I'm now up to case 5, just finished Investigation 1. Wow. 200% unexpected.

Yeah, I saw that you were also playing it the other day. I just started case 3.

I lost a lot of motivation for case 3 when I saw that (spoiler from early in investigation 1) Maya was the client again. Because that one hasn't been done to death, especially after they just used Trucy for case 2. But the case did grow on me as I went.

Anyway I ended up playing about an hour longer than I was meant to in case 5 just to see if it would really deliver. It really delivered.

Where does all the aversion to rap come from? I don't really like the Hip Hop culture either, but rap is so versatile and used in so many genres that I doubt you guys like no rap part at all.
It just got a bad rap, is all.

I just got to that point. Honestly it doesn't really bother me. If Maya was going to show up an any real capacity, it had to be as either the defendant or an assistant. "Defendant" has more weight, and also gives Phoenix a reason to defend another client in Khura'in despite the court system there. I'm just glad she isn't the victim instead.

As someone who spends a lot of time on internet forums, I've decided the worst kind of people are the ones who post several (like 6-10 or more) topics in the space of a day or two, all with little or no points for discussion - e.g. they're asking a simple yes/no question (bonus points if they do this repeatedly with multiple topics each asking a different simple question, double bonus points if all of these questions were answered very directly in the board FAQ), or they're asking people for opinions on something nobody really cares about, or asking plot questions (with a request for no spoilers) about something that's obviously coming up in the plot soon (bonus points if they mark said questions as being a plot hole, double bonus points if they predict where the plot is going in multiple different threads, with things that contradict what has already happened in the plot).

I've so far met two people who do this, and it sucks. They aren't breaking any rules, but they drain the discussion away from the board. And it sucks going back to a favorite board and find there are 10+ new threads, all at the top of the board, all with topics like the above. All have 0-2 replies, and you have to keep scrolling down to find the actually interesting threads. And they aren't gonna just go away and disappear, of course. You're going to keep seeing 5-10 new threads with inane questions or boring trivia every day for as long as they're around.

I had a dream just today about discord interfering to stop Rainbow Dash from warning the world about an incoming large-scale Zombie attack, but I saved the world by revealing it and telling everyone to inform Russia and USA asap to send their armies.

Can your server live up to that level of craziness?

let's talk about the portal series.

Is anyone else as obsessed with it as I am?

Yes, yes and YES. I'm playing it for 4-5 years and still playing. I love it. My friend once said: "Why can all the games not be Portal variations?" and that's true. Really true. Also, check out Talos Principle.

Portal is the best.

I posted about Talos principle recently. I'm very impressed. Portal is the only comparison, but it's very different.

I'll second the recommendation for The Talos Principle for Portal fans. The tone of the game is different (serious and somber instead of darkly comic) but the puzzles are excellent. Thanks for this recommendation; it looks interesting

I played a similar game called QUBE that I would not recommend unless you're desperate. About 2/3 of the way through the game, the puzzles just turn terrible; a big disappointment.
