first chance to avoid spoilers
spoiler second chance
third chance
spoiler fourth chance
fifth and last chance, i spoil a lot of stuff here.
spoiler just in case :p but seriously though, i've played about 20 hours, I know (and visited quite a bit) about the quantum moon, i've learned about quantum imaging, i know about the eye of the universe and how the nomai have been trying to reach it (that and quite a bit about their culture), I know that if I want to reach this mystical "seventh location" that I need to have the nomai shrine be on the north pole of the quantum moon but i can't even do that bcs when i put but my scout on the moon and leave it just gives static so i can't keep in the same place. I'm trying to learn about quantum entanglement but no matter what I do the shrine doesn't tell me that i've recalled it's rule yet. i know about the ash twin project, my best guess is that it's a dome inside the twin made for evacuation in the case that the sun goes supernova (but they're all dead now anyway so ig that was for nothing), the vessel is somewhere in dark bramble but tbh I can't be bothered to look for it, it's long gone. oh and not to mention the sunless city on ember twin, what is left to look at??? there isn't anything quantum there (that I know of) so I can't just stand on it and turn my flashlight and off and zoop over somewhere else. idk what i'm yapping abt this game is just driving me crazy. there's prob a lot more i have recorded in my rumors but i don't wanna go through everything.

I actively enjoy spoiling stuff for myself, but you didn't need to spoiler tag because I didn't understand any of it anyways

this comment has been living rent free in my head since I've read it. Why do you like spoiling things for yourself?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Because I don't like uncertainty and drama. Most people watch sitcoms and enjoy people getting into awkward situations. I don't. It's genuinely worse than watching anything else for me. The very thing that makes stories impactful and good makes it hard for me to enjoy them. If I know the ending, I don't have the stress of not knowing the ending.

Sometimes I can endure it if I see value in a fresh perspective, but it makes most things more fun if I spoil it. If I enjoy it spoiled, I know it has rewatch value. If it sucks when you know the truth, that's all it had going for it.
