04:26 🔗 db48x I've been trying to do it for a couple of hours, today and yesterday
04:31 🔗 bai I think I've blocked some of those puzzles from my mind, to prevent further trauma
04:36 🔗 db48x heh
04:43 🔗 db48x I stopped playing it to work on a big contract shortly after I got into the mountain
04:43 🔗 db48x I'm starting to think that picking it back up was a bad idea
04:44 🔗 bai I played it with my wife - which was both really fun, and intensely frustrating :D
04:45 🔗 db48x heh
04:45 🔗 bai I'd catch sight of something while she had the controls and be like "ooh, go look over there!" and she's like "nah hold on, lemme check this other thing out"
04:46 🔗 bai I'd really love to see a two-player VR version of that game
04:47 🔗 db48x mmm, tracing the solutions out in VR would be interesting
04:47 🔗 bai exploring a world like that feels lonely - which I guess is kind of the point - but being able to roam through it with someone else, and become completely immersed in it while cooperating to solve the puzzles
04:47 🔗 bai yeah, I wonder how many of them just plain wouldn't work
04:48 🔗 bai since they kind of rely on depth tricks which you'd see right through in VR
04:48 🔗 db48x all the ones where an object in the environment occludes the board; people would just stick their heads through the geometry to get a clear line of sight
04:49 🔗 bai easy fix for that, if you press your head too far inside of a wall you die :D
04:49 🔗 db48x heh
07:58 🔗 SketchCow The mountain king thing is meant to be incredibly hard, and constantly changes the puzzles to be even harder.
07:58 🔗 SketchCow So that's a whole other thing.
09:15 🔗 * db48x sighs
09:15 🔗 db48x I thought I had it that time
09:16 🔗 db48x time to sleep, I think
16:37 🔗 SketchCow The machines are falling fast now.
16:37 🔗 SketchCow 339 rows left in the QA sheet, and I just ran fixes on many for the testers to re-try.

20:23 🔗 db48x wow, fast progress
22:27 🔗 db48x so much for the theory that I'd be better at this after I slept
22:32 🔗 db48x I need to practice the three-color puzzles
