Ah dang, sorry you had to deal with that Kaynil. Glad you got your account back!

Survey submitted! I come off as a very grumpy fella in my answers.

This may or may not be true of me.

I'm actually kinda surprised how quickly I fell off of it. I fully intended to find all the shells and such, but the game just lost my interest after I beat it. Probably because I've got so many games I'm dividing my attention between this year.

Duly noted!

Thank you. The book mostly targets more experienced runners of TTRPGs, since the book is unlikely to reach anyone who isn't experienced with them. None the less, I do think it's a fairly accessible text.

You seem to be a bit more active online this past month! It has been nice seeing you around on twitter and on here.

It's always good to see music from earlier periods preserved via modern performance.

Haha, I definitely remember trying to validate my ego by picking hard difficulty levels myself!

These days I will also usually play through a game on normal, but I really appreciate games—like Hades for example—where the game ramps up the difficulty as you get better.

This one honestly works so dang well:

I've come to have a strong preference for games that don't have metagame difficulty selectors. I feel like whenever I am asked to select a difficulty up front, I pick the wrong one. Either I pick 'hard' on games where it's far too punishing to be possible for a first time player, or I pick 'normal' in games where it's entirely too easy to be a fun challenge.

I have enjoyed "count to 10,000" threads on other forums. Particularly when folks are only allowed to use images for the numbers they post.

Like you said, it serves as a reason to check in regularly, and a sort of default space for casual chit chat when the forum is slow elsewhere.

BotW2 feels like a November 2021 release at the earliest. Though, BotW came out in like March or something, correct? And it obviously performed quite well. Though I suspect that was more a result of Nintendo being desperate to get the Switch out as soon as possible, and to start it with a heavy hitter like a mainline Zelda game.

I've been listening to the channel Kaynil posted for a good little bit now. I am really digging that chill vibes, ye olde musik stylings.

Having coworkers you enjoy being around is such a big deal. I'm glad you've got that going for you!

The book is out (https://www.paperspencils.com/new-release-miscreated-creatures/), and I'm in the midst of my regular post-book-launch-depression right now. I might spend some time trying to focus on contract work for other people's books, rather than writing my own. I've picked up some useful skills from going through the process a few times now. Allowing myself to focus only on a certain aspect iof a production, and letting someone else worry about the big picture stuff, would be a nice change of pace right now.

Anybody feel like writing their memoirs or something? My layout rates are very reasonable.
