Talos Principle play time: I HOPE THIS IS RECTIFIED, POSTHASTE

I'm about halfway through, and I'm enjoying it enough, despite having similar problems with few save points and a bullshit death or two. My main problem is with Ripley's voice. It's not good. She sounds like a teenager trying to convince everyone that she's a no-nonsense adult so she can buy wine coolers or something. Every time she swears, it sounds unnatural, and I chuckle aloud to myself. Oh, and the game apparently expects me to be surprised every time someone who is locked off behind a window gets attacked by something, as if it hasn't been a dead giveaway the whole time.

You can find buckets of paint that let you choose from a list of predefined phrases to write on a wall. Those messages are propagated to friends that are also playing. One of the things that I like about it is that you get new phrases based on your progress and various interactions in-game. I found some paint right after completing a puzzle very quickly, and found that the 20-second challenge message had been added to the list. As for Goldblum, your guess is as good as mine.

Finished the game (all required puzzles + tower), and man, is it good. I didn't concentrate too much on getting stars (had 10 by the end), but I want to go back through and finish everything up. There were only a couple small things that I wasn't too keen on: The sigil tangram-esque puzzles. I didn't find them interesting enough as puzzles to care about spending a bunch of time and effort to complete them, so if one took more than a few minutes, I just looked up the answer. The final area of the tower could have used some checkpoints in it so that I didn't have to do a bunch of stuff all over again when it turned out I couldn't make a jump I thought was possible. The normal puzzles, however, were great! I thought Croteam did a good job of pacing the difficulty, and liked how later puzzles built on and even subverted expectations taught in earlier areas.

Your choice of character appearance is strangely foreshadowing:

From what people have found, it seems like anything the debug mode can do is only present on that player's instance of the game, and you can't really do much (at least in a PVP sense). One of the things it has done is allowed people like Illusorywall to do more digging into the more ambiguous mechanics like miracle resonance and Vagrants. And there was a brief kerfuffle when Bandai Namco started taking down hosted copies of the debug EXE and the agency they hired to do so accidentally hit DSFix with a takedown as well, but that's been sorted out by now and everything's fine.

toblix complains:

I don't know what was going on, but for some reason I had a fraction-of-a-second delay in the audio for this episode that was just enough to bother me when people's lips were clearly visible. I've been watching them all on Blu-Ray, and it hasn't been a problem before. That guitar scene was fucking awful.

It looks like the initial version of the Steamworks update inadvertently distributed a debug version of the EXE: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=954997

I like how they forgot to put in a background layer, so all you see is the transparency pattern. Most Best Game Boxart

There's one major trans character that you can have any amount of real interaction with, but yes. You can talk to him and find out more about his background and how it works in DA:I's setting. I haven't delved into it yet, but I'm pretty sure some sort of magic is involved. One of the writers made a blog post about the creation of that character: http://blog.bioware.com/2014/12/04/building-a-character-cremisius-krem-aclassi/ Sean's comparison/assumption of DA:I and Darks Souls' similarity is one of the few times I've ever reacted out loud when listening to a podcast. "FFF-WHAT?"

Both Chris and Jake "woof" in the most recent Twin Peaks Rewatch episode.

You are a cold, calculating machine. "You want a Charmander? I've got, like, a thousand non-shiny (shudder) rejects sitting around here somewhere. Here, this one has five perfect stats and a Modest personality, and it's female, so it's good for breeding. Wanna get smeared across the floor by a team of perfect shinies battle?" But you gave me a Meowth, so I think that absolves you of any/everything in my eyes.

I might be up for trying for Tabula Rasa. I played the Diamond Heist with my brother a bunch last night, but didn't manage to complete it because it was getting late, and I was getting tired and frustrated. It's a bit like Shadow Raid, in that there's a bunch of things to get and ways to get them, but there are enough guards and civilians around that you have to be very careful or willing to go loud. The final room also has a randomized floor-plate-triggered poison gas trap/alarm thing. Tripped it once when by brother wasn't paying attention and just ran into the room, and a second time when there was a miscommunication about the safe path. And then I gave up because it was late, etc.

New version of DSfix - http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/?p=652 Current version of DSCfix (connectivity fix) doesn't work with the Steamworks update, may or may not break actual functionality, and a new version may or may not be coming/possible. So disable or uninstall it. Don't know about the mouse fix, because what kind of maniac would use a mouse for this game?

I have 5 or 6 bids of 200-300 gems on some smaller things, and have maintained my top-100-bids position on all of them so far. As long as there isn't any bid sniping, I should eventually have some games.

PRAISE THE SUN http://steamcommunity.com/games/211420/announcements/detail/206368522048405952 The GFWL-Steamworks switch has finally happened! You will have to do a bit of fiddling to get saves transferred, but it's not much! Also, it looks like the update is having issues with the current versions of DSCfix (the multiplayer connection fix) and DSMfix (mouse input fix), which isn't all that surprising.

Check out 202-203 for more detailed definitions, but that reads to me like this: Casting time is the actual time it takes to perform whatever ritual you need to do to activate the effect. You are making magical gestures or speaking magical words, but most (mechanically) importantly, maintaining concentration. Duration is how long the actual effect lasts. Prayer of Healing's duration is instantaneous, so its healing effect is fully manifested the moment the casting time completes, as opposed to, say, a Light spell that can be cast quickly (1 action), but provides its effect continuously for an hour before fading out.

Oh, yeah. Cards are worth around 20-30, depending on how many cards are in the set, it seems. Icons and backgrounds are anywhere from 40-200.

Don't thank me, it's all Jake's fault. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, JAKE

halp i cant get this amiibo thing to work I think we might already be 3DS friends, but just in case (and if anybody else wants it): 5429 7506 5798

I forgot about Pirate's Curse. I liked Risky's Revenge and then bought the original GBA game on the 3DS Virtual Console, but the controls on that one are a bit fiddly, and I stopped playing it. I think the huge Kickstarter campaign they ran for the newest one overshadowed the fact that there was already a Shantae game in development.
