Oscar the Grouch and Diogenes the Cynic share some striking similarities

Are there any predecessors for the style of input/progress gating found in Return of the Obra Dinn and The Case of the Golden Idol?

In each, you have blanks requiring info about a given scene that you must fill in correctly, through deduction and other puzzle solving, in order to progress. (See pics for screenshots from each)

I am officially deceased after reading this Wall Street deli owner's response to the question of whether he asks his customers for stock tips:

Was in my old home town a couple days, for a wedding.

My friend keeps using this phrase on me when I'm doing my usual feelings of inadequacy thing and I like it a lot.

It's just so nice that you got to come back when the characters were suddenly (surprisingly, to me at least) at their height. Life seldom presents anything like a do-over, and I imagine one where you can build on your own past must be sweet indeed.

I think I'll re-learn Blender so I can get into 3D stuff again? Having an asset to edit and reuse sounds more my thing than remaking things from scratch regularly like with drawing

I enjoyed checking it out, but wow, some of that 1970s design had not aged well -- by the 1990s.

One of my favorite examples of animation smears is Benny stretching into regular bricks when he builds the SPACESHIP! in The LEGO Movie.

Attempting to gauge interest, so please boost outside of my (rather small) circle:

Would there be any interest in a (largely menu based) game about the fantasy adventuring life.

A bit like Skyrim meets the Oregon Trail.

Goal would be to replace fancy graphics/3d movement with lots of depth and content.

Questions and criticisms welcome.
