Hey, is this a paid QA job or are you trying to crowdsource early impressions?

Story does get good - IF you're not looking for a straight, linear story. It becomes more and more a nonlinear collage. I think it is a type of narrative that requires some involvement from the player. Making their own connections and interpretations. Vibing with the metaphors and art references.

Took you some time. 😁
And this type of wordplay is actually relevant to quite a few puzzles too!

Audio options if I think about it across all games. For me personally, I have to check for removing screenshake/motion blur (cognitive issues/long covid) and turning off hold button/press control stick bindings (tendonitis).

... a hairdrier to distribute the color outwards towards the edges.
February 13, 2025 at 6:16 PM
I wouldn't know how to do that digitally, but irl i'd tape a piece if grained aquarel paper down (so it dries straight), take a dark blue, put a drop of a complementary color in it to reduce saturation, apply a film of water to the paper, put a drop of the diluted color on the water and use...

The examples from Robin Hood read to me like wet-on-wet watercolor with very diluted colors. There's a subtle gradient going on, looks like a 'broken' muted blue spread on the edges and a darker color where the gutter is.

Hits the nail on the head.

... most people just never get to learn it. And on top of that, oneself tends to overestimate how good they are at relearning things. 😁

And you can't really change people, certainly not over the internet. Might be better to learn to save your own energy.

Our brains seem to be hardwired to protect your own energy levels. Rewriting something you know is a huge energy expense, and thats probably why people react so aggressively to being 'forced' to do it.

Being able to accept that you're wrong is a SKILL that needs to be thought, and...

Oh, I get that. It's certainly frustrating to be very knowledgeable in a field, seeing someone get stuff so OBVIOUSLY wrong and the be confronted with a hostile reaction on top once you try to correct them.

But the thing is, almost everyone is naturally resistant to having to correct their view...

Looks awesome in the best, most horrible way. The peek into the process is also much appreciated!

That being said, I might take fotos of things that I can't easily remember. Book titles, web pages, dates, etc. For me, it's less cognitive load to take a quick picture than to stop and write things down.

For me it is pretty much the other way round. I much prefer to be fully engaged in a talk, and if I write I find myself being focused on taking notes instead of thinking about the implications of what's been said. I also remember things better that way.
