Tip for future air DJing - while one hand is scratching the record the other should be in a pinched position manipulating your imaginary crossfader. The More You Know 💫
Excellent tip. I was certainly overzealous with my twin-turntable technique, and totally neglected the crossfader. I have hung up my imaginary headphones in shame. -Chaz
A couple of dozen hours into Arydia and it is definitely in the top three for me. The larger game designers should take serious note to what Far Off Games have done here. Setting aside the awesome game mechanics, the amount of QOL and support FOG has done puts almost every (if not all) "AAA" designer/publisher to shame. A quick off the top of my head example of the QOL, every skill has a reference card with it that has that skills FAQ on the back. Instead of "wasting" space with art, they made the back functional. (As a note, it is possible they weren't the first to do this, but it is the first that I know of)
I love Faraway. I've taught it to about a half dozen others already and I've only owned it a week! I love the puzzle of scoring in reverse. Love, but am terrible at it. I haven't won a game yet. 😂
It's always great hearing of someone finding a game that they enjoy. And hopefully, you'll score a win at it in the coming weeks. If you do, let me know how you accomplished it. I currently have the same record! -Chaz

Very nice synopsis. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with the game! :D

If you can be Chaz Marler then you should always be Chaz Marler
I'm pretty sure that's what the guy who stole my passport last week is saying, too.
