  • I don’t like the taste of coffee, so I drink energy drinks. Energy drinks often have much more caffeine than a cup of coffee. for example, I drink Alani brand, they have a whopping 200(!) mg of caffeine per can.

    When I drank one every day of the week at work, I then wouldn’t drink any on the weekend because it didn’t matter if I had energy. By Sunday I would have a day long caffeine headache and it was awful, but I refused to drink an energy drink JUST to stave off the headache because it made me feel like a junkie lol.

    Instead, I now drink one every other day of the week, and I don’t have headaches. That is how I chemically (not psychologically) became addicted to caffeine.




  • MECHANICAL/GAME STRUCTURE SPOILERS

    Yeah, you would need to play it at least a couple “rounds” for it to really kick into full effect. It’s a choice heavy game where most choices alter your route in ways that sort of become more and more unique the further you get, until it kicks you back to the start allowing you to make different choices, and the culmination of a few rounds results in a unique true end game.

    The ways or fact that this is happening are not clear until you’ve gone through enough to start to see how what you do manipulates the world state, and the true story and meaning behind it all sort of slowly unfolds and even after completion requires some wonder and unpacking on the part of the player to fully enjoy.

    I do find it a shame you didn’t get hooked into it, it might just be one of those things where you have to come to it in just the right mood for it to really have full effect.



  • It’s not super common, but it’s been around in an essentially free form through Garry’s Mod for a very very long time, so most people have had their fill of it there or in modes within other games. Roblox also has one, even Call of Duty Cold War had a prop hunt mode, so it’s a lot harder for paid standalone games to make a dent, but this one does a lot more than just strict prop hunt, I think it deserves more population
