I think it's when they put him in the little car.

we would like to issue a correction: what you can't see CAN in fact hurt you

Hovering Skull @hoveringskull.bsky.social · 2d

the hour grows late
FOG OBSCURES THE WORLD AROUND YOU.
FOG HIDES THE MONSTERS.
WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE CAN'T HURT YOU.

Is your viewport clear as an unmuddied lake?

Even weightless, disembodied bones need exercise.

Good goals! Me, I've been combining 1 with 2 and 4 by:
- running on a treadmill while watching shows in Spanish
- playing narrative video games in Spanish.

for some of us, every season is spooky season

I recall playing S2 for the first time as a kid, and being THRILLED by the logistics mgmt. Then, I learned that every game was won by interacting with its wonky combat system.

I come back to ATS every few months to try for that final seal. Each time I get HEARTSTOPPING moments, no combat necessary.

Hovering Skull @hoveringskull.bsky.social · 13d

ATS hype! What an incredible twist on the Settlers formula. It was always missing TIME PRESSURE and PORRIDGE
