Losing endings in Time: All Things Come to an End

I also got enamored of all the crazy ways one can lose the game. I made a secret list of them: plover.net/~davidw/sol/...

I had already played it quite some time ago and had the illusions of fond memories of it. I also felt it was the sort of game that both needed a verbose walkthough and one that I had a decent chance at succeeding at. And I discovered I needed help with it as well, because it is VERY difficult.

I suppose if a Neutral Barbarian had a cheevos card, finding Sierra barefoot in the snow could be on it. Glad he's getting so much enjoyment from it?

I do run my finger inside the shell to get the last bit of egg, but I only know to do that because I read a book by Sam Levenson where he described his mother doing that in a chapter about food and never quite having enough of it, so nothing could be wasted.

Infinite Craft Emojis

A couple days ago, I found the fire emoji in Infinite Craft, quite by accident, and I've spent time I don't have finding more emojis via that first one. It feels like I've unlocked a secret section of the game. I'm documenting my finds at plover.net/~davidw/ic/I...

Night's Master is excellent and the first sequel Death's Master is almost as good. But I have trouble remembering what Delusion's Master is about, and I can't remember anything at all about the Delirium's Mistress.

Lucky. The best abandoned food I've ever found (at different times) in real life was a chocolate bar and a bag of pretzels. The chocolate bar was on top of a snowbank beside a mailbox.
