  • The one mechanic is similar, yes. But the gameplay and exploration are drastically different.

    I can’t praise the game enough… it’s just so good.

    For example. You’re in a dungeon and then it happens and you go back.

    In some ways something happens when you’re pulling on some thread. There’s no dungeons, no goal (explicitly). You are exploring and as you learn more you realize there’s areas to check out because they’ll answer some question you have about what happened or why something is the way it is.

    In this case perhaps the mechanic occurs and you find yourself briefly annoyed. But then you go back to the spot, this time things are in a different place and state and you realize something happens that allows you to go further which leads to another thread/mystery.

    And then you’re off. As time goes on you learn to accept and then even invite it. More and more you unravel deeper mysteries, learning what and why and then seeing earlier conclusions in a new light.

    Why it’s happening, how it’s happening, what can be done and can’t, etc. it’s really a one of a kind experience.











  • It’s not a waste of time… it’s a waste of space. But it does allow you to “enforce” some schema. Which, very few people use that way and so, as a data store using JSON works better.

    Or… we could go back to old school records where you store structs with certain defined lengths in a file.

    You know what? XML isn’t looking so bad now.

    If you want to break the AI ask instead what regex you should use to parse HTML.






  • Rf interference. Similar to having multiple microwaves running near your router, or those old rf based baby monitors.

    Congested the 2.4 or 5gz spectrum with noise causing noise and retransmits or outright stopping the wifi from working.

    If you have an old radio that does AM find a AM channel that isn’t broadcasting and bring it near your router. You can actually “hear” the noise those things are putting out.
