#case 23

[kayden-i-guess]

Playing Case 23, I commend Dale VanderMeer for his commitment because if I saw a woman's corpse magically hang upside down whilst a bunch of months fly out of her mouth I would've immediately quit my job forever but he really said " I need to collect all the evidence first".

Time trial type shit where you auto fail and have to start over if you don’t complete the task within a certain time limit that has a ticking down clock.

Now, this mechanic is fine provided that the game gives you plenty of time to do The Task, there are methods of gaining more time/slowing the clock, or the game itself is built with this mechanic in mind (Warioware is fine, for example)

But I mostly play fucking puzzle games/escape rooms, and idk what it is about puzzle and escape room game devs (Thinking very specifically of Cube Escape: Case 23 here, if you know you know) that makes them think putting a timer on their game is a good idea, but I can promise you this:

If you do this, I will pull up a guide because I cannot think THAT deeply under that kind of time restraint, why would you do that in the first place? Who can think critically enough to solve a relatively complex series of Escape Room style puzzles when there's a relatively unforgiving timer set on it that puts you back at the start of the puzzle sequence upon failing?

Anyways, I spent too long stuck on that sequence in Case 23 and I am still a little salty.

actually @ everyone least favorite game mechanic/type of level in videogames

for extra fun points you can’t say escorting missions and ice physics levels (even if you’re right) or water levels (because you’re wrong)

olympics coming up…… athlete aus on the mind….. satoru as a swimmer….. unreasonably large wingspan…. huge hands..... thinks “official” competitions and tournaments are boring because he can’t use the goofy purple googly eyes goggles he likes to practice in…… practices at ungodly hours solely because he likes when the pool is empty because that means you’ll dip your feet in at the edge and be there to greet him with a kiss when he’s finished his laps….. they bring up the stats board and it’s just his name ten times before the next fastest person and he could still lap them, and even tho he’ll always put so much pressure on himself to be the best, it’s worth it to have you hold his face and tell him you’re proud of him... he’s gotten so much merch from events and sponsorships and he used to think they just created clutter but that all changes when you start to wear his clothes (esp the ones with his name on it… he’s not proud to admit that does Something to him)…. always looks up to the stands when he finishes a race and if he knows you’re not there, he looks right at the camera, draws an infinity sign with his fingers, and blows a kiss (which, some commentators routinely call “unsportsmanlike conduct” but he doesn’t care, and always, publicly says he’ll pay the fees if it means blowing a kiss to his girl at home)

Dale VanderMeer after seeing shadow creature that killed a police officer: I should shave my beard.
