Ah, I'm sorry Emma. For whatever it's worth, Hindsight really *is* a beautiful expression of grief. I think about it often.

We've had a clutch of first-person narrative games since Firewatch, but there's still nothing quite like it IMO. Edith Finch was wonderful, of course, but its anthological approach gives it a very different feel.

Ten years ago today we shipped Firewatch. I say this every anniversary but it feels both like a lifetime ago and like it was yesterday. Thank you everyone who played it back then or played it today for the first time. Thank you to everyone on the team, I’m still so proud of what we made.

Ironic, as this was the magazine that referred to PokΓ©mon as a "pestilential Ponzi scheme" in 1999, characterising its creator Satoshi Tajiri as a literal monster "His eyes are bloodshot; dark circles ripple beneath them... His monsters are a child's predelictions." He never gave another interview.

"I didn't care". He would if there were, you know, any kind of consequences for this. But seemingly no one cares about regulating any of this stuff, let alone punishing people for it.

Most of Frida's argument makes sense, but this is baffling to me. Where are these strange paths and parks that you can apparently only discover if you're riding a bike? And anyway, I thought the speed was the point?

Hey, congrats! Takes real courage to step beyond your comfort zone and to achieve something on your first try is definitely worth celebrating

No Duskbloods in today's Nintendo Direct, but at least we still got a sign of life for it today, assuming it will release within a week of this.

Ah, I think this is *firmly* Indie Square Enix. What would you do if they made a Dungeon Encounters 2?
