A ticket tracker and a wiki!

Else all the institutional knowledge about your software that your users are adding too vanishes forever into a black box. And that'd be a dang pity

Hey, it's okay, friend, not every game has to be for everyone and that's fine.

What worked for me, I guess, was to not approach it in terms of a game where I'm trying to make progress, so much as a vast place with a lot of mysteries that all actually make sense once you work it out; and that happens naturally if you let your curiosity drive you. You will, in fact, be making progress; you just won't realize it until the pieces fall into plane and, all at once, you know.

OUTER WILDS! If you've played it, you know why. (If you haven't, do not ask. Play it.)

Ska peaked with Skibidi tbh.

Sandy updates never fail to spark joy. :)

Oh man, it sounds like I missed a whole thing. Do you perchance have a link?

EDIT: Ok, found it. A bunch of flat-earther influencers apparently travelled to Antarctica to prove that there is no midnight sun there (since its existence would contradict their belief), found that there is in fact a midnight sun in Antarctica, were then accused by other flat-earthers of having fakes the whole thing. Brilliant.

God I sure hope so. This is the only life I've got.

Only if you think someone's position on the spectrum never changes over time. Which, judging from the microsecond moment of pause induced in "straights" by the proximity of shirtless Jason Momoa, is not how this works.

Maybe Macron should start selecting ministers from the parties that actually won the elections, for a change. If not getting his governments toppled repeatedly is the goal, that'd be a good start.

Mint is just perfectly fine, don't listen to the naysayers.

As the old observation goes, novices use something like Mint because it's there, and it works; intermediate users use something like Arch because they want the control to tweak things in the greatest depths; experts use something like Mint because it's there, and it works.

Nah, that's valid. I loved it to bits, myself, but what made me love it was how adroitly I felt it curated feelings of dread and sincere awe as I explored deeper and deeper; and that's highly subjective. I hope you're finding as much joy in your own fave games as I did in Subnautica!

I spent way too much time on Red Baron. The simulation was just good enough to convey the awkwardness of piloting machines that in the end were made of wood, fabric and heroic faith, including the Sopwith Camel's notorious torque issue that made it constantly drift to the right.
