Nine Sols, mostly and boy playing it after silk song is not recommended. It feels okay, but I cannot get into the rhythm of the combat ever because you feel weak as shit, constantly being knocked back and combo'd to death with one mistake. Also not loving the way it wants you to use parry points to do a weird talisman explosion thingy. Feels like an inferior version of sekiro across the board. So going to slowly pick at it now rather than dive deeply anymore.

Also replaying creeper world 4, I have a soft spot for these games and needed something like this since I havent played one in a few years.

Waiting for Mina the hollower to hopefully be the next game I can dump time into.

I'm here for any Robert Pattinson role and he is fucking awesome in tenet, even if I couldn't understand what the hell happened.

And the Esposito character basically said as much earlier in the season "you aren't taking down capital so I'll be back, or someone like me, and the fight will continue, and you'll always lose". The fact that MM didn't dome him right there was insane to me, but I guess they had to have him get tortured by homelander or soldier boy a bit for plot reasons or something.

The trailers look awesome, can't wait to get a chance to see it.

I've been playing alabaster dawn, very cool game from the crosscode folks. It only has half of chapter 2 done currently. But plays really good!

And lots of slay the spire 2. Just slowing working up acensions with ironclad currently.

This is a zionazis who pushed out cori bush with 12 million in AIPAC funding his campaign, if I recall. So he's utter trash, and before he throws them out he yells out typically Zionist talking points about Israel Israel Israel. Not a serious politician, just another paid stooge who will continue the downfall of democrats into irrelevance.

I mean there's some old school twitch communities that kind of ironically love bubsy, but even they know that bubsy is a trash game and the the sequels are worse by far.

The safes in a room can always be solved with everything within the room. There is one that you need outside knowledge to open, but there is rules all those safes follow that allow you figure things out slightly better. You'll slowly learn the hints to help you figure out those safes.

For the boudoir specifically I'll say do not think hard about it. What's in the room, how does that become a 4 digit code?

The schoolhouse rooms are really great at providing you a huge amount of clues to many of the puzzles of the game. Some of them present alot of information that can be difficult to parse, don't try to memorize it all at this moment but be aware it. Some of the final classrooms are very dense so if you want to spend time learning it all you may need an hour to try and absorb it.

The passageway is a tricky room, it's useful, but very expensive at 2 gems, and never provides anything other than power routing. I'd say use it sparingly unless you're very flush with gems. The resources become more manageable as you learn more of the manor and solve some puzzles.

The number 8? Might be important. This game is kind of about trying to remember lots of things and trying to smash them all to complete the proverbial picture. Alternatively keep a notebook and try to read through it and see if that helps you piece things together.

Haha yeah very fair, it's like I've gathered thousands of dollars in my exploring so it definitely has removed any trouble I could potentially run into and I could find us buying a new life super easily.

It is immaculately built, and I wish I cared more about the story. But I did spend over a hundred hours exploring the world in chapter 2

So it clearly did something really really good to keep me there for so long.

That logic sounds good to me, you should definitely follow through on it. I'll say linking rooms with power is probably more rng than many people want to deal with, so if you find an upgrade disk to give a room power, you may want to take it.

There is some puzzles later that are crazy involved but they aren't the room puzzles. Most of the room puzzles are fairly simple. Ill say this about the sheet music and other books. You might want to take a picture of every page, and check them all with a magnifying glass.

Many things have multiple answers pointing to them though, and eventually you can often find an outright explanation for something's if you explore enough.
