The End from Return Of The Obra Dinn by Lucas Pope
The title theme from Hades
Rip and Tear from Doom 2016
So I’m ~5 hours into the story so far. I was super worried it’d be a bad followup to the first game, which I loved.
It’s pretty different, without getting into any spoilers, but I’m really enjoying it at this point. It’s well done, the atmosphere and decisions are on point, and the micro management seems lesser.
A few UI complaints, I found a tiny bug, but all in all it seems like a good and long single player immersive story city builder. Exactly what I want from the series.
I’d give it a preliminary 8.5/10 because I’m biased and love the first one.
Man, my parents were cool as shit about this. And I think it had really good consequences for me later on, like in college.
Sex was positively viewed, but strict about protection (rightly so), and drugs were described as a spectrum with weed being very low, and the scary drugs (heroine) being very scary. They were honest about wanting me to wait for drugs and booze till I was more adult, but let me have a few parties with friends where everyone crashed at their house. It was super fun, and very badass feeling. I got to college and was like … Meh? On partying.
Definitely not the only way to go about it, but the honesty helped me weigh consequences of it all a bit better, I think.
And it’s integrated into Archipelago.gg, which means you can randomize the alttp items with other games.
Wow, really well said. Extremely important that everyone reads this info above
Edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger

Seconding OpenCourseWare. I used that a lot before and during undergrad (engineer with math minor).
I do recommend checking out the “fun” math videos as well because you’ll learn a lot and it’s fun, like Numberphile, 3 blue 1 brown, etc
Idk where to draw the line with it being illegal for them to sell real copies. Like, what if it’s a really good fake? Are they gonna send out each and every game? They can’t spend $20 making sure a $10 game is legit.
No clue what to do about it honestly
Oh huh, that’s interesting. I’ll definitely have to check that out
If they’re cheap and common games, I don’t think it’s a big deal to have fakes mixed in if it doesn’t bother the buyer either.
Now for more rare stuff, it matters more. Feels like mtg cards, where a certain threshold it should be graded for authenticity and condition
Actually, missing because of a high-side on a motorcycle years ago. I did break some bones, but also tore through the ligament. Well, I guess it died from lack of being attached or whatever and was gone by the time they got an MRI on it
It allowed the bicep to regularly pop out of the humeral groove, which I assure you was not pleasant
I had some chronic shoulder pain for years. Primary physician was like “yeah that sucks”. 2 specialists were like “yeah, old collarbone injury I guess? Take Advil”
Years later, third specialist opinion found a missing ligament and did surgery.
Moral of the story is that you should get a few opinions here, maybe the first isn’t right
From a philosophy standpoint, Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning. It’s a brutally tough read, but a very interesting perspective of a Holocaust survivor and some of the more “mundane” parts (which were still horrific) in between the parts most people know about. The philosophy that follows is interesting.
It’s certainly not without it’s faults and criticisms, though.
Game is such an unbelievable slam dunk for me. Outer Wilds.
But if I could forget two, it’d be Outer Wilds twice because it’s an incredible story
Oooo Obra Dinn is a good answer
So I had shoulder surgery a few weeks ago. I spent a lot of one-handed time on the couch. Played some Shapez 2 with a mouse on the couch via the deck, I played some the Witness (goofily with one hand on my xbox controller), some Slay the Spire, and some Stray
Been nice to have the ability to not sit at my computer when it was too uncomfortable
Man I’m in my mid 30s and really loving gaming more these days. Lots of independent shit that’s had me hooked.
In the past few years I fell away from cars/motorcycles (building, racing, etc) and am loving sitting on the couch at home. It’s a stark contrast and has been a lot of therapy time, but I did it for years while not enjoying it. I think my takeaway is leaning into what I want and away from what I don’t
There are tiers of candy corn?
Love your write up. I feel similarly, and many many randomizer runs (Archipelago.gg is great for it), speedruns, and classic playthroughs later I still find the atmosphere and music incredible
