  Are you into dramatic NPCs? If no, you have to play it multiplayer with someone who gives a crap about pixel people.

  I tried playing it alone but every system in the game is puddle deep so I was only able to play until winter by myself.

  Then I played it with my girlfriend, and I spent 100 fondly remembered hours.

  going to a website (not tech savvy enough for this) vs going to the settings on an app and select a new icon (yay anyone can do it)

  24/7 connectivity was a mistake. I miss that brief window when we had cheap supercomputers in our pockets, but data was still expensive.

  Your princess sets the scene, then you watch helplessly as your knight fails or succeeds with the given help. So… a stop motion puzzle game

  1/e is about 37%, maybe 1-1/e?

  Monopolies are bad mmkay

  Saying no is communication, and even that is too much sometimes man

  The “story” of Hades is that the guy you control gets better over time and finally escapes. How else can you convey it? With text (cardinal sin)?
