Stopping by to declare that James Hoffman is the best ☕

I was prepared but I can imagine it was quite the surprise

I recently read Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea books, really interesting in that first half are kids lit and the second half were written 30 years later for a grown audience.

Best of both worlds! Though I did find the kids books way more fun.

I have. Random outdoor cat walked over to me, demanded pets, it noticed a bird, killed the bird, and came back to me looking for more attention. I was not impressed.

Oh man… like everything?

I describe the game as “Holy shit, I didn’t know I could do that” the game.

The game is all about secrets, did you get as far as looking into the in-game game manual? It’s vital, and none of it is obvious.

There’s also a lot of NES/SNES Nostalgia, if you don’t miss through leafing through game manuals or issues of EGM this might not hit for you as much as it did for me.

A lot of folk bounce off the game because the combat is too difficult, or because the puzzles are too obtuse. Personally I loved it though.

I finished the game and immediately bought a Tunic T-shirt just so I’d remember how much I liked the game. My only piece of videogame apparel
