The internet stranger. Very strange! Dad, husband, reader, developer, gamer. I'm not going to be on one subject. Pro-ethical-AI, which means anti- most current LLM implementations. There are no silver bullets.

Monument Valley 3, A beautiful game of exploration, puzzle solving in a reactive world. Less than 9% have completed the first main area, and only 10% of them have actually explored it enough to open the petals on flowers as you go past. Such a shame as so many are missing out on a beautiful gem.
A screenshot of achievements for monument valley - two are shown.  The first is "Making A Splash" - Complete the hidden fens.  Rare - 9% of players have.  The second is "Botanist" - Open all of the lily flowers in The Hidden Fens - Rare - 1% of players have.
