hempuli made a colleciton of solitaire games, I can't wait to feel stupid as fuck playing them

Quiet public

hempuli makes really incredible puzzles that by and large do NOT jive with how my brain works; I scrubbed out of Baba in like world 2 or 3, I just do not understand that game at all

But I'm a sicko for solitaire games and with how many variants are in there I figure there'll be something that can challenge me while also not infuriating me

Quiet public

I played a round of lock solitaire and then one of hanoi solitaire before my food was cooked and I liked them! That bodes well!

Quiet public

Hanoi solitaire definitely too easy for me to play consistently but was fun to get a grasp of

Now that I know the trick I don't know how engaging it would be, y'know?

Quiet public

Something I really like about the collection itself is the way you get little explanations of mechanics and where the idea came from, plus if you could play it with a real deck or not

Quiet public

@coriander balatro is a cool game

Quiet public

@coriander i wonder how your brain would respond to Bean and Nothingness

Quiet public

@wallhackio what's that

Quiet public

@coriander a savagely difficult puzzle game that's $12 dollars on steam and it ruined my life

Quiet public
Quiet public

@coriander i only completed 2/3 of the game

Quiet public

@coriander it's really good tho

Quiet public

@wallhackio I'm already banging my head against RHEM but I'll have to keep this in mind for the future

Quiet public

@coriander some of the puzzles made me leap out of my chair when I solved them there is some absolute brilliance here

Quiet public

@wallhackio Also I just realized you might not be familiar with RHEM:

Imagine Myst

But it's for sickos

Quiet public

@coriander but myst is already for sickos 😨

Quiet public

@wallhackio exactly

Quiet public

@coriander oh I just looked it up its literally just Myst

Quiet public

@wallhackio but the puzzles are for sickos

Quiet public

@coriander i do have sicko tendencies....

Quiet public

@wallhackio @coriander ftr, the kind of sickos bean and nothingness puzzles are fur are the kind of sicko would would become known in their undergraduate physics purrogram fur really loving knowing how to derive all the physics equations. it’s just purresenting those kinds of purroblems at a sufficent level of abstraction from mathematics and logic that you might not notice that’s what you’re doing

arguably this is true of a large number of puzzle games, really, but
