I think the crime is just murder. You're supposed to know that from the start, I thought. Might be totally wrong though, and it isn't murder at all. I haven't gone back to that game.

It could be! I understand that there's a missing person maybe? But most of my time has been spent on some super weird childhood backstory stuff that hasn't tied into anything at all just yet.
I mean I think it's a super neat approach to crime procedurals, I just didn't realize how totally open-ended this whole thing is.
Also I have to say, it's not very engaging-slash-fun but the acting and premise are enough to keep me going for now.
There's no Her Story thread is there? I want to compare notes.
Not on figuring out the story, just want people to post the notes they took while working it out
My notes:
Eve- Has a tattoo
When she was born, Florence took her home, told her mother that this one died.
Could not get pregnant after trying to follow her sister.
Eventually got pregnant with Simon, told Hannah it was with someone else
Hannah found out?, had a fight, hannah got a bruise
Tried to call Hannah, she was more important than simon
Hanah ? - Suspect's twin.
Became pregnant, her sister could not.
Sarah - Daughter? abortion?
Simon Smith - Husband? May be in custody for crime/ murdered. Obvious that she knew who he was when they met.
Brought Eve back to her parents house to prove they were twins, they had sex at the house and Eve got pregnant. Did not tell Simon
He was married when they met, she didn't know(Eve or hannah?). Married to Hannah. Plays games on amstrad

Simon and Eve, go back to Simon's house and Eve gets pregnant

3pm, Eve walks in and finds Simon dead, Hannah behind him in the wig, in shock.bab
Eve and Hannah decided the Baby was what mattered. Got rid of mirror and clothes, hid the body in the cellar. Broke a watch for the alibi.
Alibi(
Argument between Hannah and Simon, Hannah drove off.
Hannah ended up in Glasgow
Slept in the car and came straight back, Simon wasn't returning calls and wasn't at the house.

The work on adventurer composition led into finalizing the new written content generally and making sure I had handled all of the promises I'd made to various people over the last few months. Philosophical study opens up different avenues of discussion that allow people to pass their values to both individual readers and to a lesser extent through the underlying civilization when there's a library with a copy. This doesn't impact specific ethics yet, so you won't have to worry that an elf-written book will make all your dwarves start eating dead bodies, but such a thing is now threatened for a later date by these changes. Poetry written in certain poetic forms can currently spread values before philosophers come up with specific language that can be used in prose, though not all civilizations will have such traditions.
Dwarf Fortress is still a going concern. I wonder what else has changed.

Oh hey, that's the Dredmor people. Guess I'll put that on my watchlist.
Continuing with the Ulysses analogy: It becomes much easier to understand if you read Anthony Burgess' book, "Re-Joyce" while you're reading it. Same thing with DF, it becomes easier if you use PeridexisErrant's Lazy Newb pack.

Her Story seems like it has a really interesting story, executed really well, but I got absolutely no enjoyment out of interacting with it, sadly. That being said, I hope it does really well for the developer and they keep making stuff like it, because while it's not something I want to engage in myself, I 100% want more stuff like it to exist.

Hotel Dusk prepared me for Device 6.
How jump-scary is Year Walk? I have trouble dealing with that stuff.

Spoilers for a major gameplay mechanic that hasn't been properly revealed
Anyone who was there that one night for Forza can attest to the fact that I can't even drive in a straight line.
It could be! I understand that there's a missing person maybe? But most of my time has been spent on some super weird childhood backstory stuff that hasn't tied into anything at all just yet.
I mean I think it's a super neat approach to crime procedurals, I just didn't realize how totally open-ended this whole thing is.
Also I have to say, it's not very engaging-slash-fun but the acting and premise are enough to keep me going for now.

Dwarf Fortress is still a going concern. I wonder what else has changed.

I can't play this game
if I play this game and it clicks I will die

I think there was a point in time where it could've
At this point Minecraft has too much inertia

even with a better interface probably not, as much as a more accessible Eve Online wouldn't really change what makes it magic also making it niche

Ugh.
Dwarf Fortress is like, the Ulysses of video games or something.
Clockwork Empires beats them out I think.
Which is to say when I played DF I did the equivalent of giving up a few pages in.
Oh hey, that's the Dredmor people. Guess I'll put that on my watchlist.

My notes were just
I reeeeeeally liked Her Story, by the by. That a story can feel that dense, detailed, and intricate, while ALSO feeling completely open-ended and approachable from so many different angles, is fucking insaaaaaaane. Really, truly excellent experience.
I still found it just as fascinating when it unfolded
Her Story seems like it has a really interesting story, executed really well, but I got absolutely no enjoyment out of interacting with it, sadly. That being said, I hope it does really well for the developer and they keep making stuff like it, because while it's not something I want to engage in myself, I 100% want more stuff like it to exist.
Here's the first race results.
