I feel like there were entire areas that I missed initially (like The Hive) because I didn't swing at the correct breakable walls. These were optional areas, but it still felt weird to hide so many of them behind breakable walls that you could easily miss.

Other things I can think of off the top of my head that felt pretty non-obvious:

Going to the abyss after finishing the White Palace because there's a new area that opens up
Getting the abyssal scream upgrade or whatever it's called by standing on the pedastal and using the spell
Getting the charm in the abyss that requires you to have like 14 lifeblood hearts
Also totally missed the fact that you were supposed to dream nail the Hollow Knight, but I guess it seems obvious in retrospect

Some of the stuff in this game feels too hidden. After around 85%, I had to start looking things up...this was especially true of the two DLCs, which I probably never would have discovered.

Also I hate whoever decided it was necessary for certain characters to make obnoxious noises CONSTANTLY. I now slightly regret getting all 40 charms.

Still, pretty great game. 8/10

Might as well ask now. Is the "end-game" actually a continuation of the story or basically just a glorified boss gauntlet challenge?


Somehow it's both

Lol

Is it worth it?


I would say no, but that's because I wiped 3 hours into the end game and lost all of that progress since you can't save. Ended up returning it to the person I was borrowing it from without beating it.

Yeah, I used to care a lot more about finishing games or going for 100%. I had a lot of games where I stopped playing for a while, but kept trying to get back into because I figured I needed to finish it.

Then I realized that I usually stopped playing because of lack of interest rather than lack of time.

I actually played through most of Octopath thinking it to be mediocre at best...for some reason I kept going until I got to the final boss. Then I got killed by a cheap shot after 3 hours of no save point, and it was a pretty great feeling to say "Well, fuck this game then" and put it down forever.

Oddly enough Korean people or older ones burn the ever loving shit out of meat when they cook it so this is fitting. My mother in law makes sure whatever shes cooking is drier than ghandis flipflops.

my wife likes her steaks well done

my in laws saw her well done steak the other night and expressed concern at the slight pinkness inside

meanwhile i eat my shit slightly rarer than usual when they visit just for their reactions

Oh yeah, I've heard of Snakebird and Stephen's Sausage Roll, but I've never played either. Something about the gameplay that I saw didn't quite appeal to me.

Paratroopa1 posted...
I think Baba Is You is like a 4 out of 5 puzzle game - there tends to be a limited number of things you can do in any puzzle and the more you play around with things the more you realize what you can do. I've beaten all but about 20 or so of the game's puzzles now with limited walkthrough help (I did have to a couple of times because for reasons that ended up being pretty understandable on levels that were blocking the entire rest of the game being open to me), it did take a while but eventually I made breakthroughs.


I think part of the difficulty is that there's a lot the game doesn't tell you in terms of how certain interactions work. There's a limited amount of things you can do sometimes, but sometimes it's not explicitly clear what all of those things are.

Also, man. I was still enjoying the show up until this episode. I feel like I was willing to suspend my disbelief up until now.

What was even the point of the ballistas if they literally don't matter at all? Why even make a big deal of Danerys' army being tired and cut down in number if they literally just needed a dragon? What a terrible conclusion to Jamie's arc, and what a ridiculous plan for Tyrion to set him free.

I will say that Qyburn's death was A+ though.

I guess the major reason why I get more annoyed by you, Tony (and don't get me wrong...I wouldn't bother arguing with my family if I didn't get annoyed by their world views), is because there doesn't seem like there is ANYTHING you find preferable about the Republican party compared to the Democrats. As xp's post points out, even if you dislike Biden (or Hillary in 2016), there are a TON of reasons why having a Democrat in the White House is superior to literally any Republican. At least with centrists, as much as it pisses me off, the Republican platform benefits them in some way (as Cyclo condescendingly points out, the status quo doesn't negatively affect THEM), so at least by questioning the direction the party is going, they're not actively sabotaging their own best interests.


I'm pretty sure Tony has never argued what you're saying.

The two main arguments are:
1. Biden will not advance things in a meaningful/beneficial way
2. Biden stands a greater chance of not winning the general because he's not a particularly inspiring candidate outside of not being Trump

Not a huge fan of Tokyo, but it does have some amazing cocktail bars.

I recommend checking out Bar Benfiddich and Gen Yamamoto if that's your kinda thing. The latter requires reservations, and the former is small enough and now well-known enough that you probably want to go right around when it opens or late in the night.

Do they have any VintageGin?


Actually yeah, I believe they do.

I'm not questioning your hot scientist wife but interestingly enough I asked a friend to post the shroom their facebook and another mutual friend replied and she ID'd it as a Green Spore, Claiming that a Shaggy has snake skin texture. Shes an outdoorsy cowgirl who hunts and takes care of farm animals and stuff

I found it interesting because its outdoorsy experience and SCIENCE giving me two answers lol


It could be. She did start to second-guess herself because she said the texture wasn't as scaly as most shaggy manes are, but that could also be because it's younger.

If you wait until it gets older and starts to die, the edges will turn black and liquefy if it's a shaggy mane. Looking it up, I don't think a green spore does that.

My wife works in a mycology lab. She says the mushroom is probably a shaggy mane, which is edible. But it's hard to 100% confirm from that photo so I wouldn't go eating it or anything.

If it starts to self-digest (liquefy) as it gets older, that would be further confirmation.

However, there's a chance that it's a different mushroom. It's hard to tell without seeing better pictures that show the size, underside, or other mushrooms in various stages of the lifecycle.

Do you have any pictures of the underside? Usually the gills are used in identification. But it might still not be enough to identify the exact species.
