I’m playing Jusant right now. It’s one of the best non-combat games I’ve ever played I think.

You play as a climber who tries to make it up a towering mountain/rock tower, and you find letters along the way that tell the story of what has happened to the world and the inhabitants of the tower. All the water seems to have disappeared from around where the tower is located. Ships and boats decorate the desert around the tower. Some letters are found in chronological order as you go up the tower, following certain characters, indicating they also made the climb up. Others are in reverse chronological order, indicating the need to incrementally descend the tower as the water level decreased. In those, you can tell the desperation and mindset of the people changing as things got worse, but more relaxed the higher up you get.

The exposition is simple reading of text, but in combination with the story it makes it very interesting.

The gameplay is super fun: it’s challenging enough to be entertaining, easy enough to be chill. Simple yet engaging controls.

The art style is very cool IMO. The world is not textured. The developers instead relied solely on very detailed colored and shaded geometry to convey texture, leveraging UE5’s nanite and lumen systems respectively. And I have to say, there’s a lot of detail in the geometry and in the amount of world objects. It really brings life to the game world.

Very difficult to put down. I think about wanting to play/finish it when I’m doing other things. 😅 Haven’t had that feeling with many games.

9/10

Captain Toad’s Treasure Hunt is quite relaxing if you’re into puzzles and Mario games.

The nose still has a surface area after being removed, as you can tell by the index finger disappearing behind it.

Isn’t there some message to get? Are you sure? The person seems to be part of some military organization, possibly, going by the costume. So maybe this is some jab at something political that happened with the military around this time? Let me think, when was 'Nam? 🤔 [Looked it up] Yeah 'Nam was going on at this time. (Although the Vietnam war went on for a long-ass time – almost 20 years – so it could have been anything. But still.)

Looks like at least one pair of twins, I’m gonna guess more than one set of multiple births among them all.

Could you elaborate on “all over Europe”? We don’t have those in Sweden, it looks very very tacky.

In how many countries have you seen these?

Yeah my joke was kind of partly inspired by the drawthefuckingowl meme. Step 1 would be the owl lol.

I’m here as a beginner adult solving using the beginner algorithm and happy with sub 5 minutes… 💀

I would say there’s an evolutionary need to be afraid of things we don’t understand. Lots more examples of that as well.

When it looks like something we think we recognize but it looks unfamiliar at the same time, we don’t understand it, and we want to stay away from it.

Simple as that, in my mind. 🤷‍♂️

You’re a saint. Not everyone thinks like you.

I clicked before seeing your comment but I had to commend you anyway. Have a good one, mate.

assuming all 4 of us log on, a herculean feat

Majority of you are parents is my guess 💀

Not sure if it’s implied by I’m assuming you are looking for American schools?

God’s work, son. 🤝

Be the change you want to see ✨🌈

1. Make PR ready to merge.
2. Mark as Draft and write in the description that management says this should not be merged until the site breaks.
3. Site breaks.
4. They blame you for not having a solution ready.
5. 😎 👈 You.

So… How are things at work?

This is what I imagine the Reddit developers think of themselves as. 😆

Sorry if it isn’t obvious – I’m facetiously joking in all of these comments. 😇 Just playing on the “fairly good” phrasing and memeing on it. 😉

No. 😞 But maybe I could be, if all it takes is to be fairly good? 🥹

That’s… it? You can get knighted for being “fairly good” at your job for half a decade, and then quitting?

Heck, I’m “fairly good” as a software developer. I’m pretty darn good actually, and have been working for more than half a decade, and I don’t intend to quit. Where do I queue for one of them knightings? 😅🗡️

I’m not too familiar with knighthood. How did he become knighted?
