Thank you for calling out the Lies of P

Thank you Joel, I was in Japan a week before you and saw that mascot everywhere. It's nice to finally have closure on what that funny guy's all about.

I thought this was @jonbois.bsky.social for a second

I said this a bit ago and then the very next day Fyre Festival 2 was announced. And then canceled. Fyter Fest lives on with no acknowledgement of its reference.

Nina why

Congrats Stacey, that sounds fun!

I did Osaka/Hiroshima/Kyoto/Tokyo with 2-3 days each and that pace felt right. Pacing out the shinkansen trips and sticking to short/medium trips in between gave us time to take in each location.

Hiroshima worth it but I agree with others that the 4 day stretch seems packed. If you're going to Nara for the deer, consider that Miyajima (day trip from Hiroshima) also has friendly deer and is a beautiful island.

My faves: Outer Wilds, Obra Dinn, The Case of the Golden Idol, Her Story, Immortality, The Witness

I'm sticking with it, I've seen enough testimonials about how it really opens up! But it's testing my patience... many of the great games it's been compared to have a compelling main loop or setting which kept me hooked before I discovered the meta-mechanics. Drafting rooms is kinda boring?

I'm in Japan at the same time as Joel! I was proud of this Miyajima pic

This except you should only start with two HDDs? I could be wrong, I'm only 6 hours into the videos.

I can already tell it will be my whole flight back from Tokyo!

Installing!

Damn, sorry dude. Get well soon!
