since my computer won't let me play the Sims 3, I'm playing MYST

bird mother
my other comfort game

bird mother
though it's now giving me the impulse to get Exile on steam, since I never finished that one

bird mother
oh man, Steam has a pack of all 6 games

MYST is such a pretty game.

bird mother
it's sooo pretty

bird mother
I played it when it first came out in the 90s and it still holds up

Lindsard
I don't remember precisely when I first played it, but I don't think it had been out all that long.

Lindsard
Well before the advent of Steam or any online game sites like that.

I was still young enough to find it creepy.

bird mother
It's still got a slight creepy vibe, lbr

bird mother
the story for Stoneship Age was always my favorite

bird mother
I wanted more of Emmit, Branch, and Will's life on the rocks

bird mother
I once came up with a story inspired by them, though I never wrote it out

bird mother
I mean, eventually

bird mother
I was 17ish at the time

bird mother
me: I love solving puzzles in games like Myst!
