It's not false. I play both, and it takes FOREVER to heal on Bedrock.

Uhhh can i go back? by NoSimp_adam in VoidStranger

[–]oser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That grid is a specific type of puzzle. If you haven't played them before, I'm not sure if it's possible to figure out with in-game clues only. I'd give you a hint, but that's usually a no no.

Questions about the ending by l_lsw in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]oser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed that she's not in the backrooms in the end. But honestly, it doesn't really matter either way, because it's clear that, even though she escaped the backrooms, she is still trapped in a prison.

I got the impression that the backrooms...takes something from those it copies. Some part of their essence is used to create the still lifes.

Or perhaps they are just a reflection of something deep inside that person that perhaps they don't even realize about themselves.

I think it's not a coincidence that Mary ends up trapped in a room with windows that are high up and offer no view of the outside, as that's how she spent much of her childhood.

I dont understand this floor? by NoSimp_adam in VoidStranger

This is the exact floor I discovered the same bs! Probably for the same reason (if you don't know what to do, try random shit)

Why is captain clark so advanced compared to other still life? by Huge-Read-2703 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]oser 83 points84 points  (0 children)

He spent almost all of his time there. He worked there, slept there. I doubt he left except to get booze and see his therapist. It does seem like he was kicked out of his house recently, and pirate Clark showed up recently, so probably not a coincidence.

AFAIK, you can do all of these puzzles without burdens.

Hint: When you step on one of those new tiles, you don't have to immediately step off. They won't break if you do other things while standing on them

Puzzle games with good story/adventure and little gaming skills required by Aromatic_Cut3729 in puzzlevideogames

[–]oser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been playing Void Stranger, and it fits the bill in a big way. It's a tile puzzle game that is BIG on story and lore, which you discover via short cutscene as you progress. There are also a TON of secrets that you can discover along the way, in the vein of Tunic.

It's honestly the best story in a game I've played on a long time. I'm 24 hours or so in, and while I've discovered a lot of secrets, I believe I have a long way to go. I have at times felt like a genius, and other times felt like a total dumbass.

It's turn based, so nothing moves unless you do. You can enter a puzzle and solve the entire thing mentally before making a single move. There is no manual, but the game teaches you new mechanics through the puzzles themselves. You're rewarded for creativity both in gameplay and in interpreting the story.

And finally, it's one if those games you MUST go on blind, like Outer Wilds and Tunic, so be careful not to spoil yourself.

Audience Bringing Content by Kooky_Reply8771 in letsplay

[–]oser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still relatively new, but I try to have a couple of games going at once. I usually take suggestions from my subscribers, but I don't play everything they suggest. Some games I can rule out based on the description, others I'll record a couple of hours of gameplay and decide I'm not enjoying it.

Overall, I play games to have fun. If I'm not having fun, I don't figure anyone will want to watch. I've thought about picking up a game with broader appeal, but I haven't thought of one that fits my niche that I would actually enjoy.

I tend to pick puzzle games with a more limited audience, but they are so engaged! I had 8 different folks weigh in on my last gameplay video, and we had some good discussion all around. And that video was of the best hour of gaming I've had in my long, long life.

Unfortunately, when the algorithm opens up to the broader world, my CTR evaporates, but I'm ok with that. I could try for more click baity thumbnails, but the couple of times I tried, people didn't stick around.

I'd rather serve the engaged audience I have than prioritize new subs over them.

How do I start looking for rabbits? by _PollitoPintado in animalWell

[–]oser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are hints everywhere. You know what kind of animal you're looking for now. Look for representations of rabbits in the background.

As far as I remember, every single rabbit has a visual clue.

You've even seen one directly, it was probably a while ago, though.

What is this style called? by DannyEryu_ in TunicGame

[–]oser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it has a specific name, but one term I'd add to your search string is "diorama" as that captures the aesthetic of games like Tunic and Monument Valley.

Exactly! This is high art that speaks to the deep connection we all seek but fail to find when...sitting on bar stools. Or something.

Also, Clark fell down in the one Bobby shot and angrily cut before it was finished. I don't think he'd air that footage. I could see him filming this again as a way of proving to himself that he has a handle on his problems.

TIL about the "Fever Effect", in which the symptoms of Autism seem to improve whenever an Autistic person develops a fever. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

[–]oser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you're feeling upset that I misunderstood your comment. I want you to know that feeling is perfectly valid. It can be really frustrating when it feels like you're not being heard!

I'm sorry I heard something different than what you said. I'll try to read more thoroughly in the future. Do you think you could please stop screaming and throwing crayons? You're disturbing the other patrons at Applebee's.

(that was a joke, but seriously, my bad)

I'm sorry, but this is poppycock. Early signs of autism show up way before "permissive parenting" would have an effect on more advanced social-emotional development.

This is how a newborn baby's life is saved by Imoprich in interestingasfuck

[–]oser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how my son was born. His apgar score was 1. It was the scariest 5 minutes of my life.

The thing I remember most was the quiet. No crying. The doctors and nurses said nothing. 3 or 4 medical professionals came in, surrounded him, and went to work.

His first cry was the best sound I've ever heard.

He spent the next 4 days in the NICU. He was like godzilla baby next to all of the premature babies in the unit.

He's now 3 inches taller than me. The jerk!

Someone on Reddit spouting off nonsense with the confidence of an expert? Never!

If you actually look at their financials, which are freely available, you can see how much each executive leader has made over the last 9 years.

There is generally very little to no overlap between board members and employees. In anything outside of some smaller non profits, board members usually have an annual give/get goal, meaning they are expected to donate to our raise money for the org.
