Amazing snip, you hit the point exactly.

The passing teapot at the end was a wild bit of whiplash 😂

It really does ring true. This is exactly why I run into a brick wall arguing with my dad. He is a smart guy generally and we will agree on most things until it runs into something that threatens his identity narrative. Then NOPE.

Lol no I definitely slept plenty, especially this past week 😂 Idk when I get in the zone I can zoom. It's getting in the zone that's the hard part!

Thanks Jimothy! Yeah I was shooting for the stars with that goal 😅

Oh yes, many times! There are 3 novels, 2 prequels & 1 in-betweenquel. I love all of them, though I think the first two are a lot stronger than the third.

My brother & I played Riven as kids without using a guide, and it took us MONTHS to beat it. Hence why this ☝️ moment was so cathartic 😄
