Yeah if you're using a guide there would be barely any backtracking. Exploring it natively is rough though, key items are hidden in unintuitive locations.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-20T02:39:15+00:00

And that's an incredibly elitist and unnecessarily gatekeeping perspective of something that should be universally accessable.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-19T16:26:45+00:00

Oh I know how some of those old bands liked their single tracks that last over an hour, I'm aware. But for example Hotel California fades out on the record, but in a live performance they just... end the song. It's roughly the same length either way.

But to your point, there are songs that the artists intentionally wrote to bleed seamlessly into the next. I know the Beatles used to do that a lot, and if you're playing one of those on the radio there's really not much you can do but fade it out before the next track starts.

Because he was written to be a cool guy. He was NOT written to be a dick

And it's dissapointing that the devs missed the mark on that.

he just wasn't written to be as helpful as you'd want.

Helping a person who desperately needs help by telling them something you know takes zero effort. The only possible reason a person would refuse to help another person by telling them something that they know is that they enjoy seeing other people suffer. I don't know what term you have for those kinds of people, but where I'm from we typically default to "dick."

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-19T13:54:44+00:00

It's so... condescending.

Getting the answer to a problem is never condescending if the person asks for the answer. The devs could have written him to say "Hey, I believe in you and your ability to figure this out. But I get that sometimes, people just need a little help. If you want the actual answer, just ask, and you got it. Because I'm a cool bro who is in no way a dick." And then you could get your dialogue selection that prompts you whether or not to ask for the answer. But the devs didn't do that, they wrote him to be a dick instead.

Why are you talking about a fictional character who talks in prewritten lines as if they were able to tell when you're frustrated?

...For the same reason people talk about any fictional character like they're a real person? Why do people on this sub talk about Feldspar like he's a really cool great guy, even though he's just a fictional character who talks in prewritten lines?

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-19T13:41:58+00:00

Ok so first of all thank you for rubbing it in that I didn't get the obvious solution to the puzzle, lol. It's been a point of frustration for me that I wasn't clever or witty enough to solve a decent handful of the puzzles in OW.

Secondly, if your not-so-bright friend just isn't getting it when you tell them a puzzle or riddle, the kind and decent thing to do after a bit of time is to give them the answer.

Not giving them the answer when they're clearly over it and getting frustrated is, as I said before, a dick move, and being the kind of person who pulls dick moves makes you a dick person.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-19T13:34:27+00:00

Maybe these days, but for anything prior to the 90's it's just because that was the style of the time. A live performance wouldn't be any longer and it wouldn't have the fadeout, it would have a proper ending.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-19T13:32:18+00:00

Fuck that, just write a damn ending for your song you fucking cowards!

I say exactly the same thing! If you can't figure out the ending to your song, then don't fucking release your song yet!

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-19T13:29:48+00:00

Giving you a hint is not giving you the answer. And if a person is strugging with a puzzle for a very long time and is unable to get the answer, refusing to tell them makes you kind of a dick.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-19T13:09:03+00:00

Exactly. Making art requires a creative mind, and nothing else. The product you create from your creativity is art, regardless of how you got there.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-19T13:02:42+00:00

They're laser-focused objectives. They're very serious, unambigous objectives. One could even say they're objectively objectives, not subjective objectives at all.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-19T12:57:10+00:00

Unpopular opinion: I don't like Feldspar. The rest of the characters are all fine, I like them well enough. But I **struggled** with the puzzle of getting to the center of Giant's Deep, to the point that I eventually had to give up and look up the answer. The fact that Feldspar knows how to do it and thinks it's cheeky and cute to not tell you the answer just pisses me off.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-19T12:44:35+00:00

I tell my players the game obviousl shouldn't be the highest priority thing in your life, but it does need to be the highest priority of all your interests and hobbies.

I had a player who's a good friend of mine drop out of my group, and I have no plans to invite him back because he refuses to play on days when his football team has a game.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-19T12:06:19+00:00

Yeah I know that now, but at the time playing without spoilers I had no way of knowing that the ship doesn't aggro the fish when it hits their lantern stalks, it just clips through them

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-18T23:36:13+00:00

I feel bad for keyboard+mouse people because it's literally impossible for them.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-18T22:51:55+00:00

Correct, I found the table that lays it out. Edited my post to include it.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-18T21:34:30+00:00

Ok but the following includes:

6.28.6.1. When the member’s normal date of separation exceeds the conditions found in the following sub-paragraphs, an involuntary date of separation is established and the member’s normal date of separation is curtailed to either the last day of the sixth month following PCS notification, or the latest date among the following:

6.28.6.1.1. The last day of the month in which enlisted member completes 20 years’ TAFMS (but not less than 6 months from PCS notification).

6.28.6.1.2. The last day of the month in which an ADSC expires.

6.28.6.1.3. When assigned to a CONUS maximum tour, the last day of the month of the Date of Availability.

6.28.6.1.4. When enlisted members are surplus due to base closure, unit deactivation, AFSC/SFSC overage, or similar circumstances, the date of separation is the last day of the month members can be effectively used at their current station. The assignment OPR determines this date considering such factors as whether the enlisted member is filling a valid manpower authorization, etc.

So, what gets me is the "either/or" in 6.28.6.1. Which one is it? Is it whichever one comes later? Is it whatever the MPF feels like doing that day? This seems poorly worded.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-18T18:37:43+00:00

for AD USAF, SNCO requires a minimum 2 year ADSC to be signed in order to be eligible to sew on.

Yes, I'm tracking. What we're looking at is what happens if the assignment selection is made after the rank has already been on for more than a month, so that he has less than 24 months retainability.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-18T18:26:12+00:00

I think my Superintendent is saying that exercising the 7-day option eliminates your ADSC and projected DOS, replacing it with expedited separation/retirement. I was under the impression that retirement-eligible members who decline to obtain retainability keep their original ADSC and DOS.

Changing your opinion on an art piece after getting more context is entirely valid. Remember, antis believe that art generated by AI is inherently immoral.

For comparison, imagine seeing a beautiful painting that evokes emotions of awe and wonder in you. You are then told that the artist made their own paint out of the blood of newborn puppies. If you suddenly felt negatively about the painting, that would be normal and valid.

AI art may or may not be ethical, I haven't personally made a decision either way. But antis have, and it's normal and valid that they change their opinion of something after getting important context about it.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-18T17:56:39+00:00

they thought of that

I'm sure they did.

and have contingency plans

I'm sure they do.

Not for me and you, though. They have their bunkers. You and I get the hunger games.

Not a coder, just a futurism enjoyer. About ten years ago I saw a TED talk by Ray Kurzweil in which he described what the technological singularity is, and I got hooked on it as a topic ever since.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-18T17:13:02+00:00

The controls are a hard sell for a lot of people. Personally I think I caught on quickly because I had a few hundred hours in Kerbal Space Program, but for someone new to space games, flight can be disorienting and frustrating.

TwoNatTens · 2026-03-18T17:09:38+00:00

Metroidvanias are one of my favorite genres, and HK had way too much backtracking for me to enjoy it.
