I really, really missed this, but as I platinum’ed it two days ago, this is not relevant to me anymore. Great game, but way too many weapons and suits and traps you just didn’t find any use for. And being colourblind, the “tag” option among all the colourful machine parts was just not helping, so I pretty much found a…

I can’t recall a character I’ve ever wanted to slap the ever loving shit out of more than Sylens. Not kill, or jail, or come to terms with or engage in any introspective moral judgement, just one big home run Happy Gilmore wind up backhanded bitch slap right across the face.

When selling items, if you scroll down to the resources section, the first category that pops up is valuables to sell. You can mark everything by hitting the Triangle button, and then quickly sell it all by holding down X.

I think I remember previous editors talking about passing on stuff that seemed too “overwritten” to seem legit. Apparently that rule no longer applies.

Exactly what I think when I get to a story and its super long, I skim over it and only look for and read the important stuff. Too many details makes me think to myself the author is making it up or is trying to fill up their story to make it seem more realistic. That’s my thought. 

In general I didn’t love the story. Old people laughed at him and the returned the money he dropped? Meh. Story of my childhood.

You are my new favorite person.  Thanks!

But aren’t you fascinated by how paper routes worked in some random small town 35 years ago, hmmm?

That story could have been four or five paragraphs long. Bad form the including it - but even worse form making it the first story.

Hi Friend!

I posted a comment asking people not include too many extraneous details, and someone strongly disagreed with me and said the details made them feel like the story was real and verifiable. After reading the first story, I stand by my opinion. I did not need 10 paragraphs(!) of exposition explaining how newspaper…

No kidding, like ok we get it! You like to get descriptive with the location but get on with it already!

I think the extraneous details were meant to make it feel more “real” but instead I was rolling my eyes at how fake it felt. You remember all that shit from 35 years ago?

this great thank you

Has anyone compiled a Google Doc of all of this years’ submitted stories? I’ve tried to read them all, but keep getting lost after the page reloads...

Aw man I’m not bummed and glad there aren’t many “real life” scares this year. Those are always way scarier for me than the "got a bad feeling and later learned this house had something happen here" stories, but then again I'm also glad fewer people are being traumatized by like, the scary landlord creeping in through…

Oooo this is wonderful. One quick note, I wrote ghost girl and it looks like the handle is a little off. I’m “Notyourstolove” rather than “notyourlostlove.” Thank you!

Yay! I’ve been looking forward to this all month!!
