Yeah I'm kinda torn on using skips because I feel like I'm gonna skip past a floor that I shouldn't

Yeah I'm starting to want this to be over. I feel like I have no idea how close I am to the end, but the idea of going through 200+ floors again doesn't really inspire me to play more.

Well I powered through and finished the run with Lillie. I managed to brute force one of the brand answers by translating it, which I'm not sure was the intended solution, but it worked. Although all that really got me was a clue about manipulating digits.

Now I guess I'm supposed to do stuff with Cif? This game is very long.

Oh that one is annoying. You need to get the bulls? (gorillas?) lined up above and below their respective buttons and put a pit in the middle to keep the left creature on its button once it's there.

Whoops, I mistyped and meant Mon, since the note said "Mon was here". Got mixed up since the eggs in the next few rooms started talking about Tan.

Slowly chipping away at the Lillie playthrough. I kinda can't believe it's possible to solve these puzzles without the sword and wings. I still have to look up a bunch of answers.

Found a clue about Tan. Seems like I need to be on certain floors with a certain number of locusts? Guessing the infinity brand might prevent this from working properly.

Yeah, I had the same question when OT2 came out. OT1 has the dubious honor of being the worst game I've spent 100 hours on. Based on what people said about OT2, I decided to skip.

@Gin No, I you don't need to do anything in Lillie's run technically. You can finish the whole game with Gray.

Huh. Ok.

Alright now I have a question following the tail puzzle.

I killed Euf's remnant and saw the broken seal, but when I restarted I still couldn't draw it. Did I need to finish the game with Lillie after killing snek?

I tried inputting them at the start screen but it didn't do anything, I don't know what else to do with them. I saw a floor that contains the pattern of the first mural but I don't know what it means

The floor you saw wasn't exactly the same as the mural. There's an extra piece.

Okay I have a question for people who have beaten or are further in the game than I am. I'm like 8 hours in and I am on my second playthrough after getting the ending where I'm voided. I'm pretty sure I need to beat the game without being void now and I'm just using a list of puzzle solutions I found online. How did other people do this? Because the game requires you to lose your infinite locusts halfway through, you could die at any time and have to start over, and there was no way I had either the patience OR skill to do it without just looking up a guide, even though I had already done these puzzles before. What did other people do here?? I'm pretty decent at sokoban puzzles, so I'm kinda baffled that people didn't lose their minds on this

You missed something important that allows you to bypass that requirement.

Hint: You need to take another look at the murals, in particular the non-broken ones.

It might be better not to use infinity but I think it's ok where you are. You def want to use the others.

I hate that you need to put them in twice. It's just for confirmation as far as I can tell. Honestly you should be able to just toggle them from the sides of the screen. But AutoHotkey does the job pretty well.

Well I'm playing on Steam Deck so not sure if AHK is an option for Linux (I've also never used it before).

But yeah, weird that they don't let you just toggle them from the sides since they are right there.

You're far enough that if you're sick of the puzzles, you should definitely make sure you get all the powerups to make the game much faster.

I have infinity, memory, wings, and sword if that's what you mean.

Though I am kinda wondering if I shouldn't be using infinity.

Also making you enter each of those twice seems kinda dumb/annoying, but maybe there's a reason for that?

I loved and hated Void Stranger. I rage quit a lot, but I always came back to it and felt it was worth the effort... though I did wind up spoiling way too much, as there's no way to look up an answer to certain things without getting more information than you want. Wouldn't recommend the game to anyone because it's so frustrating, but I did love it. Mostly.

Yeah, I have accidentally spoiled a bit too much for myself like you mentioned.

I like sokoban puzzles, but I don't love them. I've basically decided that if a puzzle has taken me 10 minutes and I'm not that invested in it, I just look up the answer.

I just started the Lillie section of the game. If I weren't so intrigued by the non-sokoban elements of the game I'd probably have dropped it by now.

I recently picked this up because I saw some comparisons to Outer Wilds.

And while I can see why people draw that comparison, goddamn is this gameplay tedious.

I'm so torn because I'm really enjoying basically everything that isn't the core gameplay.

Isn't Netrunner still kinda maintained by the fanbase? I guess it's harder to find players, but I did play it with a friend a year or so ago. Pretty cool asymmetrical gameplay.

Scorching hot take: Cardgames are better when the resource you fight over is literal board positioning over mana. The game Duelyst died because of mismanagement, but its idea of grid-based combat was a brilliant way of controlling ramp in a consistent resource environment by limiting the amount of ways an opponent could leverage it with smart positioning.

I really enjoyed how Faeria handled this. I think that game died off primarily because its games ran longer, but the positional/board development element is probably the best I've seen in a game.

I also initially chose not to delete because I wanted to go back and finish stuff.

However, after a few days of thinking it over, I decided that was foolish and went back and made the right choice.

and since Magic's combat system is inherently defender-favored (one of the best parts of it), a mechanic that shakes up combat math so much is a neat treat.

Wait but banding also favors defense since you only need one creature with banding for blocks to control how the damage from an attacking creature is assigned.

The tea that Nio is referring to is (Yujacha). If you can't find it at the Korean market, it's available online. But it's fairly common.

I can't speak to its efficacy for dealing with a sore throat though.
