So sorry you're going through it. Hoping you can find the strength to polish up your resume and spend some time on your days off looking for a better place to work. The best time to be looking for a job is when you already have one.

Darkness in science often means mystery. But mysteries can be answers in and of themselves—at least, until you dig even deeper.

Dark, darker, yet darker...

I haven't played Callisto Protocol, but it seems like it's explicitly a spiritual successor, yeah

I think it's a bit of a stroke of genius on the article author's part, because it's a great double entendre the way it's written.

If exploration, discovery, and puzzling out mysteries aren't engaging for you, it might just not be your type of game.

I think that was the joke.

Well, sure, but with this device there's maybe the potential for indie developers to do something unique with that hardware I suppose?

Not really sure what the barriers to entry are for an indie dev to develop for the Switch. Maybe it's not as difficult as I imagine it is. /shrug

Oh shit. I'm bookmarking this. I might have to set up my Vive Pro again after so many years...

Without giving any specific spoilers, the game has a primarily archaeological feel, you will be following breadcrumbs around to various places in the solar system (your journal is important!!!) and learning about the ancient civilization that mysteriously disappeared. finally piecing together the whole picture is one of the most powerful moments I've ever had in gaming. while there are some NPCs to talk to, the game is primarily driven by your own exploration and the knowledge you pick up along the way.

there's no "correct order" to do things in, so if you feel like you've hit a dead end or you can't figure out what you should be doing at a particular place, consider going somewhere else. and most importantly: follow your curiosity

Back when I was in high school, it wasn't uncommon for teachers to use the same restrooms as the students. I can't quite remember but I think there were only a couple staff toilets on the campus, one in each gendered locker room and one in the front office.

Anyway, my point is there's at least the possibility that the principal was just using the bathroom normally and the poor kid was being... less than subtle about what he was doing in the stall.

I'm fairly sure the climate changes described in the article are going to happen regardless of whether we cut down emissions in the immediate future.

This proposal doesn't seem like it's to "buy more time", but rather to react to warming that's already happened.

If anyone hasn't played this game yet: don't read the article!

I highly recommend you experience this for yourself while knowing as little as possible about it. Top tier game.
