    Yup! Exactly! Especially once the storm gets worse and you're trying to navigate between buildings. Got turned around a few times with that! Gotta utilize the rope and light poles!

    Just played Near Death over the weekend. It was a fun little exploration survival game. Only takes about 2 hours to play through, but the simplicity of the game makes that the perfect amount of time.

    You crash next to an abandoned Antarctic research base with your only communication a typewriter that's linked to another base a few hundred miles away. The people at that base try to help you with information as a huge storm is bearing down on your location so no one can come in to get you.

    As you progress you'll have to scrounge for supplies to keep you warm in the -80 degree storm and repair parts of the base that have broken or fallen into disrepair. The base is a bunch of different sets of buildings all separated by a good distance of outside so you have to run through the storm to get to different areas for supplies and parts.

    The simple mechanics are super engaging. The only danger is the cold and you have to find ways to keep yourself warm or you die. Had a lot of fun with it and highly recommend to anyone who finds that concept interesting.

    I'm curious why you seem to think social media has no affect on attention spans.

    I think it's pretty obvious it has had an effect. I've noticed it in myself even. How much of an effect depends on the person. And it's not the only factor sure.

    But I find it wild to claim that it has no effect and am curious where you are coming from with this deduction.

    I hate how this is what we have come to. We were in a golden era with LOST and never knew it. It seemed like it was the start of something amazing but it turned out to be the peak. So sad.

    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

    Ok, you've got a lot opened up to you with the basement. Lot of avenues to go down. 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)

    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.

    I don't think we know they won't honor requests about spreading the infection. All we have seen is they refuse to discuss how to reverse it.

    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.

    Which is ironic cause TNG, DS9, VOY are all perfect shows to have on in the background as it's mostly dialogue.

    The only part that doesn't make sense to me is why didn't Carol ask for her eggs? Surely they couldn't deny her that, they are hers after all. 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.

    Thanks for the explanation, that does sound humorous. The movie didn't look good from the trailer, so I'll see how it holds up

    Typically you can always achieve something in a day, even if it's small progress like adding to your stars/allowance which will help you in future runs.

    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
