@JustinW80 I really liked Hotel Dusk, so this remake is on my radar now.

I remember Trace Memory coming out, but I never realized it was the same people.

When you think you just worked on some code but the git blame shows you wrote it 11 months ago and now you are dead.

Seeing my bridge or ladder get likes from anonymous people because it was put in a good spot was always super cool. I was helping people I don’t know at all on their quest.

Conversely, me liking objects that showed up in my game made me know I was helping some stats for someone.

And it’s hard to explain why that’s captivating if you haven’t played it — the idea that you might build something with the chance it could help someone you don’t know, which is motivation in itself.

I can 100% understand why some people may not like the game, and that’s totally OK. But I do feel like it’s kind of like watching someone play Tetris. On the face of it, watching a normal person play Tetris isn’t that exciting. But when YOU play Tetris, it’s fun. You get the vibe and it’s great.

The nerdsphere saw the game, saw him walking a stack of packages, and decided the game was silly (and parts of it definitely are). But it struck a cord with me.

Me: “Not tonight, thanks. I have some work here, and I’d rather not restart just yet. I’ll let you know. Just go sleep and do nothing.”

W: “OK, fam.”

Windows: “I got some good news. I went ahead and updated even though you didn’t ask for that. Of course I restarted, and you have to open everything back up.”

Me: “Bitch, why?”
