I was/(am?) SO excited for Control resonant, but the main combat showcased in the new Gameplay Trailer just looks like... a worse version of Insomniac's Spider-Man.

Bilbo looking at his phone top

on bottom is ChatGPT

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

You're absolutely right β€” you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

While I still wished the puzzles had more depth, the beautiful style, characterizations and them knowing where to leave a gap in the narrative made it all worthwile! Hope to see them iterating and evolving this concept :)

As the plot unraveld and I got to know literally all 26(?) characters, the true fun began: wild speculations! In the end, it was a great run and very entertaining.

Played the @blakemanorgame.bsky.social over the Winter Holidays and had a FANTASTIC time in the end. I wanted to love it since the start, but honestly had a hard time getting into it, due to the massive cast being introduced at the beginning and the first puzzles feeling rather shallow. HOWEVER

Three weeks ago this statement would have made no sense to me. But on my recent trip to the US I went into a thrift store and in that thrift store was also a pharmacy. A whole new world of medical convenince possibilities opened up in my mind.
