- Comment on Is there any (single player playable) game under $10 or equivalent which has made you point any go "ha" or given you an equivalent feeling because it was that enjoyable for every moment you played it? 5 days ago:
The second Ori game’s story is so good and absolutely had me and my wife bawling during it
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 6 days ago:
Wow, that’s very fast imo. Good for you!
Great randomizer out there for it. And it’s Archipelago compatible so you can mix it in with other randomizers alone or with friends, in case you want more!

They also introduced Watcher late. No guarantee the 4 characters here are the only characters
- Comment on I feel so much better now that I also have a skill to show off on the internet 1 week ago:
Yeah, I guess the assumption it takes is that there aren’t larger topographic changes for the other legs between their points, and that the legs are equal length. But I like it, it’s a fun one I’m trying next time

Your title is hilarious

Absolutely, if you’re serious about sensory science!
At the large craft brewery I worked in we trained on like… ~40 attributes? Weekly usually, with taste panel and impromptu trainings most every day.
- Comment on Petrichor 4 weeks ago:
Yup! I know, I was an expert taster at a large brewery :)
It was fun! And a little bit ruined some beer for me.
- Comment on Petrichor 4 weeks ago:
It’s also an off flavor that tasters train for in beer, from water inclusion. It’s not good for beer but I don’t mind the smell at all
Very beet-flavored to me
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 5 weeks ago:
Kauai Coffee is a relatively large operation that exports to the continental US and is more like $9 retail (and perpetually on sale for $7.50 or so) for a 10oz bag in the grocery store.
It’s not cheap coffee, but it’s certainly not top of the line priced coffee.
They do make some coffees that are more than $25/lb, but not the "regular* stuff people would buy in a store.
Of course I agree that their price will go up with the market with tariffs introduced, and that in general the tariffs are a terrible, terrible idea.

I feel the same, I’ve had a bunch of pixels since the 2
I’m going to be buying a Fairphone 5 when my current pixel needs replacing, which is coming soonish

Wanna explain it for my friend who doesn’t get it?
- Comment on My wacky indie game has reached 6000 wishlists, I made this meme to explain how it feels 2 months ago:
Hey, I’m one of those wishlisters!
I’m excited to see it. Your inspiration games are great (anything that says similar to Outer Wilds is going on the wishlist, basically), and I’m looking forward to your narrative. I haven’t played the demo yet and was going to go in blind.
Cheers man, hope it is okay for your work life balance soon enough.

I’m an idiot, no clue how I missed that

It’s somehow not on the list? That’s actually unbelievable
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 2 months ago:
Yeah, a truck would make me feel better. It’s definitely a risk to move it myself uninsured. For comparison, looks like post tax prices delivered of ~14-18% more in Denmark than the US where we are.
That’s a fair bit, but I’m not sure we’re in the market to try this hard to save a few hundred dollars in such a massive move. I lean towards selling, especially once we packed a big suitcase and it went VERY quick with stuff we love lol
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 2 months ago:
Very very little to move. Just what we can carry onto planes basically. Hoping to stay in a spot for many years, but you never know. The packaging is a good idea, I should price compare properly
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 2 months ago:
Oh that’s a great call. I’ll have to look and find the balance here between ship and buy.
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 2 months ago:
Great suggestion, I think making them ready to play might be the move
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 2 months ago:
They’re not super old, we’ve got some pics and such we like obviously. Maybe ~100 gigs total of “important files” but it sounds nice to have “my computer” back when I arrive?

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
- Comment on Frostpunk 2: Review Thread 2 months ago:
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.

Ah that could be. Either way, $23 isn’t the max
- Comment on Aldi announces wage increases up to $23 an hour; hiring thousands of employees 2 months ago:
It reads like the minimum went from $18 to $23. So the minimum is up from $18, to $23.

That’s a great article. I like the answer to the 90 tick marks:

- Comment on Cords 3 months ago:
The real way is a generator inlet, which is a male plug that’s interlocked with the main. So the cord ends up being a normal male/female cord
- Comment on U.K. might follow Europe in fining employers who message staff after-hours 3 months ago:
My company (24/7 production plant) has a culture of having Do Not Disturb on after hours and email/Teams really being us for “you’ll see this tomorrow”. It’s great! Takes some unlearning on new people coming in, with that and fully unplugging for PTO
