@SusanArendt I don’t know if you’ve already done these things but I’m about 15 hours into the game and found it much more enjoyable after I grabbed the gear suggested here: https://t.co/S0JhetFTFx

@SusanArendt The best part about living so close to the parks is that I can pop over for a walk around. I love walking around Epcot and doing the loop through the countries. Not everyone gets a kick out of just *being* there but I enjoy the fantasy of the parks. I hope you have a great day!

Growing up in #Toronto, I held #NYC in awe. Per the joke, one Torontonian changes the lightbulb, the other goes New York to make sure lightbulbs are still in. I had a *great* place to stay in the City: my cousin Maxine's rent-controlled place in a midtown doorman building.

@lizaledwards Elden Ring ran surprisingly well and inspired my 4th playthrough ☺️

@ESO_Loremaster I think someday the story of how Raz found himself in so many parts of the game would make for a great blog post for someone to write.

@Viewtifuljay83 @Bigrebo Your typical order:

@Viewtifuljay83 @Bigrebo Your poor ravaged taste buds. They must cower in fear each night of what the day will bring.

@Viewtifuljay83 @Bigrebo Do you still take them hot-as-the-sunfire spicy?

The 80s were a wild time to be a kid.

@DennisMicka Oh! My heart. It still doesn’t seem real to me. I really respected him.

@JKashaar Tornado for me. It's the easiest way to see the logical flow of how the nodes that do the "real work" of the script are connected to each other (in my brain, at least.) All the other stuff is "just" the context that enables the flow of nodes to do their jobs.

@SusanArendt What a great gift you’ve given me by telling me about this! I love documentaries and I love this film! What a treat!

@FooWasHereToo @NelleBot @Bigrebo @Viewtifuljay83 That's one of my favorite memories from launching ESO. The sound effect on that was glorious.

@Bigrebo @Viewtifuljay83 I think the first quest step is "scary" because it could be any number of scraps. With the second I know as a player how many I'm signing up for. The first works better in a game where you have a "scanner" to help you find them in the world, though.

[David Ford @Nodyin]

@Bigrebo @Viewtifuljay83 I love thinking about this.
1 item to collect? That's just a fetch quest, boo!
2 items to collect? Busywork, barely better than a fetch quest.
3 items to collect? Hmm, that starts to feel like a real quest step.
4 items? That's way too much! Gah!
