People were talking about games...
Specifically a game I recently played and absolutely loved (Outer Wilds - best game ever made. change my mind)
So, I've bought 1000xRESIST because @joel@fosstodon.org @sotolf@polymaths.social and others have recommended it.
So I'll be playing 1000xRESIST soon
And when I've done that I'll be doing Echoes of the Eye (Outer Wilds DLC - I've been letting Outer Wilds linger in my mind a bit first).
1000xRESIST discussion. Likely spoilers
@sotolf@polymaths.social @joel@fosstodon.org Managed to get about an hour in last night. I'm not quite sure what's going on yet but I do like the time shift mechanic. It reminds me a lot of Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons.
Not sure what the zipping around sections are for yet, where you have to target and zip to a marker. It feels a bit like nodes/neurons in the brain getting connected up to form memories or something which is a nice way of doing it if so.
Anyway, I've just unlocked the third time area so we'll see what I learn there soon!

@paul @joel Yeah, the whole thing is kind of not going to make complete sense before you get almost through it, and even then some things are more metaphorical than really something spelled out :) I will not spoil anything though :) the time thing isn't that prominent later on, but it's one fun mechanic, later places will have some other more or less weird ones :0

@sotolf@polymaths.social I managed to get in another couple of hours yesterday. Learning a lot about the sisters, mother, ancient mother, and the virus.
Not sure what the occupants are yet - I thought when it was first mentioned it was just a name they gave to humans, but since then they've spoken about them being headless, and there was an attack, so I'm thinking it's the massive glowing red things that have jumpscared me a few times as I turn around or look out of a window 🤣
I'm not sure, yet, if we're supposed to be feeling emotional for Iris. as it's terrible what's going on with her and her parents etc. But also she seems a bit of a bad person - maybe misunderstood? Maybe bad choices. We shall see.
Anyway, there are two massive stars in a cave right now and I need to learn to speak like a human apparently (both in the game and out of it 🙃)

P.s. I have screenshots, but I'm not on the device where they are!

All good from me - generally I enjoy the journey to the answer rather than the answer itself.
And in this particular case I kind of already knew something was going to happen as there's the "talking" ring/crown/node thing

There was also that bug in the epilogue where I literally clipped through the floor into the blocked-off tunnels and became soft locked. Had to reset back to the climax and play through all that again, which I didn't do until like months later… And that time where the dramatic-effect blurring of the screen made me walk around blindly for literally half an hour trying to figure out where the spot I was supposed to go was. Yeah I had a slightly frustrating time at a few points in the game. Still fun, though, and overall well-made. (And since Joel didn't have the same problems maybe it's a skill issue somehow. 😉)
