Today’s game is Control. I went Anchor hunting today and did that whole questline. I can’t believe i had never done it up until that point. I would have expected me to easily have a run in with that location considering how accessible it is.
Nonetheless, I escorted the guy out. Then went back, found out i needed the levitate ability, progressed the story far enough to get it, then went all the way back to get it.
With this playthrough i’m not rushing through as much either. As such i’ve found so many references to Alan Wake that i just missed on my first playthrough. Such as this page with a narration by the man himself. There’s also a Coffee Thermos and a few pages describing people going through events similar to Alan’s Dreams.
I also found out i can pick up the projectors. There’s nothing interesting about this, i just thought it was cool. I feel like a lot of games would just tie the projectors down rather than rendering a whole extra thing for rotating them and such. It was pretty cool.
I made my way through the whole Ordinary AWE site and i’m about to head over to the Research wing to mess with the projectors. This was about the point i remember last time getting too before the last “push” and finishing the main game. So i may very well finish it tomorrow and move back to the DLC.
Maybe, then maybe not.
My 74 year old friend used it to generate an appeal to his insurance company after being denied. He won.
And young people are using it to do their homework for them. Leaving them with a degree but no functional knowledge.
So is that valuable?
It’s valuable in the moment you use it. but ultimately you loose the ability to generate value on your own.
