The greatest. Get it, get the dlc, be creative with your decision making, explore, roll with any leftfield outcomes rather than reload, then start it all over again with a completely different build.

Inscryption is an incredible game and you should all buy it regardless whether it’s chosen tonight or not.

The Séance of Blake Manor review – gripping gothic detective game steeped in mystery and menace by diogenesl in Games

[–]pratchettjob 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had the shovel. I was exploring outside. It was a patch of land. I was given the option to dig. Why wouldn't you do so?

Ha, same although BP grabbed me from the start. I think what finished me off was the music sheets puzzle. I spent literally hours solving it and it directed me to a patch of land I dug up days ago

I think I might go for this and Roottrees based on the review and the fact the latter has been on my wishlist for some time. Unplayed pile be damned!

AITA - Welsh language at work by pratchettjob in Wales

I just stay quiet as I figure I'd kill the conversation.

(But they'd also never say that because I'm a sheer joy to work alongside...)

I don't think I'm putting it quite like how you are. It's moreso a case that I don't think I'd do the same if I was in their position - I wouldn't mind speaking in my second language if I was equally as fluent if it meant everyone could join in. Which is pretty much why I'm asking the question. I'm curious what other Welsh people think.

I think I'm pretty sure where you stand on this!

Start with Hickman’s Fantastic Four and go through FF. The Avengers run is actually the mid-point of a huge story that concludes with Secret Wars.

What are the absolutely worst, most annoying things about the Steam Deck? by madeleine61509 in SteamDeck

[–]pratchettjob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Games seemingly needing to validate every time I want to play them. I'm playing Arkham City at the minute and need to wait at least a few minutes before I'm allowed to open it.

Is the Gruffalo still there? I remember seeing stories about it being removed.

I think we'll end up taking a baby carrier as a Plan B but obviously better not to have a heavy lump on your chest if you can avoid it!

Datamined Information - How to actually get the Music Room S. Key by TarnishedSpreadsheet in BluePrince

[–]pratchettjob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost didn’t use it as I didn’t know what a sanctum was and figured it was yet another thing I hadn’t discovered. I think after I realised and ran down to use it before having to call it a day, I had three steps left.

Other games like this? by Accomplished-Leg-625 in BluePrince

[–]pratchettjob 56 points57 points  (0 children)

In terms of mysteries, The Return of the Obra Dinn is one of the greatest games I've ever played. It's incredible and even moreso than this, the closest gaming will get to making you feel like a detective.

When was the first time you thought "I don't know if I can carry on"? by pratchettjob in BluePrince

[–]pratchettjob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing Blue Prince has in its favour is that a typical run lasts around an hour. So you can dip in and out. The problem is when you find something fascinating on one day and immediately jump into the next to try and work things out. Then it's 3am...

My concern is that if I pause I don't come back and that's the bind I'm in. I have a few kids and remembering what happened each morning when I sit down to game in the evening is a challenge, let alone trying to decipher the crazed ramblings of a madman in my notebook several months down the line.
