Ah shit it didn't even occur to me to even try wasd :D I'll give it another try now that I know. I just thought "well this seems super inconvenient"

I thought it was a very interesting idea, I love games that experiment with new things and game mechanics, but it quickly went from being a fun idea to mostly frustrating, especially since you can't change the controls. Using the mouse and stretching the other hands fingers to control arrow keys and then jump with space is not really that different from playing a piano/keyboard piece that your hands are nearly or just a little too small for. I tested this on a trackpad, but I don't see an actual mouse making that big of a difference, while the possibility to change the controls actually might make a big difference.

Ooh I totally forgot this one! Osmos is seriously an amazing game, one of my favorite games of all time.

kids told us that it was important for Furby to...

...meditate...

Ok I'm aware that traditions are different in different parts of the world and such, but now I'm picturing that times have changed so much kids are meditating and it's an important thing to them. I mean I started kind of out of the blue as a kid without outside influence as a pasty white European dude, but I got made fun of for it when people found out.

~~Kind of~~ really cool if kids are meditating these days.

Yeah the reason I joined this instance was because I thought there supposed to be less hot air bullshit like this. I think people got this hateful take already when it was shoved down everyone's throats everywhere for a couple of years now when it's not even relevant to the discussion. That horse has been flogged all the back to Hades and back a hundred-fold already.
