This is starting to feel like something to put in the forum. So: "Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The Official Off-Topic Thread"

From what I've heard from a CC at YouTube, not very good. It's basically forcing you to restart again, except you get a few advantages from your earlier progression. A change for the sake of it, not because it was necessary.

You tell me if that's the case, though. I recall "1MT'ing" with Civ1 on a SNES emulator during college almost through 4 AM, so I know the allure.

I 1MT-ed yesterday for, like, 7 hours into the dead of night. I was so mad at myself.

In my defense, I was trying to get through the "Age of Antiquity" to the "Age of Exploration" because I wanted to see what this new "Age of" mechanic is like.

Yeah... Don't wanna be the bringer of bad news, but you'll most likely take a hiatus sooner more than later. I know about the power of "1MT", and it is utterly captivating. (At least I'll probably have to wait until it releases on Switch or Switch 2, so I'm kinda safe.)

I'm double-tackling both Wizardry 1 remake (on the Switch, of course) and a modded Final Fantasy VI (on an emulator on my phone; coincidentally, it's the farthest I've gotten in FFVI, since I could finish the game at any time, but I'm distracted grinding everyone's levels to tackle one of the new bosses the mod added while figuring out everyone). Curiously enough, both are basically pick-and-go, which isn't eating too much of my free time.

Yo Seuzz, you forgot to update the link for the public version of today’s chapter. Still links to yesterday’s.

No need to rush posting what you've got. It's enough of a present that you're back. Happy Holidays.

Up Next

Today's chapter—

* Interactive: "For the Love of Sarah Johansson"

* Public: "For the Love of Sarah Johansson"

—brings that short branch to a decision and a resting point. There's a commentary thread here in the forums: "Commentary: The Mother of All Revenge Plays"

Next up is a return to a place where Will and Caleb are still friends. Collaborators even. And Gordon Black is there too.

It picks up with "The Temptation To Be What Another Wants"

. This is the branch where Will and Caleb, while playing with masks, accidentally revealed themselves to Gordon, who insisted on joining them. He and Will even swapped lives briefly; as a result, Gordon got thrown out of his dad's house and has moved in with Caleb and his mom. The latest drama: Gordon and Chelsea have broken up, and David Kirkham got turned into a golem. (So Caleb is pretending to be Kirkham these days.)

The branch ended with a couple of different chapters, each pointing in different directions, but I'm picking up the one where Gordon tells Will that he wants to go out with Jenny Ashton; and he tells Will that if he gets Jenny to go out with him, he'll set Will up inside a new mask of someone who can be Chelsea's new boyfriend.

What comes next starts tomorrow.
