I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took a jar of red pepper jelly to the knee

Blogged about my favorite Big Walk puzzle and how it distilled the game's thesis into a single 5-minute puzzle. Small spoilers for this puzzle!

I got to sit down with the mind behind the oddly specific yet always enjoyable account @quest64official.bsky.social. Why Quest 64? How does their brain come up with this stuff? How do they keep it so consistent? youtu.be/q2yzmXJW5QI?...

Really, really enjoying SKALD: Against the Black Priory so far. It's a throwback to the era of CRPGs where the UI took up most of the screen and your cursor was a little gauntlet. Fun writing, lots of eldritch horrors, rewarding exploration, tactical combat, bopping music. Love it.
