  • i harp on it a lot, but Outer Wilds helps me a lot. It teaches the value of exploration, curiosity, friendship, compassion, and patience. it’s a deeply melancholic piece, which can be frustrating and obtuse at times, but just remembering it makes me happy. the soundtrack brings all the memories back every time.




  • that’s a shame. i’m not going to force it on you if you don’t enjoy the experience, but i will say that there are no mechanical progress gates at all in Outer Wilds, no intended order to do things in, and multiple interleaving threads to pull on. if you get stuck in one place, going to another may let you learn how to proceed. if it feels like you’re missing something, you probably are, and going somewhere else may help you find it.

    it’s been my game of the year five years running, if that means anything. the dlc only cemented that position even more.










  • brave also used it to scam people by taking tips for creators who weren’t on the platform. if the creator never signed up, they kept that money.

    and they had an adblocker that replaced ads with their own, making the browser money instead of the site.

    they have actively contributed to making the web worse. saying “at least they’re doing something” is like praising the hard work and entrepreneurial spirit of a mugger.
