Love that your example was riven. Was my first thought on the title.
The myst games, their newer game Obduction, the Talos Principle. Those puzzle games all are awesome and take some pen and paper.
Escape from mystwood mansion, the house of da Vinci are a couple others that feel the same way.
Less adventure, more “must optimize!” games like Satisfactory, Factorio are other games that require me to bust out pen and paper or at least a website, spreadsheet or calculator.
Fair enough
Check out the infuse app with a network share. Works way better than iTunes
The first was simply amazing. Yeah the second got a bit cringey with him just all around perfect and banging everyone. But we do have a flawed narrator so I’m hoping it was something like that. Really just hate that not only will we probably never get the ending but Rothfuss seems to be an ass about it. Even blowing off the charity chapter, and then always being super aggressive/angry when people call him out.
If we get something I’ll read it for sure. But 100% doubt we’ll get an ending as good as the start. Which is probably why Rothfuss is stuck
Save your money and time until it gets finished. (I really don’t think we’ll ever get the ending at this point).
Not worth getting invested in the story where we’ll never see an end
They’re the 3rd largest video game company and the current highest valued company (by market cap, so yeah not a perfect metric) in the world.
They became that big of a video game company by using their ridiculous amount of money to buy up a bunch of other game companies, reducing the competition but hoarding the IP. While they might not be the “only” company in town I think it is safe to say that they’re doing the most buying and consolidating
Monopolies suck.
Wish I could be a fly on the walk when the bad actor realized years of work has just gone down the drain
Check out Project Highrise. Felt pretty similar to the nostalgia.

Today I Learned
Don’t forget taking forever for an initial patch release, despite there being multiple game breaking bugs.
The state the game was at release was absolutely awful.
The only folks who kept playing that I know were folks grinding for the final levels/achievements/weapons. Which consisted of playing in unenjoyable ways like using bad load outs, doing stupid crap like tagging a billion guards, etc. Who wants to pay money for an unenjoyable grind?
They released a decent patch, some new content and DLC but everyone has already moved on. They totally screwed themselves, sucks it’s an IP that I like, but more games need to fail like this so publishers stop doing the same bullshit
Curious about how the cabal can be a dog whistle. Can you enlighten me? The wiki article didn’t help. Though learning the etymology was cool.
Eh, it’s just easier on the console. They can pick anything in the library and play online this way. Otherwise no such luck. I mean I don’t usually pay full price fo gamepass anyways.
Yeah I treat gamepass like a demo to try the game sometimes. But if it’s something I know I will play, I just buy it on steam. Its such a pain. Half the time the game won’t launch. The only reason I keep it around is because my kids play on my Xbox sometimes
Absolutely, I am guilty of reading a lot of progression fantasy / litrpg and they’d all be amazing to watch animated. Really hoping this one makes it.
Great read! Very interesting.
I still think it was silly to have reintroduction of wolves up to a popular vote instead of leaving it up to the professionals. But it happened, I’m curious to see how far their range goes, the ones in WA go all over.
My problem with this study has always been that it takes place in Yellowstone. A huge area that is super controlled and significantly different from the rest of the country.
I think blindly believing we’ll see the same results everywhere we throw wolves is wishful thinking.
Guess we’ll see how it plays out. As a hunter I’m not thrilled to have more competition for elk and deer, but it’s always been (and should be) predators get first dibs on wildlife. What I want is to see the reintroduction and revitalization of the buffalo. You know how cool it’d be to see giant herds of bison roaming all over the wild?
The ironic part is the one place their store is available (PC), it’s such a pile of steaming crap that I don’t even use it for the free games
It’s fun but definitely busted and janky just like when ASR was released. So many bugs, and kudos to the devs, but also sooo many patches. Cause it’s clear they’re testing live on us lol
Use a ton of their MagSafe stuff, their travel 3-in-1 charger, the portable MagSafe battery, their other 3-in-1 charger.
I know folks have complained about their quality going down but I haven’t noticed it with their chargers. They’re still our go-to for charging
