  “They express their gratitude and end the conversation” which I believe is a synonym of “quest completed, here’s you reward!”

  Wonderful.

  The Solid Snake method of conversation has taken on meme status in recent years, as players noticed the Metal Gear icon simply repeated the last few words of anything anyone said to him as a question. As was discovered by ‘Hakkix’ on Reddit, you can do the same to game the NPCs in Where Winds Meet. If someone asked you, say, to “Find the buried treasure chest,” you’d respond by saying, “The buried treasure chest?” and so on. Eventually, the NPC gets so confused that they express their gratitude and end the conversation. Whether that’s due to confusion or exasperation is unclear, but the effect is the same.

  I finally started Little Nightmares and I’m loving-hating it.

  I didn’t know I’d get so easily scared by the grotesque ambience it has, but damn.

  Taking lots of breaks to breathe so it’s taking forever!

  It is a baby colossal squid. Only one foot long now, but the article mentions “they can reach lengths of 23 ft.”

  Starting Little Nightmares today… orrr at some point this week, depending on Life™️.

  Actively, I’m on my second Baldur’s Gate 3 run. Recently made it to act 3 and I couldn’t be more excited about rearranging Gortash bones with my monk.

  Also playing Disco Elysium and enjoying it so much. However, I feel it requires dedication or else you lose track of what you’ve got to do, which is a struggle for me.

  Got two more games on the “paused” pile, but I won’t say which ones to avoid awakening the shame neurone because the pause has lasted a whole year.

  I agree… At least the article does mention comments saying it does work with Proton!

  Is it spooky but hopeful, or spooky and dark?

  I’ve read “Lovecraftian creatures” and now I am worried haha

  “Welcome to Arcadia! A 70’s retro-futuristic metropolis where all its citizens enjoy a life of luxury and comfort… unaware that they’re being broadcast live 24/7!”

  This sounds great. I had no idea it existed.

  Thank you!

  I got the audiobook and I couldn’t finish it. I just couldn’t. I felt so much anger.

  But what I managed to get through was fantastic. The part about public transport during winter was so eye opening.
