The only think I remember about Digimon is that one of them turns into a Valkyrie bondage woman or something as one of her forms

do you redirect the lasers through windows into colour-coded holes to open laser doors

gently caress, I figured out that puzzle before Mary solved it and it felt good, maybe I should buy the Witness

I was stuck on this puzzle for a while and accidentally stumbled upon this solution

gehenna's really good. it's honestly not amazingly difficult but most of the puzzles are like C-level hard. Most of them have some unique quirk that you wouldn't see in the base game which is cool.

Speaking of, I started playing the Witness recently while waiting for XCom2 to get patched and that game is just not drawing me in at all. Most of the puzzles range from good to legitimately clever and only a few have been frustrating for a reason other than difficulty, but the lack of any real hints towards what the hell is going on or why you're on this island means I'm doing most of the puzzles just to do them. And while they're fun, at a certain point I just get bored and go do something else. Hoping some more interesting stuff starts happening soon because the handful of audio logs I found so far were pretty bad. The one on top of the laser mountain that goes on for like 5 solid minutes was insufferably pretentious. Should've just played an audio recording of Carl Sagan's pale blue dot and gotten the same message across in a more interesting way and half the time.

Still liking the game overall and still gonna keep playing it, but just am not seeing where all the "easy GOTY contender" talk about it is coming from. Maybe it's because I just played Talos Principle like a month and a half ago so I'm still expecting the Witness to be more like that.

Mary Kish is now watching a Tarkovsky film, this is loving amazing

Edit: And James Burke is my homeboy, I think this has definitely convinced me to get this game. After I beat XCOM2. And Rise of the Tomb Raider. And Legacy of the Void. But definitely before Witcher 3

The difference between GB and Gamespot's management can be summed up thusly:

Jeff: "Nah, we don't want a flag in Rocket League, seems kinda like a weird conflict of interest?"

Gamespot: "HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKER PUT THAT poo poo IN WE NEED THE EXPOSURE OH GOD PLEASE HELP US"

It is very good but it can get painfully uncomfortable to watch, especially if social awkwardness makes you squirm

we got you a pass and everything, you will be on the front row of the ubisoft presentation sat next to steampunk rear end creed man.

the condition of getting that pass is that you need to refer to all conferences as 'pressers' henceforth and you must also wear only plaid shirts, boring dad jeans when on the show floor.

my friend who lives in LA went to E3 last year by borrowing someone else's pass but he got kicked out when he got to some checkpoint where they actually looked at the photo on the pass and noticed it wasn't him lol

he got to play Street Fighter 5 which was all he wanted so it worked out for him
