Finished Bugsnax. That was as surreal and charming as was indicated.

2021-12-17 10:13:52 +0000 UTCThat is so sweet! And, good news! Chip's Challenge 1-I hadn't realized there were sequels!-is free to play on Steam.

2021-12-17 00:42:32 +0000 UTCNo lie, I genuinely almost started crying when Helen mentioned Chip's Challenge. We didn't have it on our computer at home, but it was on the school computer when I was in elementary school and I remember the owner's husband sitting with my little brother and patiently helping him work out the puzzles instead of just dashing about doing trial-and-error. He (the owner's husband, not my brother) died almost twenty years ago and we still miss him so much. I had no idea that game was still out there! Going to be buying that asap. (Along with whatever of the other games mentioned I can find!)

2021-12-16 20:22:31 +0000 UTCI played the heck out Chip's Challenge when I was a kid. What's funny is that I remember playing it in the breakfast nook and the PC was nowhere near there so I don't know how. It's exactly the kind of logic puzzle game I love. Helen, I'm so glad for the reminder that this game exists! I'll be picking it up again on Steam. (And I've added Bugsnax to a wishlist. ❤️ )
