i guess i'm better at visual stuff, i beat opus including the dlc ones, but I never got more than midway through TIS-100

i really like shenzhen i/o because i'm a programmer and it has a more fun(?) aesthetic than TIS-100

but it makes me feel like a loving toolbox when i spend hours to get a solution that turns out to be wildly suboptimal

truly it's me, the terrible programmer in a forum full of them

(e) love opus magnum too but for some reason i have a lot of trouble remembering the symbols

i've never beaten a zachtronics game can u tell?

unfortunately tomorrow i will be busily killing innocent beasts and making weapons and armor out of their flesh, bones and organs

but for today i think i'll get on with shenzhen, feels nice to turn my programmer brain back on

Didn't opus not show global leaderboards until you'd completed everything? I liked that a lot, otherwise you just feel so poo poo

dont let me discourage you, every single zachtronics game has been at least good if not great

the histograms for opus magnum i'm getting look a lot less awful :v:

(also this one better have the solution-to-gif feature or something like it because how loving satisfying is it to see this)

Hot tip: start your arm at the end, over the out hole and you can avoid the whole machine pausing for 2 frames at the end. Also it looks smoother!
