  • That is generally the impetus behind religious institutions disdain for it. Their best chance to increase their numbers is through indoctrination of the children of their current members. Conversions rarely occur, despite how much they are talked up when they do.

    They are, of course, wrong to think that. Toys, in practice, generally increase intimacy and likelihood of a couple having children. But not as much as being raised your entire life being told that it is the entire purpose of life and if you don’t have as many kids as you theoretically could, you have done yourself a disservice. So as long as they conflate the results, they will keep assuming they are correct in doing both.

    Ah, fair. Upside down I’s. Yeah that checks out. Ok. Well at least that does mean the premise is possible, if they typed “We going to Disneyworld!” Which, could be the case if English is the dad’s second language. Though without going off the clues of which partial letters are attached to the same scraps of paper, not sure why/how you would go about piecing this together linearly instead of putting common or uncommon words together first.

    But for us, a puzzle is a puzzle. Clearly I didn’t spend enough time looking. Doesn’t matter if the premise was real or fake, the puzzle was real to us.

    My only excuse is that I just got home from New Zealand, and it was a total of 16 hours of flying and 4 hours of driving. And like 8 hours spent in Airports. And I didn’t sleep for any of it.

    Which I was originally the I for going. They both seem to have part of a round letter after them. Unless they typo’d and did like giong or something. But none of the O’s fit that guess either. And the S isn’t partially cut off to be the round part following either I for Disney. It’s all just a little off from making sense. Like one or two of the letters have the right partial letter to make sense for having been together before cutting. It’s almost weird at this point that a couple of them do line up properly to make sense. Since the majority don’t.

    Not sure what exactly was changed on it to make it fit their fun little joke better. But something for sure was.







  • Ah, just figured out of all my friends it’s all the adhd’ers that have the whole mental block about seeing something and assuming it’ll be impossible to learn so never trying or looking it up. When it takes less than 5 minutes to permanently learn how to forever be able to simply solve these puzzles.

    I just show them how to do it and they are surprised it’s actually as easy as I made it look.



  • Hehe yeah, I was always put off on souls games because people described them as being hard, then when there wasn’t alot of choice early on in VR games, I picked up a souls-like since it was the closest I could get to a long-form rpg at the time. And it wasn’t that hard at all, but people were still complaining about how hard it was all the time… so I tried other souls games on desktop, and they were fine too. So I picked up the actual dark souls… this is what people were complaining about? It’s like, not even megaman difficulty?

    That was when I learned that it’s a good thing there wasn’t much internet yet back when I was playing megaman games, or I might have never tried them either. And also it turns out I like “hard” games, to me that is like the whole point of games. If you finish something first try, then you didn’t get better at anything.
