Congrats! Yea A1 is easier cause you get more elites which directly equates to more relics.
Time to climb the ascension levels now?

Excuse me, I see a fellow IDM enjoyer. Any recommendations for me?
You got this! Remember that STS rewards picking the option that immediately helps you, instead of trying to over-engineer some dream deck.
Great! Time to forgo every other aspect of my life while I grind out A20s
GIMP does look better now, but I feel like its workflow is actively working against the user experience.
Can someone tell me how to force Google drive to show me folders instead of files on start? Why would I ever need to look at a mess of files? I spend time organizing them into folders a reason, no thanks Google I really wanted them haphazardly thrown in my face.
I never expected a Hollow Knight reference here
Also that machine only works under very specific circumstances, so you fear changing anything in case your entire protocol breaks and you have to start from scratch.
Who the fuck downvoted you? I’ve never encountered anyone bullying fat people in the gym before. Maybe these memers should actually go visit a gym.
TLOU does have an amazing soundtrack but come on it was released eons ago. Justice for Chai
I’m upset that HiFi Rush didn’t win anything at all
Is there some gambler challenge that you’re trying to clear? I gave up at the blackjack one and shot the dealer
Yeap fully agreed here as well. I do think the medium itself is shackled by its own chains, but my goodness when you find a game that does it well – the feeling is astounding.
I guess it depends on the player as well. I adored how TLOU2 handled its story but most people might disagree.
Anyway, I’ve come to the realisation that I’ve mostly been reading non fiction lately! Maybe that’s why I’m so fiction starved.
If you’ve any books to recommend I’d love to hear them!
I’d like to think I’m an avid reader (and gamer) as well. I view both highly and both have their strengths.
SPOILERS
Video games shine in terms of player interactivity. I genuinely felt visceral, strong emotions by simply having to press the square button 3 times in TLOU2. Bashing someone’s head in is the only way to proceed. The music gets more distorted, the screen itself becomes blurry – I felt as Ellie felt. Distraught, upset, angry, and everything else in between.
I felt the acceptance that I have been honing in my countless loops of Outer Wilds when I finally pulled the system’s “life support” out. Flying through space one last time while the music echoes this final journey really made me feel things.
I’d summarise the edge video games have as “This is what you (the player) have done. You have agency. Deal with the consequences of your own actions, or reap the benefits.”
A huge disclaimer, I know that the story is already established in the writers room. I’m not saying that games allow you to craft your own story. I’m saying that they allow you to craft your own experience.
Of course, great writers can accomplish the same. I love Atwood’s writing in particular, and she does conjure up wonderful emotions. But you always feel for someone or something. You don’t have any agency in what happens, so emotions tend to be dampened as well. That’s my personal opinion anyway, feel free to disregard it!
Every single time Adobe is mentioned, everyone rushes to mention GIMP. I’m convinced 90% of them have never even opened GIMP before.
You can’t even share much about this game without ruining it for someone else. I love this game so much but it’s really difficult to get someone else to play it as well.
I will pay even better money for a dragonborn’s tail to sit comfortably within the confines of my cloak
