Putting the Oxenfree down for tonight but it's pretty good so far. I especially love the sound design, even just blaring through my laptop speakers it builds the atmosphere so well.

Ok basically I had to fiddle with the radio a LOT, a triangle of Something formed near the top of the cavern that spoke to us in chopped up words spoken over the radio, the screen got extremely glitchy (I'm certain it was by design lol), and we got fucking teleported somewhere completely different and now we're in a communications tower, where the tower's radio is behaving creepily, which makes sense, but I can't mess with it the way I can my own.

So right now, I'm messing with my own little radio again. Some stations have music, some just have static, some have weird little whirring and beeping noises, and one has a man's voice speaking incomprehensibly, but in a cadence that convinces me it's a news broadcast. I'm not reassured by any of this, but at least I'm not in that fucking cave anymore. I'll probably have to go back at some point, though, since it seems to be the epicenter of all this supernatural bullshit.

Oh! I found a station with actual dialogue! Sounds like some scientists experimenting. I blame them for this, I'm sure they contributed somehow.

Another one! Conversations on walkie-talkies, possible distress calls, at the end it devolves into what could be Morse code, something about a transmitter keeping a portal closed? I'm willing to bet the portal was whatever the hell I opened in that cave.

Game session disconnected :( I hope I didn't lose ALL my progress, but tbh a chance to redo the item I messed up might be nice

If you try to retrace your steps through a cave system, don't find the way you came in, and check the in-game map to find that your little sprite indicating location has completely disappeared, that's probably bad, right

I have a little radio I'm fiddling with, and in the deepest currently accessible part of the cave there is some creepy shit I can hear by dialing it to 97, but it's completely incomprehensible creepy shit. I have made the same journey between two dead ends like four times. I think I must have messed up how I dealt with one of the Plot Significant Items, because I genuinely cannot progress OR leave.

They put video games on Netflix now?

Love how The Adolescence of Utena is Kunihiko Ikuhara looking straight at the camera and going, "Looks like we were too subtle in the original anime about Utena being the vehicle of Anthy's liberation that she used to free herself since people didn't get the first time that it was something they accomplished together, so we're going to turn Utena into a racecar which Anthy drives to freedom so no one can possibly miss the symbolism this time. And then they kiss on the lips while embracing naked because we couldn't get that on TV" and honestly, what a power move.

At least once a week I remind my cat that she doesn't like root beer, and every time she doesn't believe me until she gets bubbles up her nose. This has been going on since 2013.
