It’s funny cus this exact section previously was even more blatantly derivative of E3M2 from dusk lmao

That’s why I’ve been aiming towards just curating a social media timeline explicitly away from political unrest and controversy. Call it an echo chamber but when there’s so many places where I’m subjected to unrest and discourse, it’s nice to have somewhere less tense.

Something I’ve already fallen in love with. I love the pressure that’s put on you, it forces me to fully engage with a game in a way that feels genuinely rewarding to walk out of. That pressure might not be for everyone. But I think dismissing the game as artificially difficult is a disservice.
