Whenever someone attaches "but" after any statement that starts "I'm not [insert bad thing here]", I know they are full of shit.

Welcome aboard. Hope you you enjoy your stay.

👋 Hi better half ( I gave them a follow)

Overall, this game is very, very good. It's a game that has been thoroughly dissected and talked about because of how well-crafted, thought provoking, and impactful it is and rightfully so. I urge you to play this game if you haven't. It's a unique experience that I think everyone should try.

These aren't impossible puzzles. In fact, once I learned the way to beat them, I thought they were clever solutions. I just wished there was some Nomai text nudging the player to think more outside the box. If there was a text like that, then I missed it and I will take the L on that.

For the most part, I thought it did a phenomenal job at gently nudging the player into more points of interest. However, I felt like they could have done a better job indicating how to access some of their areas, specifically the Sun Station through Ash Tower and the Tower of Quantum Knowledge.

To start, I just want to say that I really like the approach Outer Wilds took with its story. While most games usually play it safe and go linear with their story, Outer Wilds really emphasized exploration and let you go your own way to try and figure out what's going on. I found that refreshing.

I finally beat Outer Wilds and I have thoughts. I'm going to try and keep spoilers to a minimum, but I'd advise anyone seeing this that if you haven't already played it, stop and please go play the game. It's a game that may take some time getting used to, but should be given a chance.

Can't believe that was almost 6 years ago when this came out. The music was phenomenal. Top tier anime for sure.

I don't think it's wrong to have a pocket of happiness during times like this. In fact, I think that it's almost necessary to have something like that. The world is a dark place now, and having something or someone that brings you joy can be the light you need to find your way around.

Gaming and reading

Man I love snow days

There is nothing better in a winter storm than a cup of hot cocoa.

These anglerfish in Outer Wilds are going to be the death of me.

That goes double for me, though my work does close down when it gets too cold/snowy

I propose a law where if you ask someone when they're having kids, you are agreeing to one year of babysitting no questions asked if/when the person questioned has a baby. If are not available when requested, you forfeit a predetermined amount of money.

Oh hey that's me.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It took me me 10 minutes of debating with myself if it was in bad taste and 3 different posts edited before I just went "fuck it we live with the consequences"

May I advise them to take a look at one of your earlier posts and learn the ways of the *zoop*?

Idk what it is about Mondays but they tend to drain me of all my energy.

There's so much truth in this it's crazy.

January in the Midwest and instead of the weather being perfect for snow, it's almost perfect for basketball? What is happening?

I feel that. I like to get immersed and that's hard to do when I only have like 30 minutes to do so.

Could also be that so many people are so focused on just surviving that they are just too exhausted to keep up with current events.

I think the issue is that we've had way too many national atrocities that should be covered properly happen so close to each other that it's hard to give them all the proper attention that they require. The files, the kidnapping, and the recent shooting all occurred with the last 30 days.

It depends. When I'm going through things I need to do, I often say "I need" or "I have to". When I'm going over past events, I will say something like "Man you really..." or "You messed that up"

Book and popcorn sounds great, except for I don't want to get my pages all buttery and greasy.

Sometimes it be like that. It's either that or you convince yourself that whatever you were about to say isn't funny enough so you don't post it.

It was never about protection, it was always about control.

I would extend this to all social media, as a commenter mentioned that someone took their photo from here, ran it through Grok, and sent it back to them. We are truly living in trash times. Be safe out there everyone. If the people in power won't protect us, we have to do it ourselves.
