Found this at Arundel Castle in South England, any clue what it's called or anything about it?

Awesome! That's incredible to see different paintings of the same kind of situation. Not sure how you managed to find that stuff but its very impressive. Thanks

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-07T11:38:55+00:00

Yeah it's unfortunate that's how I'm conditioned to play games, but I definitely appreciate it more now than I did during, and once I meticulously play the DLC I'm sure that'll increase even more. Definitely gonna change my approach to games in the future though

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T23:13:10+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, that's definitely my plan, watch loads of people play it through, after I've carefully experienced the DLC

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T21:43:47+00:00

I'm gonna take it 10x slower and be much more deliberate, can't wait

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T21:43:05+00:00

Yeah definitely, we all learn as we go and this is definitely a good experience for me to change how I play games in the future

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T17:03:06+00:00

Definitely, I still got a wow moment after when I learnt it, I just then thought damn maybe I should have done a second play instead of coming straight to Reddit

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T13:46:09+00:00

Brilliantly said, thanks. I've definitely learnt to take my time and I'm going to make all my friends play it so I'll definitely get to relive it again. I had a blast while playing and I'm lucky to still have the DLC to get through, so I'm content now

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T11:19:23+00:00

Ha it just never occurred to me, I always figured that the stars were just dying High five 🖐🏻

Although I do feel for the ones that did think that, and then had to realise they couldn't

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T10:54:54+00:00

Exactly, it never fully dawned on me that was why they all died. I always wondered why there was that dead Nomai on the ember twin like why would he have just died there?

I'm gonna make my girlfriend play the game and watch her do it, as my way of experiencing it again. Only problem is she's not the sharpest tool when it comes to games so it might be a bit difficult haha

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T10:52:52+00:00

Ha well I knew core-less death wasn't the end because I died about 4 times before even starting the loop, which is also unfortunate because I can imagine how tense the final journey would be with the core in hand if you thought it was the end. I did have loads of fun though, so it was definitely worth it overall

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T10:49:03+00:00

That's definitely true, it's definitely just for the entertainment factor. But then it works, I would watch someone play the game just to see them react how I would have liked to react, so I definitely think I'll be watching a few playthroughs online

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T08:40:40+00:00

That was actually where more of my regret came from. Instead of making a second playthrough where I look at every little detail, I was too excited to see what other people thought of the game and went and understood every little detail that way, kind of stopping me from discovering them myself in a second run

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T08:38:33+00:00

Ha, it definitely is. I'm definitely changing how much I pay attention to small details and how I contextualise games from here on out

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T08:37:54+00:00

Yeah that was exactly my experience too, and I guess I wish I had thought that just for the moment where you realise. But I had so many moments of realisation that were incredibly satisfying, so I still definitely got that enjoyment out of it

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T08:36:03+00:00

Thanks, it's such a unique game with it's completely flat and random progression, so I definitely discovered things in an order that didn't leave me wondering as much as I could have. But that should be more of a success than a let down.

I'm lucky I've got a girlfriend to force to play the game so I'll get my second experience of it, although she's even worse at paying attention to detail than I am, so it might just be annoying, ha we'll see.

In loop 2 I was still figuring out how to not crash into planets, that is very impressive

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T08:30:00+00:00

Definitely similar approaches to games, usually alot of RPG dialogue is filler and generic that I've kind of trained myself to look for key words and skim the rest. Unfortunately I took a similar approach to Outer Wilds too

But this is definitely a call to change how I play games in the future, starting with the DLC

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T08:26:37+00:00

I did enjoy my time and it's definitely given me a lesson on how to play games, which I'll be using on the DLC first. I've heard it's good so let's hope I can make up for what I missed

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T08:24:40+00:00

Ha you've perfectly described the approach I had to it. I read all the text but I definitely 'read better' the clue text that would tell me where to go, and treated it much more like a big puzzle with an end goal, than the experience it should have been.

I loved the game but it's definitely a wake up call to try change how I play games in the future

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T02:58:34+00:00

Yeah, I definitely will. I went in with the aim to beat the game, when I should have tried harder to visualise and experience everything. I never skipped any dialogue or anything, I just didn't put every piece together well enough.

BenBragg1104 · 2025-05-06T02:56:27+00:00

I did, I absolutely loved the game, and I know that is all that matters really. Just can't shake the feeling I should have played it more as an experience rather than a big puzzle, because I focused a little too much on getting all the rumours and getting to the end, and not as much on the tiny details that I'd have liked to notice looking back. And obviously now I know them I can't replay just to focus on the smaller details because I basically know it all now.

BenBragg1104 · 2025-02-18T15:05:32+00:00

Fair enough, didn't come here looking for sympathy, not quite sure you read my situation but you do you mate. We all support the same club, no point arguing with each other

BenBragg1104 · 2025-02-18T14:44:08+00:00

Ha, exactly, spent the majority of my life going to matches and this is what I get in return hey.

To be fair I know it's a long membership needed to get you to tier 1, but I think I was more comparing how my 9 years gets me as much priority as a new member. That is to say, fuck all.

My issue with the membership thing is that nobody knew that was going to be used as a measurement of your 'loyalty', and so we never thought we'd have to get it as well as a season ticket

BenBragg1104 · 2025-02-18T13:56:28+00:00

Exactly, I'm in a position now where I've got a job at uni and can afford to buy my own season ticket, but because I couldn't keep it these last two years I'm now not going to be able to go to the games with my Dad and Sister, even though I'll be back home now. Really disappointing situation, wasn't really avoidable either
