Love taking a photo of a game setup for a review, and then realizing I forgot something ... and then adding that and taking another photo and realizing I forgot something else.

I guess this old article is pertinent again
I think you mean the data center was "impacted by objects."

I just read this one! That was a fun one--a nice way to break out of the usual time loop tropes, and also the best possible title for the book.
I just played this for the first time last week and then immediately bought a copy. :)
