seems like a good step to take, probably a difficult one for you guys. props to you!

also the incredible transparency is just… breath of fresh air doesn’t do it justice

They do different things for me.

PoE satisfies my creative side in the sense that I can find say, a great unique item, or support gem, want to make a cool build out of it, and give that a shot. I also love that the endgame experience is highly customizable (in the form of hideout, as well as map-running choices, atlas passives, etc)

I’m only level ~40 or so in D4 so take this with a grain of salt – although D4 doesn’t appear to have nearly the same level of customizability that PoE does, what it does offer me is an enormous world I can explore pretty much from the get-go. PoE is extremely linear, all throughout. Another thing D4 does really well is the feeling of its combat. Basic skills being a free, but weaker skill to help generate resource to more infrequently use a Core skill is a satisfying recipe, IMO. PoE would often feel like a screen clearing stomp-fest (and, at times, require it) and even though that can be satisfying in its own way, it’s more fun for me if I feel like I have to struggle and claw my way into wins.

the first one is like what i have. spatial sequence synesthesia. it also manifests most strongly when imagining months of the year, but instead of an oval mine is kind of an arc that starts on the left and ends on the right, with a weird emphasis/broadness on april (my birth month)

TUNIC, FEZ, Nier Automata, Outer Wilds.

I also have a soft spot for Paper Mario and TTYD, those soundtracks are full of bops

this is probably mine, too. i really, really wanted to like it… don’t know why it never clicked with me, but part of me suspects it’s the general aesthetic. i just feel like that whole “medieval” open world look is so overdone. maybe i’m expecting too much.

all the time. I have a problem. I’m always seeking the next mindblowing album experience. gotta go back to the trieds and trues occasionally!

got a lot going on, an important job interview, studying, trying to help a friend going through a tough time.

mmmmm that does ring some bells. i hadn’t really delved into it at the time, and i’d heard tales of drama… (which might be the reason for the former!)

thanks :3

a few of importance to me:

One Hundred Years of Solitude

Guards! Guards!
