There are games I use to test my level of brain development, brain shrinkage, and just sometimes to remind myself that I am a complete and total idiot in all but 1 or 2 select areas. Among these games - including Luke Lisi's BRILLIANT The Guides which I have never managed to finish - I often go back to Zachtronic's Opus Magnum and just CRY. There are things I will NEVER be good at, things that show my weaknesses so glaringly that I'm deeply crushed. I need the reminder.

There are many things that I simply am not good at. There are things that my brain fails to comprehend. There are areas where I have extreme limitations and I know it's important to remind myself of this.
Oxygen Not Included is one of those games that reminds me I have absolute zero skills.
@thewebrecluse Oh wow, this looks like my kind of game, though I will also probably get extremely frustrated, lol
@meganpaasch Opus? I just cry through it and rage quit and then cry some more.
The Guides ... well ... my IQ isn't enough. Luke has a very high IQ and it shows. The game isn't for everyone and that is obvious too. He was kind enough to comfort me back in the day on the bird when I was lamenting about how dumb I was ❤️ Great guy. Incredible game.
@thewebrecluse Gah, I'm stuck on level 21 with the cubes. What the heck does "+3" mean? (Don't tell me. I'm determined to figure this out.) 😅 😭
@thewebrecluse Oh, and not Opus, sorry. The Guides. Somehow I missed that this was a thread and didn't see Opus. I... will probably have to check that one out, too, lol.
The Guides Compendium can be helpful as you continue on ...
@thewebrecluse Thank you!
