I had this just last night and didn’t realise. Everything else was working fine, but then I glanced at my phone and realised that it was 2 hours later than the computer was showing.

Yes, and I think it serves as a microcosm of a lot of recurring ideas and themes that crop up again and again in the rest of the series.

Actually, they seem to be launching into a new phase of compatibility, with a version 2 component set being discussed on their website that has much broader capabilities.

For me it was the wire trap.

I turned both and felt the results from Ecosia weren’t as useful. I’ve been using Qwant for a few months now. Qwant also has the bonus of being one character away from Qwantz.com, one of my favourite websites.

And then suddenly ceased to exist.

I still haven’t played 2!

I’d also recommend The Talos Principle and The Turing Test for similar itch scratches.

The Man in the High Castle has a pretty good take on this.

It was our grain that they were taking. The potatoes were attacked by fungus.

Ireland isn’t bad from a basic survival perspective - massive food surplus and plenty of water - but if we wanted to maintain current living standards, I think we would fall down on power as it stands currently. Plenty of natural wind and tidal power resources that are underutilised.

I thought the cover photo would be a little closer to the ground, but I guess it’s on a table or something.

If you remember the “glory days” pre ubiquitous constant internet connections, you had to enter a big long code when installing any software. I think the principle is that the license key is some sort of decryption key that unlocks a core part of the software which would otherwise prevent it running.

I wonder how many obstacles there are to running the CD ROM that OP got? (Apart from my obvious one of not having a cd drive!)

Yeah I figured there weren’t enough keys but couldn’t tell if there was a workaround using layers or something.

How much of a learning curve is there with it? Is it actually feasible to type with?

That’s funny, I’m doing the exact same thing. Got credits on BP and then started into CO. I don’t think I’ll go for the full puzzle experience with BP, I’ve had my fill.

I watched a bit of Michael Alm’s video on this, but noped out when I saw all of the little boxes of consumables appearing. If regular printer ink is already exorbitant, I can only imagine what these proprietary cartridges will cost.

This is a common theme across all medications on occasion. Maintaining a global supply chain is tricky. I’ve never seen a shortage of sertraline before, but it wouldn’t surprise me. They’re usually short-term, but you may want to talk to your doctor about an alternative to bridge the gap.

I feel like making that comment earlier broke my run of bad luck and I “completed” the game. (There’s obviously a tonne of additional puzzles to work out, but I think I might take a break from this for now!)
