One thing that made me excited about joining Mapbox was how much I enjoyed their interview process.

Elden Ring Nightreign is not easy, regardless of whether you're playing as a team or solo. Developer FromSoftware's spinoff of 2022's Elden Ring takes quick reflexes and fast strategizing to survive each night in order to defeat the Nightlord. What can ruin any run in Nightreign is the lack of flasks for healing, which are -- thankfully -- pretty easy to acquire in the game. In Elden Ring Nightreign, each player starts with three healing flask charges. The only way to get more is to find them a
