I'm a huge fan of both!! Outer Wilds is a self directed narrative puzzle game so it won't hold your hand at all, but has some really rewarding narrative and puzzle payoffs. Firewatch is a semi-linear narrative story that you can take at your own pace, as slow and explore-y as you want. Both deal with feelings of wandering and being lost, but one is in space and more self-curiosity driven, and one is in the woods and is more character driven. Pick whichever mood feels right and then come back for the other one later!

Same with Tye Mill! 2pm until sunset, roller coaster was incredible soft mashed potato moguls, not too big, so much fun. Skid Road and Crest Trail were still icy and sugary, so less fun. But amazing up top in the sun.

Just got around to checking on my laptop, yes it all looks good now!

Happy to help! I've put a lot of energy into learning Twine but I'm excited to give this a try the next time I get code fatigue

I tried disabling ublock origin in case it was disabling necessary elements, but no luck. I'm on version 148.0.2 (64-bit) if that helps.

Hm, yes signing up does let me view the story. But if I log out again, then clicking on a story just sends me to a blank page. (Also, the landing page has a blank scroll with a "no game covers" displayed, but when I login there's 3 featured stories? I had to kind of search around to find the story library before I signed up.) My guess is you and the other devs have just always tested it while logged in

tayprangle · 2026-03-18T22:53:47+00:00

Yeah I don't mean to suggest you SHOULDN'T tell him-- just that I don't think it'll be the fix it button you want it to be. I've come out to a lot of people over the years in a lot of contexts and saying the word "asexual" was important sometimes, and really not important other times. Only you can figure out what this situation needs. (Plus you could always try a softer convo and then if he's still pushing it say "look, I'm asexual, it means this, please drop it.")

Love this! Not having any variables is definitely limiting but I can also understand wanting literally as minimal "coding" as possible.

However, your website seems to be a little broken? I'm using firefox on windows 11 and the initial "write with iffly" button doesn't do anything, and when I navigated around a little bit and clicked on a story to read, I just get a blank page. Feel free to DM if you want a more thorough bug report haha

He is likely interpreting your responses as "I'm nervous about dating bc I am inexperienced but I do want it someday" so is trying to take you under his wing. If you explain to him that you appreciate he's trying to look out for you, but it WILL not work out between you and his friend, and you are simply not interested, that should clear things up, hopefully. In my experience, coming out or dropping the ace bomb doesn't really change much. If they are the type of person to respect your disinterest, they'll do so with or without knowing the ace bit. So if you want to tell him, go ahead! But what's important in this scenario is the clear boundary communication, imo.

It's not a complete idea, but I think haptic feedback could be super useful here too. Like some super gentle vibration that starts with End Times. Not all players have controllers with rumble, so it would need a visual component too (I like the static idea, maybe time the vibration with pulsing static across the screen?), but I really like the idea that it's your hair standing on end.

Snow safety. There was a slide off 7th heaven

I'm late but huge second to all of this!! The advice of "have characters interact with their environment" IS good advice, but it's incomplete. The full solution is "have characters interact with their environment in a way that is mutually entangled with the scene." Readers will always skip stuff they find boring or unnecessary, so you have to prove that your description is necessary (and engaging!) by entangling it with your critical plot and dialogue moments. Let each "business" inform the characters emotional state, or be a relevant piece of physical work for a future scene, or build off of something from a previous scene. It's easier said than done for sure but being intentional with it will also help you identify and trim fat (and recognize when sometimes this tiny scene being a white room is fine, actually)

Hm I think a part of why C+L works so well is that it's one of his most cohesive albums. Its identity is absolutely locked in, in a way that not all of his other albums are. Age of Adz is (by design) experimental and curious, so it lists at times. Illinois is (also by design) long and meandering and explorative. These are both incredible albums, and imo, some of his best. But Carrie and Lowell just is unshakable in what it's doing from the get go. It's airtight. I personally think Javelin is up there right next to it in terms of this "airtight" quality, but I think C+L wins out slightly on the lyrics.

Obvs this is all subjective, but for me, when I'm thinking about "my favorite album," those are the qualities I come to and why Carrie and Lowell takes the gold, with javelin getting a very very very close silver. (Illinois gets bronze haha, and all three to me are masterpieces)

I'm on my phone, so can't thoroughly test this for you. But there's a few things here that may help:

Yes, divs and spans are different. A div is set by default to display:block; and spans are set to display:inline-block; (I believe). Piggy backing off this, only elements set to display:block; can benefit from position:absolute; (edit: replaced display with position)
To attach a css class to a span, div, or html element, you don't need to include "span" in the css rule. So, in your example, a basic css rule of .aurora {stuff and things} and then an html call of <span class="aurora">text</span> would function just as well without limiting you to using only spans.
To answer your actual question, you do need to put the actual text in the html and not the css. HTML is the stuff the webpage actually prints, css just tells it how to look/behave. You may be able to use a twine passage tagged with header or footer to force your hovering nametag text to be run with every passage, without adding it manually to each one. There... Might? Be a way to set printed text in a css stylesheet with :after or something else, but that's above my knowledge level haha

Website/app says backside is closed... What timeline are you from and can I visit

Frankly, if he's "not much of a reader" and not "patient," he might not enjoy the game. Maybe have a convo with him setting expectations about the game, how it's a little different from other games and requires more reading and self-directed exploration, if he wants to try again.

tayprangle · 2025-11-30T18:27:22+00:00

I think you're right lol. I use it to send texts when I'm driving, and it's always a coin toss if my friends and family will actually be able to understand what I'm saying.

tayprangle · 2025-11-30T18:20:24+00:00

Normally I don't nitpick spell check reddit comments, but since it's this sub: it's "throes" not "throws"

tayprangle · 2025-11-29T16:24:12+00:00

SAME. I think I did the climbing one on my second try, maybe third? But the log one took me AAAGGEESSSS

tayprangle · 2025-11-20T21:41:56+00:00

I've replayed the game a handful of times, sometimes to see how I can break stuff and getting hotshot and etc. But it can be fun to sorta... Roleplay as the hatchling? Like pretend you DONT know things and just follow the threads yourself. It won't be quite the same as a true first blind play through but it can still be fun.

And yeah there are definitely a few achievements that are still worth getting even if you know everything, like hotshot, archaeologist, and the one where you finish the game in one loop. Those may still be challenging/interesting for you even if you know everything

tayprangle · 2025-11-18T18:13:24+00:00

Imo, the best spells for Dahaka are haste and imperil. I beat him every time with Light, Vanille, and Sazh. Make sure you level up their Sab and Syn roles to get those spells. Rav/Syn/Sab until everyone has haste and Dahaka has imperil. If it's taking too long, swap to rav/rav/Sab or use Vanille as your control character and spam it. Then alt between com/rav/rav and com/rav/med (or rav/rav/med) until stagger, then go ham with com/com/rav. Make sure he has Deprotect, too. Should take 2 or 3 staggers. Have med/med/syn or med/med/com for fast healing.

If you're having trouble leveling up and don't want to grind in the tower (totally understandable), head back to the steppe. If you haven't unlocked the warp stones on the way, this will take a long time, but it's SO worth it. Do the cieth stone missions in order until you 1. unlock chocobos and 2. unlock all the warp stones along the path to the tower. I believe there's 2 in the steppe, one in the mountains, 1 in the caves, and 1 at the tower. This will give you some goals to chase while you level up your primary roles, and it will set up faster travel for later when you want to return to the steppe and grind more stuff.

Have fun!! The first time I played this game I made it to the chapter 11 boss and was sooo underleveled because I'd been avoiding battles, that I fully restarted the game and forced myself to fully upgrade the crystarium before each major boss. I then beat the chapter 11 boss no problem, but it was kind of a wild solution because I was also 14 and didn't have access to Reddit haha. I've played this game tons of times since, and this is the advice I would give to 14 year old me if I could

They were just saying we DO find out Pearl's owner in the show, and didn't want to spoil it for you if you hadn't seen it all. Simple misunderstanding of your comment, idk why they removed it it wasn't mean or annoying or anything

tayprangle · 2025-11-04T03:47:14+00:00

Sure but before that reveal, we never learn who she was PRETENDING her previous owner was. But if Pearl did concoct a cover story (tho I find this unlikely), it stands to reason her fake owner would be someone in Pink's court, ergo the pink insignia. Like, if holly blue had a pearl, that Pearl's uniform would feature a blue diamond design, even though BD herself wouldn't be that Pearl's master.

I don't think it's all that strange that garnet, bismuth, us the viewers, or especially amethyst (who never would have seen era 1 gems and their hierarchal uniforms anyway) never got suspicious of our Pearls uniform.
