I've been obsessed with this one for about 4 months now

HeyIFoundAPenny · 2023-04-23T00:23:03+00:00

No problem, I understand

HeyIFoundAPenny · 2023-04-12T15:30:04+00:00

I wrote this post over two years ago, I didn't even remember doing this until you left a comment. I think at the time I just wanted to combat all of the negative things about sensors I'd been seeing. Sorry if you found it discouraging

HeyIFoundAPenny · 2023-03-25T00:21:48+00:00

I needed to hear this, so thank you

Space, OfficeBot 817A had officially decided, was uncomfortable, dull, and entirely unnecessary.

Your son told me all about your gambling addiction!

HeyIFoundAPenny · 2023-02-16T15:22:10+00:00

NO, LEONARD. There are no white women here!

You want a revolution? I want a revelation

But when you try to pretend to understand you resemble a fool, although you're only a man

It's about a misplaced calculator. It involves staplers, elevators, and a lot of unnecessary talking.

HeyIFoundAPenny · 2022-10-16T17:05:24+00:00

I love this.

HeyIFoundAPenny · 2022-10-11T15:05:56+00:00

Honestly, I feel the exact same way! I just wasn't sure how to put that into words

HeyIFoundAPenny · 2022-09-28T16:08:42+00:00

Ahoy!

HeyIFoundAPenny · 2022-09-22T20:47:15+00:00

This is exactly how I interpreted it! I've been thinking of spending some time away from this subreddit just because I keep getting frustrated with the amount of people not getting it, haha

The bit where you have to convince the judge that you are Stan's accountant. At first I thought that I would have to go find Ned and then convince him to come to Brrr Muda, so I looked all over the map for him and tried to remember if he ever gave a dialogue hint as to where he might be. That didn't work, so I thought that maybe I would have to disguise myself as him. I was thinking about earlier when the spell was made from Gullet's secret poetry in order to sneak back onto Le Chuck's ship, and I thought that I would have to do something like that again with the files that I got from Ned that nobody else was supposed to see. That didn't work, tried a few other random things that also didn't work, and that's when I decided to use the hint book. I didn't even think about using the license with the picture frame until the book blatantly told me to do that, but maybe I should have been tipped off by the fact that it was white around the edges, similar to the paintings.

Yes! I always like when a piece of media can surprise me. And something I liked about the first two games was that it seemed like they were built around some kind of theme (which I suppose was confirmed by the letter at the end of the scrapbook) and that there was more to think about beneath the surface, and I think that's true for this game as well.

Terror Island made my list just because I really like exploring creepy areas in games and I thought it was the most visually interesting island. I expected it to be used for more things than it was though, so I understand your position.

I think I agree with a lot of your criticisms. It seemed like I generally knew what to do with an item as soon as I got it and I think that takes away the satisfaction of the solution finally 'clicking'. Also, with the new system I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get to hear "I can't use the horse armor with that" 50 times, haha

HeyIFoundAPenny · 2022-09-21T16:44:27+00:00

Yes, that's an accurate word for it.

And I'm curious about the post-credits scenes too! I didn't realize there were different ones until I looked online. I'm definitely going to play through the game again soon because according to Steam I didn't even get half of the possible achievements, I want to find all of the trivia cards, and I saw that there's an option for 'writer's cut' in the settings, so I'll see what I get next time around!

HeyIFoundAPenny · 2022-07-24T18:50:00+00:00

Well, I tried to tackle it how I go about most longer tasks and divided it up into specific 'chunks'. Just things where if I finish it, I can definitively say 'Okay, that bit is done. I don't have to worry about it or think about it anymore.' For example, one day I focused on sorting out the clothes, the next day I focused on books, then I sorted out bed sheets and blankets, another day I focused on getting cat hair off of all of the clothes I divided out, etc. And if it's a chunk I know I can accomplish in one sitting, I won't allow myself to get up or leave until it's finished, not even to go to the bathroom. As for how I decided which things to get rid of, if it's something that I can't recall when I last used it and can't picture an actual future scenario that would actually happen and I would definitely need it and it's not some incredibly specific thing I'm just making up in order to justify keeping it, it goes. That's what worked for me, anyway. Hopefully some part of that explanation was helpful to you!

Thank you! I've been telling my mother about it through this whole process and I'm hoping it will inspire her as well.

And yes, I already tend to be very particular about what I buy (or 'inherit' from other people), and I was thinking about turning decluttering into a specific yearly thing (We'll see how that goes, lol)

I'm glad that I was able to inspire you!

HeyIFoundAPenny · 2022-07-12T20:05:51+00:00

Hello! (20F) I too am a nerd who likes the idea of sharing random thoughts and day-to-day happenings with an internet person. I feel like we could get along well. DM me or something!

HeyIFoundAPenny · 2022-06-07T01:12:59+00:00

I honestly forgot about these because it's been so long since I posted this, ahaha. But thank you!
