The chess puzzle is a good one, you may be on the right track with that or may not (you are correct in connecting it with the flames being lit if you mean what I think you mean)
I'll also tell you there are multiple ways into the basement and it's very helpful to have several open to you so when you do get a good run to the Antechamber you can get the lever pulled and finally get to Room 46 (which itself leads to more puzzles if your inclined after "beating" the game)

semsevfor Link ParentHave you reached the Antechamber outside Room 46 yet? That would probably be the next big goal, which will set you up for more goals.Have you reached the Antechamber outside Room 46 yet? That would probably be the next big goal, which will set you up for more goals.

Giving Carol an atom bomb that she likely would use as a last resort would be much more destructive than giving her her eggs back. The problem is we don't have enough data points/info on how their "rules" work. But if she had asked that would have provided more info and helped define those rules more clearly.
It would provide a lot of info on their reasons why if they denied her request.
Also there is a lot to learn about their logic and ethics in this discussion.
The topic of consent of joining has been brought up briefly but not thoroughly explored. The fact that they are her eggs and they have no right to use them is something that would be interesting to see their opinion on. As is if they deny returning them to her if she requests.
There's nothing to lose. If they deny the request, there's many questions to ask in regards to that to learn more about them, something she has been trying to do the whole show. And best case she gets them back, and crisis averted.

And since they can't lie she could ask if she had all of them back and then ask if there was any other method they could use to turn her.
Maybe some part of them would refuse like they did when she asked how to reverse the hive mind but at least she could have asked for it or some information.

I only had a couple days where the RNG was really bad and could only place 6 rooms or something and had to end the day. And yeah there's a ton of goals but you have to kind of keep them all in mind as your going and as they get locked off check them off a mental list so you're not focusing on ones you can't do this run anymore.
Usually you can get something done

But it worked out in the end. In a 6 year relationship now, so I guess cupid is either forgiving or has a high tolerance, haha

When I was in college there was this cute girl in one of my classes. She always wore this purple hoodie and a nerdy T-shirt. Right up my alley. I never got up the courage to talk to her, so I never knew her name.
However one night I had a dream about her, and in the dream she said her name was Sally (changed for anonymity). When I woke up I was really curious. I didn't think it would be true. But I went on Facebook (which was starting to get big at the time) and searched Sally and the university we were at and lo and behold there she was. Purple hoodie and all. Her name was indeed Sally. I was floored.
The frustrating thing about this is that when this happened I remember being stunned because it was the second time I had had a dream predict something accurately. But for the life of me the first time it happened is long gone in my memory. But I distinctly remember being shocked that it happened twice.
I never did end up talking to her, I tried to build up the courage to catch her after class or something since the dream seemed like some kind of sign or fate, but I sucked back in those days and never did.

I'm sure some people will come back because of RDJ and Chris Evans but I feel a vast majority of people who dgaf about Marvel movies anymore will not change their opinion based on this.

Had no issues with 3 or VC, and aside from the flying controls, SA has been great too, performance wise

I played 3 and VC a while back when I picked up the trilogy and I've already passed the playtime on those but still have a ton of SA left to go. I finally finished the airfield and am about to start the Las Venturas area. It's wild how much bigger this one is compared to the other two. Maybe a little too big, I'll have to see when I finish it.
Along those lines it kinda feels like they crammed two different GTA games together. The Los Santos Grove Street game and the SF/LV game. The plotlines have very little to do with each other once you leave Los Santos, they have a few connections but easily could've been a separate game/plotline.
Forgot about a lot of this game. I remember some major beats but I'm surprised how much I didn't recall.
Also how did they not fix the fucking flying in this game??? It's atrocious by modern day standards. I would expect them to have updated that with the definitive edition. Very disappointed in that.
Wish more games had stats like this one. Having to eat every day or two is annoying, but otherwise I love the stat system in SA and am sad it isn't in many games.
I'll evaluate once I finish, but I think VC is still my absolute favorite of the bunch. SA does some cool things but has some annoying as well.

Though being VR I don't think it was as explosive as Half Life 3 will be when it drops sometime soonish? Who knows when
Yeah there's currently the main starting planet and two moons with the base game, and 2 DLCs that have a new planet each.
And they announced they'll be adding another free moon sometime this year.
It's an amazing game, I started a new playthrough since I've done everything in my main save, and it's hard starting over. So I can't wait for the new moon to have a reason to come back.
Amazing game
