  • I played the demo on Steam yesterday, and had a lot of fun with it. I really look forward to seeing what they come up with in the full release.

    I’m so happy that it’s getting more normal for studios to release free demos. I’ve been playing a lot of hours of Aloft too, and I gotta say, it really makes me more interested in buying the game when it comes out, than I otherwise would be.


  • I was curious too, so I went to the Wikipedia page:

    The goal is to attain liberation in the body, by sealing in the energy of bindu in the head so that it is not lost.

    Haṭha yoga is a branch of the largely spiritual practice of yoga, though it makes use of physical techniques; it was developed in medieval times, much later than the meditative and devotional forms of yoga. Its goals however are similar: siddhis or magical powers, and mukti, liberation. In Haṭha yoga, liberation was often supposed to be attainable in the body, made immortal through the practices of Haṭha yoga. Among its techniques were mudrās, meant to seal in or control energies such as kundalini and bindu. Khecarī mudrā is one such technique.

    tl;dr - A spiritual practice of yoga in Hindu metaphysics.


  • tbf, it seems like his relationship with animals was really hit or miss:

    Diodorus Siculus recorded a story of Menes related by the priests of the crocodile god Sobek at Crocodilopolis, in which the pharaoh Menes, attacked by his own dogs while out hunting fled across Lake Moeris on the back of a crocodile and, in thanks, founded the city of Crocodilopolis.
