Oh duh. I tried the web UI which was fast when I first hit it logged out. After logging in it was very slow for the first two pages. But after that it was very fast on subsequent pages. Going back to sync every page call is still slower than the web UI.
It has a great flow and story but ends up getting unfinished and thin towards the end. Also locking the real and only somewhat better ending behind a bunch of fetch quests and all 60 conchs sucks.
Sea of Stars. I liked it but it felt kind of thin. I wish they had had a bigger budget. It really feels like there should have been a third chapter and it feels like things are left hanging. I didn't get the super true final ending but still felt like there should have been more depth in general. It's a beautiful game with a surprisingly good and strong narrative. The game play was solid but didn't really grow much over the course of the game.
Finishing things is way overrated. I hate the endings of things in general. I've completely stopped watching TV shows to their competition. The end is often unsatisfying. And the last seasons are often a let down. Also most games are just way way way too long. I don't need a 150 hour game. There are just so many great games to play out there to be spending months playing one.
Comparison is the thief of joy. It's good to be just yourself being weird and happy in your own way. If it feels like you are really missing something from your life that's a normal feeling as well. Listen to yourself without the comparison. What are you missing what do you want?
Yup. No effect
