The lack of permance gets to be more and more problematic as you go on too.

I love the game, but it would still be very difficult even if you got to keep all of your items permanently, books from the library, etc.

At some point I’ll cave and watch how far others have gotten, but I’m not there yet.

Good luck. The further you get in this game, the more difficult and complex it gets. I have sheets of scribbled notes.

Bidet.

Yeah. I said it.

For those interested. The game is actually based on a book from the 80’s called Maze. It was a contest offering a reward for the first to solve it. It’s only a maze in the same in the same sense Blue Prince is

By random coincidence, my wife has the book. You can definitely see the resemblance.

Yes, you get dead ends a lot in the beginning. Eventually you find strategy and permanent upgrades and many more room types.

That’s what I kept asking myself. “How fucking big is this game?”

Well if you don’t get much time to play, be prepared that this one is an onion that takes time. If nothing else dive in long enough to see how much time the dev must have spent putting this together.

You’re not wrong. I’ve had most of these thoughts. I would appreciate more permanent upgrades to save time.

I won’t say it’s a flawless game. The depth is just so unexpected.

I played through the credits run solo. Now that I’m passed that, I’m bouncing ideas off a friend because it might take either of us ages to discover things like how to create certain items, etc.

You have me intrigued. I’ll check this one out.

I felt that way a bit too, but the game has so many layers of puzzles, that even a failed run has more to solve.

It’s kind of like watching Futurama. You still catch jokes on an episode you’ve seen ten times… Except clues in this case.

Me thinks this article uses some strange information math:

In 1923, Elizabeth loaned her son $800 – the equivalent of around $14,000…

He used that money to build a home for the equivalent of $7k and sold it for a profit. You can’t build a garage for $7k today, let alone a home.

71% profit loss and the stock is still waaaay up from a year ago. Our stock market is completely broken.

Not even a big knife guy and I love these posts.

Dunno. But I have purchased the kind for music, back when I was in a band. Much better than the foam kind. They also attenuate sound evenly rather than the drill thinking of adults in a Charlie Brown Christmas special. Great for concerts.

Fuck ICE

This looks like a pretty good solution. I’ll scout the out.

Thanks

Eh, I’d say $1k for the setup, so probably not ssd’s. The nas is just for Plex.

I’m actually stuck on sailing the high seas and running Plex. For whatever reason split tunnel, Plex, and my VPN do not get along, so it just seems easier to run to separate machines. Acquire stuff on one, host it on another. I guess I could just keep the storage all on my old box, but I’ve been burned on hard drives dying…then the back up died while copying to the new drive. So I just want hard drives everywhere now.

I could probably also figure out a VM, but that seems like a whole thing as well.

Correct. I’ve purchased other items from Canada, and hockey sticks from other companies in the past. I’ve just never been charged for duties. With the listed free shipping, it seemed very odd.

Today I learned.

Do you usually know how much it will be? My shipment was just a surprise $50 with zero indication that there would even be a charge, let alone the amount.

I’ll look into it. I wouldn’t have paid, but my wife answered the door. COD seems like a scam that ended in the 90’s.
