After waiting months and months for the hotly anticipated release of the Champions Ballad, the second part of the Breath of the Wild DLC, I can reveal that it’s less DLC and more Nintendo’s evil plan to force you to listen to shitty accordion music while playing through variations of the least fun parts of the game over and over again in return for a lore-destroying motorbike. Any questions? No. Good.

Prison Architect is a prison building simulation which has been released as an alpha for quite some time now and presents with a bunch of bugs. Some are mere quirks. Some are game-breaking. Here are three I’d love to see fixed here.

Permanent Grass Bug

Grass, once laid, is impossible to remove. That means if you decide you want to extend your buildings, you can’t do it onto a grassed area. You can build foundations, but you can’t put new rooms there.

All Rooms Booked Education Bug

ALL ROOMS BOOKED is a bug which makes it impossible to run more than one education class. It seems as though no matter how many classrooms are built, or work hours assigned, your prisoners just won’t learn. Here’s a fix for ALL ROOMS BOOKED – make sure you have long work hours. Blocks of two hours at a time are not enough for the Foundation Education Program – you need at least three hours assigned to WORK in the regime tab. My foundation program, for instance, runs from 8 am to 11 am.

Workers Don’t Work Bug

Occasionally, prison architect’s workforce will go on an unexpected strike. Usually this is because one of the tasks on the workers’ list is unable to be completed, either because of another glitch affecting the completion of foundations, or because a worker has walled themselves in somewhere, or for no apparent reason at all. This bug has the charming capacity to completely shut down a prison, making it impossible to progress any further.

This survival islands map is made from several large, heavily landscaped islands in the sky. Instead of skipping from little biome to little biome, you can explore naturally shaped islands featuring various landscapes, each with its very own specialized terrain. The map also includes custom boss fights, custom dungeons, a stronghold and many more minecraft features commonly found in naturally generated minecraft maps.

Look at this minecraft town! It is made of wheat! And medieval peasants. Ha! Toil in the fields, peasant, toil from dawn to dusk. But download this minecraft custom map first.

This is a rather beautiful and very simple minecraft custom map, inspired by Skyrim’s farming lowlands. Although, to be fair, if it were staying close to Skyrim style lore, each farm would have maybe eight potatoes and eight wheat and eight carrots, and then there would be a custom NPC who would inexplicably pay you gold for having picked their tiny crops.
