helen quinn, the sequel to myst

sleep schedule got fucked up and now i want to fall asleep by three o'clock every day

can't believe there's still people who think the ride isn't hot due to its bolt-on nature

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

i have enjoyed merritt wever in every role i have seen her in. including the film michael clayton.

this time it is merritt wever, who was in the film michael clayton, but also has had other roles in film and television outside of michael clayton.

when i see an actor who was in the film michael clayton i go "that's [actor name], from the film michael clayton"

my neighbor has been snooozing their alarm clock for about five hours now. i respect their commitment to the notion that they still just need a few more minutes.

i have some nits to pick with that game overall, but that bit was so funny to me. just a brilliant way to take advantage of players' expectations in a way that still makes complete sense in retrospect.

it's in the place with the misty valleys and all the huge chains. it's like a soviet box with a bunch of knobs and buttons. while it does have some easter eggs related to it, later on you find that it was just being used as a counterweight because it was heavy.

it is just absurd enough that you know from the start you're missing something, but with enough feedback that *surely* if you just keep tinkering you will uncover some sort of logic behind what you're trying to do with it.

still thinking about the red herring machine in obduction. i think it is legitimately the best thing in the game.

oh oh oh oh and look at that last line in the second image and think about what we had hammered into us about puberty blockers during the moral panic

i am going to bake a casserole

it's a good movie. im sure nobody has said this before.

tim robbins in jacob's ladder going "ehahaha"

dragula is blaring through downtown

A photo of a large rock, split down the middle, with the words "Riven Development Team" carved into the face, with a metal Moiety dagger sticking out the top of one side, and a yellow paper party hat on the other.

Happy 28th birthday to the best selling PC game of 1997!

when a sine wave oscillator and a sine wave oscillator love each other very much

watching the cutscenes from cookie's bustle again

also alien isolation

you ever drink water? it rules. water kicks ass.

if i do have a couple of nitpicks, it's that you lose momentum on flatground faster than i'd like, and that nollie/fakie is handled via a mode switch and it feels more "video gamey" and less like skateboarding. not sure how i'd resolve that with the button layout, though.

it's about wind up and timing. less about the pop and more about settling into position. it's a different connection for your brain to be making. reminds me of adjusting to the one-stick-per-foot controls in session. when you start to get it, it can flow really nicely.
