When we were helping my parents move earlier this year we found the desktop encyclopedia that came with my original copy of the game!

Yeah, I feel like I trust Steam as long as Gabe is calling the shots at Valve. I’m sure it helps that they’re a private company. Hopefully whoever takes over after him will have learned the lesson that you can make a nearly unimaginable amount of money in this industry without putting the screws to the consumer. If they were public or let the business “experts” in I’m sure there would be all sorts of moves to extract more money from customers that would end my trust, but I feel like overall I have a couple of decades of experience at this point that Valve isn’t actively trying to hurt me.

I’ve been looking off and on for a few months, but it seems like there aren’t many options anymore like there were 20 years ago. A couple I’ve found are FlatPress and WriteFreely, but I haven’t tried any yet.

It’s not actually fully built or operational yet, if that’s a deal-breaker for you clicking in. It’s an interesting project, though!

I don’t think it addresses yet how the food pieces will be added to the game.

Is it still illegal in Edmonton somehow even though it was legalized in Canada nationally?

It would be technically possible, but unlikely. You say you don’t have much experience flying, so that might make it less likely for you to succeed than a seasoned traveler. Personally I’ve been through CDG three times and found it one of the more confusing airports I’ve been to.

Are you planning to check luggage? Even if you make the connection your luggage might not.

The good thing is it’s okay to arrive at the gate after boarding has started, so you might have a slightly longer window to make it. The airline might stop allowing boarding at a certain point prior to departure, though, five or ten minutes, so you don’t have the full seventy minutes.

You also probably won’t have time to stop to use the toilet in Paris or buy any food/drinks for the flight. All of that is available on the plane but you’ll have more variety on the ground, and a normal restroom is generally nicer to use than the tiny one on the plane.

If I was traveling solo I might still chance it, but be prepared to not make it and have to wait an extra day in Paris, or not have any checked luggage make the transfer. But also I’ve flown internationally 7 or 8 times, so I’m a little more confident in my ability to run through an airport. I would prefer a minimum 90 minute window, though. Even longer if you’re changing airlines/separate itineraries.

Wait, you just created a new lockable quick connector that can be 3D printed with no other parts required? This seems bigger than Steam Deck!
