I think I have this game and just haven’t played it! Will definitely go in blind.

I’m still trying to chase that feeling with games today, but there aren’t many that are confident enough to challenge us in the same way.

I love that “peak of mount Everest” moment when you truly feel like you’ve “beaten” a game rather than “finished” it.

Don’t worry, I can go stupider.

Pretty high up in productivity per working hour though!

A genuine self-report, lol

After some unproductive googling, here’s a random guess. The cover art style doesn’t really match (not sure if the inside is different), but it has a deep sea diver and a lady underwater, who I can only assume is the “Ghost Queen”

People use it as slang for doing something in the most basic way without protection/assistance/augmentation, etc.

Pretty much just like the lady in the comic.

The new responsibilities, the crying, the diapers for a few years, the chaos, the messy house, etc. can definitely be a hassle, but it’s just so damned rewarding that all of that feels like a drop in the bucket to me.

I’ve described it to people before as like winning the lottery. Yeah, it would be annoying to have to go turn in the ticket, go to the bank quite a few times, probably hire a money manager and sit through a lot of boring calls and appointments about your accounts for the rest of your life, hire a lawyer to manage your will/estate, etc., but when compared to how much you’ve gained, you wouldn’t even really care about that, you know?

My kids.

It sounds cheesy, but I’m acutely aware that I’m experiencing the best years of my life right now - the ones that I’ll look back on with strong nostalgia for the rest of my life. Life is amazing, and I’m grateful for every day.

While drawing diagrams that don’t actually help anything but keep your attention like a cat watching a laser-pointer?

Ah yes, the scientific process.

Big brain move.

Although something tells me that this might be slightly harder on lemmy.

My inbox has been almost 100% forearms for 24 hours, and it’s still going.

Maybe they spun up the Matrix in '99 for real.

The chosen one!

All the best freckles move.

Generational secret

I thought that was weird too. I had to reverse image search to make sure I gave credit.
