This game makes you feel like a badass while gambling your life away for in-game USD dollars. Relatively short though. Kinda felt bad for the dealer sometimes.

Played this right after Silksong. Absolute banger of a game with the most satisfying combat mechanics. Exploration and some instances of platforming were the only weak-ish parts.

This is going to be a relatively short post as I am writing this to shed light on the situation of a bot I built a few years ago called BookBot.

Current Situation

As part of Discord’s safety policy, verified bots have to be periodically re-verified. The last time the bot was verified was 3 years ago. It used to be added to around ~2850 servers and actively running before Discord enforced re-verification.
