Diversity Win: you can only get the good ending of chapter 1 if you are affirming toward the gender-nonconforming ghost child.
As solutions go I guess it's better than the alternative, but... I guess I should have been more suspicious of the rose motifs in that chapter

ok so I was a little too hasty in complaining about the lack of story/context in Spirit Hunter: Death Mark.
The bad news: there's some annoying pixel hunting involved and also occasional pinup-style illustrations of (in the first chapter) women being trapped by thorny vines. I can only assume that's gonna continue throughout the game.

If you're into documentaries about people with excessive rock n' roll talent, then you might want to find time to watch "Fanny: The Right to Rock". I watched it through PBS, but it might be available in other ways. Content warning: you might cry a little.
https://www.pbs.org/show/fanny-right-rock/
If you can't watch that show, then at least catch a few of their performances which are readily available on Youtube.

'As a journalism professor in Illinois, Meyer said, he had graduate students from Egypt who talked about how people would come into the newspaper office and seize everything so they couldn’t publish. Those students presented a scholarly paper at a conference in Toronto about what it has done to journalism there.
“That’s basically what they’re trying to do here,” Meyer said. “The intervention is just like that repressive government of Egypt. I didn’t think it could happen in America.”'

PwC scandal: “Repeated efforts by the Australian Tax Office to convince federal police to investigate PwC in 2018 failed because it did not have “the investigative powers” to secure key evidence.
For the first time the ATO has published a detailed timeline of the PwC scandal that confirms years of frustration at the firm allegedly withholding information about how it helped multinational companies avoid paying tax.”
