Sorry if you had to read my temper tantrum about Okami earlier. It ended up being an unfortunately misclued puzzle, such that it really looked like I was doing the right thing and it wasn't working. As it happens, the game assumed that I knew exactly what to do because I'd gone through simpler iterations of the same puzzle earlier, but managed to totally miss one of the solutions' key attributes out of sheer luck. (To not give too much away, the solution is a function of time and position, but I ignored the time attribute. The solution was simple enough to let me blundered through anyway, out of happenstance.)

So when I was failing to pick up on it today, my in-game buddy just kept saying "Don't you remember what you did last time?" and I was like "Yes! And it's not working!! Argh!!!" After cooling my head a bit the solution came to me and I got through.

Meanwhile, the game continues to be absurdly large, and I had maybe one of the most delightful video game boss fights I've ever had, even though it wasn't particularly difficult. (An earlier fight in the same game also qualifies.) This is all I've done today. Now I'm going to go see a movie. Bye bye.

Haha, I had a couple of moments like that. I resorted to using a walkthrough a couple of times on the basis that the puzzles aren't meant to be hard so if I got stuck I was just missing something obvious--and both times that's exactly what happened.

Nothing in the game is really hard at all. I don't think any of the fights are really hard. There's just so much of it, and it's mostly all very beautiful, clever, and well-written.
