Is it possible that you engaged with the game in a way that was boring?

I had some exceptional moments with the game that were wholly interactive with my own hubris.

On replay I chose different stats and was locked out of some of these moments. Something a novel or installation can't provide.

Fellow face-eater: I'm filling my brain with post-it notes to chew slower and keep my lips out of it. Mild success so far.

Doing better with a similar problem where I step on my ankle instead of my heel (impossible to do if I remember to point my toes outwards).

In JoJos, everyone is a chad with a specific superpower that gets used in increasingly creative ways.

I think MBs best innovations are reducing many things to 1 roll and a join-the-dots approach to prep.

Time skips aren't easy to use if your sessions are short. We may finally try one next time.

The space Mythic Bastionland occupies is:

Medieval JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

I've ran it for 7 sessions. It's very good, but it can't do what The One Ring RPG does and it's not MtG adjacent like D&D or Daggerheart. And its Fatigue rolls suck (they don't build story like its other rolls).

a puzzle branded "quiz factum", titled 'Who drinks the orange juice?'
a crudely drawn maze leads a squeezed orange to one of four cats licking their lips. a keen eye will note that only cat 2 has an unbroken path to the juice

i used to post this on facebook over and over and whenever someone hazarded a guess i'd respond "could be any" or "could be all" and it always got so many interactions that it was at the top of everyone's feed all day every day

Was really hoping for a 2nd character called Fragile in Death Stranding 2. (And they'd've played it straight like she meant that the whole time in the first game.)

Pokemon Pocket TCG has infinite-series effects that literally reduce the outcome of the game to a coin flip. They don't dominate the meta, but they do make "winning" accessible to more players.

How does Fahrenheit work in cooking and cleaning?

I remember 64C being relevant for killing bacteria, 4C puts them to sleep, 82C steralizes (relevant for cleaning stuff). I've no idea how that works in Fahrenheit.

If you says these aren't part of the human experience you're activating my trap card

It's like if meta-progress was the only fun thing, not the loop, just the progress. The loop is dry as dust.

And triggering meta-progress is down to luck. (I'm aware the game is one big knowledge check, but getting the knowledge is also tediously luck based.)

I have not been lucky.

How the hell can one not know he's a Mormon when there's an insert character in Mistborn banging on about how great religion is and the ending lifts its plot beats from the Bible.

It's like it's chanelling the tone of His Dark Materials in reverse.

Ah Clair Obscur.

So many invisible walls.
All areas demanding the sprint trigger.
Parry or die (or grind).

I should not have listened to the Untertale / Mario RPG fans.

I hope I live long enough to see the TV show.

After seeing the Alien: Earth trailer I'm wondering if one of the writers owns a copy of Rifts: Atlantis.

Granted, the word "play" is intended to mean taking action of no consequence.

But inaction itself is consequential.

It's a fruitful garden for growing Zen koans. I would caution that koans aren't meant to have an answer. Explaining their nature robs them of their power to enlighten.

Shoot yourself to survive Julian Oliver is investigating the second-person shooter format, what it might look and play like. In this take on the 2nd Person Perspective, you control yourself through the eyes of the bot, but …

I see people are getting excited about the idea of a 2nd person shooter - which Julian Oliver explored 20 years ago: we-make-money-not-art.com/for_a_few_ye...

Sadly, I can't find the demo on his current website. Maybe someone still has a copy.

I'm tempted to chew you out for suggesting a change of aspect ratio in any game is trivial.

But then I think of all the friends of Jimbo updates and think, yeah, get to work you lazy git.
