I didn’t know that resting triggered NPCs until someone told me. I thought it was time of day or something else that I hadn’t thought about. There’s literally no way to tell that resting is what makes the NPC appear, or any indication that that’s a universal mechanic.

I can't get the link because I'm at work, but search for "full screenshot of r/place 2022" and you'll find the relevant Reddit thread 😃

I honestly have no idea how many side quests I've accepted, or what stories I'm in the middle of

I’m going to miss hearing "you should be watching" ☹️

To be fair, we're basically seeing the world post-doom.

And I hope you wrote it down somewhere, because the game certainly won't help you remember that tidbit! 

It’s really annoying how sometimes you need to rest at a site of grace to move the quest forward. It's entirely unintuitive, especially since you usually don't want to rest b because it respawns the enemies. 

Place was, and still is, the most beautiful expression of the internet. It’s amazing that so many people worked together —not just each community creating their own mosaic, but different communities joining up to make something together—and created something cohesive and positive!

RIGHT?!

I remember seeing an article about this in a Pokemon magazine back in the day. I think it was Pojo's? It looked so cool!

I mean

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re mandated to use some engine or other technology that keeps the file sizes so large.

Totally agree about feeling scared to explore. It’s a very different vibe from BotW, where I’d see cool shit and run towards it... Here I’m usually certain that cool shit is going to kick my ass

How would making their GPUs *worse* at mining drive prices up?

Maybe I’m lucky, but I see very few antagonistic messages! Most of the time they’re harmless, and quite a few have been really helpful (letting me know about an ambush, or a hint about an environmental puzzle, etc).

“Not on my watch. Can’t crunch if your contract has 13 hour days from the jump!” 🙃

I just really love the messages and bloodstains. Creates a weird sense of community lol

They had a number of articles about Arceus, but no review. And I remember they mentioned their copy of Elden Ring was delayed because of the platform their reviewer wanted, but no review as of yet. 

When I say "lately," I mean, "over the past few months" lol. Like, I don't think they reviewed Arceus or Elden Ring, which is kind of crazy!

Lately, I feel like Kotaku has been doing review round ups instead of reviews lol.
