I think this is everyone but certainly me.

yeah, and years later you see your idea in production under someone elses banner

Oh look an advertisement

I started playing a game recently that’s heavy on exploration and secrets. The reviews said it was the kind of thing you should be jotting down notes for. I liked the sound of that since I’ve enjoyed other games like that such as Tunic. But this time around… idk. I made a document to put notes and screenshots in and I used it for a little while, but then I think I just got lazy and stopped taking notes. “It’s fine, I’ll probably remember that!” … I did not.

Oh, right. It's called "Hell is Us." It came out a little while ago but it went on a pretty steep sale and I was between single player games. I mostly play single player games as stream games with friends now.

It was a little intriguing at first, but honestly I think I'm over it. We just haven't been getting as engaged with the exploration as we did with things like Tunic, Outer Wilds, Animal Well, etc. I don't really know why. /shrug. For what it's worth, it's gotten decent reviews, so if you're in a better headspace to play the game and like that kind of stuff it could still be fun.

Looks interesting! I love Outer Wilds so I get the appeal.

Is this a sponsored comic?

Sure looks like an advertisement for an organisation that has profit as its sole objective. I'm OK with stripping such organisations off comics. Artists have other objectives, so they can stay.

[–] d00ery@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Lol tbh I didn't notice the sponsor until you mentioned it

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

This is only half of the story. The other half is writing it down and most of it is crap on further consideration or never read again 😁.

Me when reviewing my notes:

I don't know, I love my ideas list. It's like a gold mine for when you're searching for your next project

Self-correcting problem. Simply forget that there was anything to forget to write down.

I’m lucky if I even remember the thing between thinking it and writing it down

I'm haunted by these
