I've been playing Wanderstop lately and it's the kind of game that always brings me back to smaller titles. It takes the whole ocd part of farming sims and completely flips it on it's head. Your rewards in game are getting to experience the interesting characters, not upgrading tools/things.

I think the first priority always has to be making something that's genuinely worth peoples' time and money. Not just something that's capable of taking peoples' time and money.

Again nothing against dopamine loops in games or viral success or w/e, it's just... idk.

A good, unique art style always wins for me. I think I'm regressing to less pixels as I get older.

The Line Begins to Blur, Beside You In Time, and Right Where it Belongs is still one of my favorite acts in a NIN record. I still get emotional when Right Where it Belongs plays.

Your telling me lol. I was talking to someone today about how quickly things went from bad to worse. I had to do a double take when I realized it has only been a little over a month.

As a US citizen, I'm seriously considering moving depending on the state of the country in the next year or two.

It can't be. I still needed some sliver of a hope another Blood game would eventually be made. So, many talented people at that studio just lost their job, insane.
