Wow, the signals dry humour is strong tonight :smirk: :grin:
But I do love that background picture! The purple mountains… the colours of the sky fading into each other… ahh :relaxed: stares into the distance

Sorry, but we are only interested in what you did last week and what you are going to do next week.

But sounds interesting. I hope it’s a new adventure game. :wink:

I’m glad, that I have it as a poster… :wink:

To get on-topic (again) to populate @PiecesOfKate’s Excel sheet: What happens if you spend too much time in the TWP forum? You start dreaming about it. Last night I’ve dreamed that I met with Ron in a bar. We tried to find a new story for a new game. Unfortunately I can’t remember the stories we found. I think we did only brainstorming. The only thing I can remember is, that Ron drew a tree on a sheet of paper. And he was very good in drawing pictures (but it was definitely Ron…).

I think I need a separate category on my spreadsheet for ‘Dreams about Ron’.

I wonder if that was a new type of puzzle dependency chart? :hushed: That might explain why he was ‘drawing’, and why that bit was important.

I’ve just realised this is the ‘I can’t sleep’ thread. Kind of related, though also kind of opposite.

Is this worth a scientific research paper? :wink:

AFAIR he asked me about the first thing that comes into my mind and I said: “A tree” and he drew the tree as a picture. He showed the picture to me and it was a “real” tree on a lawn and no dependency chart.

btw: I just noticed that this is the “I can’t sleep thread” and not the “Dream” thread… For my excuse: I haven’t slept the whole night …

So it seems you’re in-topic…

Does that mean this really happened?

Actually, I’m not sure. Is Ron on a tour through Europe…?

131

No, I mean “read”. :neutral_face:

Mainly hacking and scraping personal info like credit card numbers and sell them on the black market. :neutral_face:

I also check the forums daily for possible special news from the developers, but I consider that a secondary activity.

I know it’s most unusual (there’s always place for a nice Rush reference) to say it at 10:20pm but… I can’t sleep. I usually go to bed before 10pm, and I’ve been laying in bed for like 45 minutes trying to calm down and relax.

I feel like writing.

134

Maybe try getting up for a bit. It often makes it worse if you lie there trying too hard. Or, try focusing on your breathing (count your breaths).

Or, name all the American states in your head.

I only have Iowa and it barely fits in there.

Well, I did get up :smiley: I got up, got to the PC and wrote on the forum.

From my experience, if “imagining to go down different slides” doesn’t help, nothing will. So I think I’ll just wait here until I’m tired enough.

I could read you something in a super boring voice.

The worst thing you can do is trying to force sleep or concentrate on the fact that you can’t sleep.
I would recommend:

  • Read a book - but not on a smartphone or your computer (no blue light)
  • Drink a glass of warm milk
  • Play a slow and boring videogame
  • Listen to Milan reading something in a boring voice.
  • Take a relaxing bath with a pizza:

Textbook advice! :+1:

Sounds good but does it turn you into someone looking like an eastern german porn star from the earls 90s?

All that swearing you had to do for the Ransome lines has irritated your soul?

Oh, haha. I assumed that was from mobile.

But now go back to bed :stuck_out_tongue:

I maybe wouldn’t recommend that.

Or that.

Curry, maybe.
