That's awesome, well done! Any idea if it's worth it to take the passwords you've earned over to Oracle of Seasons in order to unlock the alternate plot points, expanded story and extended ending? I always liked the idea of the two games interacting to create a third unique experience, but never knew anyone who actually used the interactive features.

It's either quite the paradox or that bear's info is out in the open.

In other words, it's either a bear-a-dox or that bear got doxxed.

The person reacting to your comment calling them a pigeon:

At one of the lowest points of my life when i was locked into contract and couldn't make changes that would better my situation, the lottery was my anti-suicide failsafe. If there was a chance, no matter how small, that life could get better, I had to keep going.

I knew the odds and it wasn't about winning, just that twice a month I'd buy something that meant I had to keep going because statistically it gave me a chance to change my situation.

However, getting a false win at that time would have absolutely destroyed me.

Disco Elysium is a fantastic one. There are an insane amount of choices that shape how you go about the investigation of the hanged man and ultimately what happens beyond that investigation. Choices of who to side with, how to side (openly or playing multiple sides, etc.), choices that ultimately define what kind of detective you are (by-the-book boring, superstar douchebag, violent tough guy, Sherlock Holmes-esque genius, etc., including my favorite: Twin Peaks Lynchian detective that bases their decisions off of dreams, intuition and imaginary conversations with the dead body), and even how failing or succeeding at something can lead to progress in very different ways. If you fail to hit that person you tried to punch, or miss that shot with your gun, or utterly fail to convince someone to help you, you progress through in very different ways so that failing your way to the truth is just as satisfying and entertaining as succeeding your checks to get there.

And of course Fallout: New Vegas. Whether you choose to support the New California Republic, Caesar's Legion, Mr. House, or a truly independent New Vegas, none of them are perfect. Each succeeds in an ideal society in some ways but completely fails at others, leaving you to decide which imperfect system you feel is the right one for the world instead of shoving an obvious answer in your face.

My (new) hope is that in the parallel universe version they didn't do the special edition re-releases and kept in the original Mos Eisley Cantina scene.

Remember friends, Hana shot first!

Ah yes, because Alex Garland never makes films that provide a cautionary examination and instead is a complete advocate for bringing those dystopian settings to real life. /s

"You know Sonic the Hedgehog? You probably already know this but in the early 90s there were two different Sonic cartoons airing at the same time. One was dark and dramatic, the other was a hilarious comedy about chili dogs. And the same guy played Sonic in both shows. Isn't that wild? The same guy playing two different versions of the same guy? ...Or maybe you didn't watch cartoons...or you're not into chili dogs..."

This looks like a skill from Disco Elysium if it was a dating sim instead of a lynchian RPG.

Perfect Dark with dual analog controls is something I've wanted to exist and now it does! No Mac support though, gonna have to maybe take another look at clearing things out to make room for boot camp.

Not to mention every talk show host did the same thing, going on without writers and explicitly stating every show they need their writers back and support them.

Plus Conan continued to pay his writers out of his own accord throughout that strike. It's the same reason Conan only agreed to move from New York to LA if he could bring his staff with him to TBS: he cares about the people he works with. It's also why he paid them on his own accord again during the lockdown.

My opinion of Conan remains where it was: highest of the high. Team Coco #1.
