but it's too much of a time sink. It's not a work thing or a social thing for me, so I can't let it take up the time it needs for me to solo solve it. I am letting Cohh do all the repeat runs for info while I do other stuff, and solving along with the videos. I can also timeskip or watch on 2x for parts.

From chat comments, I am not the only one who made this pivot. I would love to really get lost in this game, but I just can't. I am very satisfied with what I did solve even before I switched to an LP. I solved a LOT. I have my own detailed theories about what the end game moves will be. But I can let someone else spend hours doing runs to do all the needed layouts.

Ugh. Tour groups only?? That sucks!

I am glad you got to see it before they limited access so completely. It extra sucks that so much art is now completely unviewable

I should feel happy that I got so much access, but I'm just annoyed. It's amazing and part of the city's history, and so many people don't know about it and now can't see it. Best glimpse now is that one episode of The Librarians where it stood in for like 9 separate mausoleums.

I am glad that you got access to it while access was still available... but at the same time, that means you DO know what you and everyone else is now missing out on being able to see. It's especially frustrating that there are such amazing art collections that now literally no one is allowed to see.
