  • My immediate thought after last episodes cliffhanger was… So what? Do we care? And sure enough, we don’t.

    I wonder if this, combined with the helplessness the hive seems to have regarding food, is meant to highlight just how much the hive isn’t what Carol wants it to be.

    Carol wants the hive to be an enemy. Ah ha! They’re eating people! That’s evil enemy behavior! But… it’s really not a big deal.


  • Realistically, no. But should as in recommended, yes.

    If I read your username I’m going to read/say it in my head, so I’m going to attempt to pronounce it.

    If every username was just a long number, I’d probably start to find a pronounceable, and specifically memorable substring to remember. A username of “846768556888434”, I’ll call you “34” from now on.

    In the case of OP, “YICHM”, you’ll probably just be called “Y-CHIM” or maybe “Why Jim”. Is that your name? No. But is that what I’ll remember, probably.

    But even pronounceable names, like mine, probably get shortened. Just “Mimic” or just “Jar”.

    Which is all just to say I’m going to try and pronounce it no matter what you have for a username, so if you want others to pronounce it the same way, it should be pronounceable.

    RPN or Reverse Polish Notation is a notation for calculators to be less ambiguous. The last numbers use the operator to their right, repeat. So no need for parenthesis or PEMDAS.

    • 2 5 8 5 - × +
    • (8 - 5 = 3)
    • 2 5 3 × +
    • (5 × 3 = 15)
    • 15 2 +
    • (15 + 2 = 17)
    • 17

    To add, give me some way of tracking these collectables.

    If I’ve collected all of the trinkets in a given area, mark that area in some way. If there are 100 trinkets, number them and give me a list. Give me a map, hints, thing that beeps, something.

    I don’t need any of the above to be unlocked from the start. You can add it in the post game or after I’ve collected some percentage of them or make it a side quest.

    It’s annoying going online and someone has posted “I found 99 of 100 things, where else to look?” and basically no one can help them. It’s annoying being that person, to be so close and yet so far.
