And don't fully pay attention to early reviews of the game, as the two major updates to the game have fixed a lot of the early problems folks had (although the game could still probably use some balancing).

No better feeling than knowing someone so deeply that you get them a gift you know they'll love and watching their face light up or having them spam you with messages in all caps and/or with lots of exclamation points.

Adding on to what others have said, The Last of Us and God of War (Nordic duology) have basically the same themes, story, and even pacing. The only difference really is setting and combat (even then the combat, I think is designed to have the same/similar "feel").

Whole OST is 🐐ed, as the other fellow said. Probably my single favorite platformer of all time, 2D or 3D, in part because of the soundtrack.

This, combined with the curry-croissant in Pokemon Legends Z-A, is the antithesis of what Monster Hunter Wilds and Final Fantasy XV did for food in video games.

The big example people talk about is on page 139-140 where a whole line is omitted. It reads: "...Your task, in the dreams, is often to pens." It should be longer.
Although upon reading Reddit, this may have been fixed in later printings of the edition. I'm curious if it's fixed in yours.

I think nuance is very entertaining, but the issue is that it takes a certain ability/literacy that most folks didn't have the opportunity to gain (state of the educational system) or are scared of demonstrating (making nuanced arguments opens those arguments up to critique).

I legitimately think, and I think this about a lot of general unwillingness to try new things in an ENTERTAINMENT medium, is just a fear of breaking out of comfort zones.

As someone who is studying writing, it's remarkable how getting the words out in a way that one can see them encapsulates so much feeling and does so much for the psyche.

I think what you're remembering is when they released that Nintendo Store app and it could show you more specific playtimes for games than the Switch consoles.
