Redacted

Recently visited The Wee Tap in Edinburgh and have tried lots of Vault City. None beat Azvex Operation Genome [26.05] Mango and Blackberry Ice Cream Sour though. Could put that in the meal deal isle with the other smoothies and no one would notice the difference.

You don't need to apologise, sorry to hear that.

Yes but the default position should not automatically be "maybe you're on the spectrum".

Nice black OR white argument there. There are other possibilities such as the autism diagnosis being floated in everyday arguments to discredit people who see the uncomfortable truths with society and where that is leading us... Which was my point in fewer words.

You've even proven this hypothesis somewhat by suggesting I go see a doctor. Your immidate response to someone who disagreed with you was "might be autistic". All dressed up in nice placating words rather shorthand internet responses.

Perhaps neither of us are the true assholes...

None of what's OP wrote was alluding to "generally tactful social behaviour".

Maybe you should learn to read before you get all defensive, yeah?

Thank you, much better put than myself.

Not enjoying manipulative behaviours because of their wider negative implications on society is autistic? The Kool-Aid must taste real good.

I see the psyop classifying anyone who hates the bullshit and lies corrupting modern society as autistic has fully paid off.

1 - Clock tower, absolutely no reason that should not trigger at the set time, nothing about being careful or observant.

3 - Yes but if you want to recheck something you have to draft the library, end the day then draft it again. Add an extra day if you've already ordered the wrong book. Basically forces you to take screenshots of all pages of all books, preferably each with the magnifying glass, it's just unnecessary and doesn't add anything.

4 - No I'm talking about getting it active which requires repeatedly ending days or wasting a resource you need for the ridiculous "Does it never end?" constellation.

6 - No, there isn't anywhere in the game that outlines the coin costs for every blessing, it's trial end error, a complete waste of time. Also changing blessings is a chore and can cause annoying misalignments with puzzles.

7 - Well first, the number of crates, then the anticlimax of what's actually in there.

9 - In most puzzle games, yes, but in Blue Prince a red herring often costs hours in carefully engineering a run with no pay off.

I definitely feel like some of my 200+ hours were wasted on dodgy wording, pointless mechanics and poor design choices:

1. Events only happening on the first instance of each day caused me to get completley stuck on a relatively easy puzzle as I thought I'd already tried the solution.
2. Blue notes
3. Library mechanics
4. Southern Cross
5. PONDER
6. Blessings
7. First blue door
8. Watering can shenanigans

Then there were numerous red herrings which didn't even have any significance.

I would say Portal 2 for the laughs and story then Portal for similar reasons to OoT, then maybe Blue Prince.

It was good but some of the puzzles have terrible solutions and Tonda clearly didn't have any qualms wasting the player's time.

So you had an N64 and played it when it came out? Even if so, you were 7, slightly too young to really grasp the massive technical leap it represented for the entire industry at the time.

You questioned why so many consider it the best game of all time. The debate isn't about which games have the most modern quality-of-life features today, or what I'd take to a desert island. When talking about the "greatest of all time", cultural impact, timing, and legacy can't be ignored.

Newton discovered the laws of gravity. We don't diminish his monumental achievements just because physics evolved and his formulas are now taught at a high school level.

Also, my favourite Pokémon game wasn't the first one I played as each one was an iterative improvement rather than a groundbreaking novel experience which wasn't matched for years.

I could possibly agree with your statement "overrated in a modern context" (I'd personally put every single Final Fantasy on that list), but that's not what the "best of all time" lists are measuring.

Blue Prince... Don't get me wrong I got it day one, beat it blind and loved it but sticking that in your top 5 games of all time whilst throwing shade on Ocarina of Time is laughable.
