I'm finally getting around to playing this game now, in full, and OH MY GOD it is so beautiful! It is currently my happy place. Everything is perfect and right with the world, when I am here. Also, I am so inspired, as an artist. Thank you, to everyone who worked on it!

I just gave this advice to a friend and I'll share it here too. There are two fundamental types of people in this world: Those who go through life dreading being at the mercy of people like themselves and those who go through life hoping they are. Make your life goal to be one of the latter.

Control Resonant is not afraid to be obtuse. Getting lost is part of the experience, but it doesn't have to be frustrating. Learning about your surroundings is so much more rewarding than just letting the game hold your hand all the way through. Friction is good.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano
