I think the puzzles have been clever but not devilish so far, but I’m only maybe 10-15% through them. In the first game the truly hard / mind bending stuff was realizing you needed to solve some harder puzzles by “breaking” the puzzles and getting items out of them and such. So far that dimension hasn’t shown up as much, but it’s early and knowing these developers they have some proper challenges in the game for people who want them.

It’s the “living on Null street” problem of the future

Talos Principle 2 is just… wow. It’s been years since I played the first game and it’s remarkable how fast the sequel was able to get me back in the space of “I’m here to solve puzzles and argue philosophy…”. Everything I loved about Talos Principle has been polished or expanded, and the way the writers somehow managed to get me to accept that we need to solve a bunch of puzzles to advance the plot - AGAIN - is impressive.

I’m so happy the game is this good.

Lmao I’ve only seen this toy in Korean memes where people print them super sized and instead of the blade it has a phone holder. I had no idea it was supposed to be a knife blade.

That is to say, the Korean youth already has the ridicule of this story covered.

I bought a 3rd party dock but soon realized it doesn’t pass ARC signals over HDMI… so when the dock is plugged into my receiver it fucks up all the auto-power on and volume control stuff. I believe the official dock has this supported in its firmware.

alley address???

natural ambergris is foraged from coastlines, not harvested from whales.

I think the giant default subs are the same but I’ve definitely noticed less activity on my smaller niche interest subs (the whole point of reddit for me) since the apps shut down.

I love this controller but I find I need to use its phone app to swap the button config from Switch to PC each time I go between, which is annoying. maybe i’m doing it wrong.

To this day RL is the only game I play with a claw grip for exactly this reason lol.

building your economic empire is definitely my favorite thing about the X series. X4F was pretty weak when I played it on release but I’ve heard it’s much better after a few years of updates.
