The answer to the physics question, i think - is that theres still hydrogen in the star when its doing fusion - the fusion mostly happens in the center of the star - fusing one thing into 2 is easier than fusing 2 things into 2

I didn't have to look anything up and it took me maybe about 4 hours to beat, but I agree that this game is kind of shallow, especially in comparison to something like Inside. I loved the simplicity of it and that I didn't need any instructions in order to enjoy it, but there definitely isn't much to extrapolate from here, and I was pretty disappointed that I never was able to figure out what the stakes were.

“Contemplate my bachelorhood” sounds like code for masturbation, just saying

I don’t think looking up solutions when we can’t figure them out is no longer experiencing the game. Are you telling me that I’m experiencing a game 99% of the time but 1% of outside context invalidates that? Games are not played in a vacuum. I don’t think we were cheating ourselves out of experience when our friend told us how to beat a puzzle in Link to the Past or Sonic CD or whatever. Games like all art are meant to be experienced in ways you find *enjoyable*, and some people like to be guided through a museum. Just because someone tells me the hidden symbolism in a painting doesn’t make the symbolism or the experience less meaningful.

Man what a service you guys provide! Entertainment aspect aside, amazing as it is. I miss so many games on my radar and this show helps me play catch up, literally I suppose. Thank you noble friends!

I would love to see you guys play Starship Titanic, the Douglas Adams "Hitchhikers Guide" game.

While we’re on the topic of puzzle games, I’m curious; has anyone played a game called fire n’ ice? It’s an old NES game that had a wizard who used his wand to either create or remove blocks of ice and move those blocks around a 2d grid to put out fires so he could cross to the other side of a puzzle. If you haven’t played it, give it a look see. It holds up.

the thing with the cicadas is that many of those animals just have less children, chickens actually evolved similarly (also in china!). They evolved to feast on the pretty much equally rare bamboo flowering, and have a bunch of eggs when that happens. Humans saw this and were like “what if we feed them all the time” and the chickens then just laid eggs eggs all the time, and we were like “mm tasty,” and the rest is huevo history
