Precious

The new thing I say when a video game ceases to be fun, by making me do something I already did over and over, is: This is not treating my time and attention as precious.

Why, yes, I did just finally get to the Meat Circus stage in Psychonauts...!

While I'm here: any game recs I need to know about? Know ye that I really really want to play Dwarf Fortress, but ffs, I cannot get past the interface. I just can't do it. It's like trying to read a really smashing novel where all the text on every page is encoded as a stereogram. And covered in bees. I don't know.

What are you playing?

Puzzle Quest was a hit last year in the house. I lurved Fallout 2 a few years ago, but sadly it's on my list of got-to-the-endgame-and-will-never-quite-finish games.

Oregon Trail? As in "You just shot 6,183,629,291 pounds of food! Too bad about the dysentery!" ?

I'll check out those other ones!

Yep, that Oregon trail. My goal is to have a completely vegetarian wagon train :) Maybe I'll send them out too late in the year so they get trapped in the Rockies during winter... MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
