Take the warnings seriously, if you are at all susceptible to the lure of Sorting Things.

It's not even a "logic puzzle" per se, just an invitation to sort a very large number of things into different groups.

A friend sent it to me in December and I lost a solid day to it. Had a great time, but wow it really was like having my brain hijacked.

You know that odd bit of vampire mythology in some countries/traditions where you can delay a vampire chasing you by throwing down sand or seeds or other tiny objects because they will be compelled to stop and count every grain?

Some of us are like that with Sorting Things. You know who you are. Protect yourself.

(On the other hand, if right now you need to be not thinking about some things, and you don't have urgent tasks that can't wait a day or two, and having your brain consumed sounds good: CAN REC.)

can, to some small degree, be simulated by a blindfolded person trying to push buttons while someone else shouts confused and panicked instructions at them:



(Except that these guys mastered jumping WAY faster than I did.)

It's hilarious and delightful to me to watch people having an experience of Dark Souls which is not wholly unlike mine. In a weird way I feel kind of #represented.
