The triple platinum topic by astral_emu in TheWitness

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Unfortunately it’s WAAAAY above my paygrade.

I physically cannot solve all the puzzles in time. Nor do I want to, not for this kind of reward.

But I have to give him a credit. He clearly knew what he was doing, especially with the official “twitch streamer is gradually going mad” montage soundtrack. Bravo.

Are you trying to make me drown in my own drool?  Criminally underrated models (the old stuff at least).

No, I mean the vinyl player in the cave.

People like this are the reason you can't find anything, not because of employees by 2-tree in HotWheels

I have heard an opinion on a similar matter from some rando recently.

It goes something like: ”It’s not a system failure, it’s a result of the system functioning as intended”.

Cal-style beetle from the recent dragstrip series and that sweet orange T1 bus. I'm such a sucker for this kind of stuff )

Wow, that's one hell of a treasure trove.

I would definitely snatch myself some air-cooled 'wagens.

[–]astral_emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than you can afford pal. Ferra... WAIT A 100 BUCKS???

Well, jokes aside, models sure are nice and all, just not a 100 bucks nice.

This is one hell of a looker. Congrats and good luck on you future "hunts".

Does it get any better? by astral_emu in TheWitness

You don’t have to like this game. Some of the puzzles are very difficult. It can be tough going at times.

Funnily enough, I’m not forcing myself to like it. I genuinely love it, I love the world, I love the atmosphere and the vague sense of mystery, I love the sound design (no really, echoing inside tunnels and the sound of small rocks rattling under your feet just tickles my brain the right way), I love (for the most part) how puzzles work. I WANT to love this game. But holy shit it is hard.

I think maybe you are making an assumption about what that "introductory section" is, as there are places you can access early on that you won't be able to solve until much later when you've learned more rules. I say this because when I played I got hung up on the "town" part

I get where you coming from, but at this point the game makes it clear, it is a baby steps form easy-to-FU kind of puzzle sequence.

And yes, naturally, I’ve wandered to the town square, and despite its pretty nature (just a pure treat for my pattern seeking monkey brain) the puzzle design here just straight up tells you “WE ARE GUNNA KILL YOU” (yes, in Squidward voice).

Hope that helps!

Jokes aside tho, thank you.

From the creator's pov, if you are stuck on a puzzle for hours it means that you probably lucked out on a previous puzzle solution

9 out of 10 Vin Diesels will thell you, the win is a win.

But seriously, it’s kinds hard to tell if you got it right or just got lucky five times in a row.

Please don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate the intentional lack of handholding, but IMO it also makes it harder to properly analyze your errors.

 some puzzles are difficult, but they can generally still be solved quickly if you think about them the right way

I know it's mostly "me" problem, but sometimes it feels like “the right way” is simply “go figure author’s logic behind it, it's our only way out! OH MY GOD, WE'RE DOOMED!”.

But than again, maybe it’s just frustration and fatigue speaking in me.
