The Runic Conjecture by Lio Lim

Short free browser game.

I was hoping it was more than just drawing lines, but it was still interesting.

Missing Translation on Steam

I played Missing Translation, free on steam.

Wow it sucked lol yet still had some cool stuff. Instead of being focused on translation, it's 75 boring very repetitive puzzles. The small glimmer of language stuff is good and I wish the whole game was built around it. Was very disappointing that after the 75 puzzles there wasn't any content built around the language.

The dev had something much bigger planned so I wonder what happened.

Playing some baldurs gate 3. Basically feels like a Divinity reskin.

Not loving it, but still fun. Just had a weird dialogue moment in the main quest. A guy popped up and said he could help me, but he implied there would be a heavy cost. I said sounds good. He was surprised I just accepted it, but then immediately started acting like I refused his help. I also missed out on all the details so I'm super confused yet the following dialogue acted like I was fully informed of everything.

Some more baldurs gate.

It's amazing how bad it is at keeping track of things. I guess I went to a place early because it had some dialogue that spoiled stuff that hasn't actually happened yet. Also then one of my companions got super angry because I guess by going here I betrayed them, but again this was just a random place I found and I had no clue it was a one way door.

Also I found a mouse that was mean so I killed it. Then another mouse pleaded for me to stop killing them, so I didn't kill anymore mice. Yet later on the game acted like I had ignored the mouse's request.

I finished Baldur's Gate 3. It was really broken in regards to keeping track of things. Enjoyed my time with it, but glad I wasn't too invested because the flaws were really annoying.

For example I walk into a place and everyone just starts talking about "past" events that certainly have not happened yet. Or the green chick pulling a 180 over and over again. "Don't you dare do this thing! I will kill you if you do it!" and then a short time later when literally nothing has happened related to her "How dare you not do this thing! I will kill you unless you do it!"

I understand how much effort they put in to make the game react to different player paths, but in my playthrough it just didn't work. Also it's kinda funny but I guess I missed a companion at the very start of the game. I just had shadowheart, vampire, and green chick. Some people joined my camp but then would randomly leave.

Also one part was kinda annoying and felt like I was cheated. There was a super hard skill check, one the game wanted to force failure on, yet I got a natural 20 and passed. The game just kinda ignored that.

Better than Divinity Original Sin 2 though. I liked that game a lot, it had a similar lack of freedom but wasn't as broken, but the characters in BG3 were great most of the time. I just ignored the green chick after she got too annoying.

I played Return to Grace since it is leaving gamepass.

Mostly meh but still enjoyable. Similar to lots of other short sci fi games, just not as good across the board. Probably the worst puzzles I have ever experienced though.

"Here is an 8x8 grid of lights. Some are on, some are off. Your challenge is to... click all the on ones and then click the four in the center to make a square"

Wow, Baldur's Gate 3 was way more broken for me than I thought. I'm watching a kill every npc playthrough and there is just so much more that broke for me than I realized.

One example from act 2, the shar dungeon.

you sure about that? there are soo many and several are mutually exclusive. you can't get minthra on a good play though for instance. i'm playing a chaotic playthough specifically because i wanted minthara in my party. xD

Yeah I used a loophole.

It's pretty big but the opening is very accessible.
