Agreed - Brandon may not be the best at certain facets of writing, but he's nothing short of virtuosic when it comes to worldbuilding. The cosmere is a masterwork in this regard.

I use chopsticks with popcorn

I realize this has terrible ramifications and indicates the depth of our irresponsibility etc etc, but this is one of the few silver linings to our current dilemma and I will fully allow myself to enjoy it

Hotline Miami is an all timer for sure

Ones I haven't seen in this thread yet:

Cuphead, Cave Story, Celeste, Dredge, Furi, Katamari Damacy (and others in the series), Peggle, Super Mario Galaxy

Lol I hope so

This is true, but it's not the only factor. Staying private allows a company to not be predatory, but it definitely does not guarantee it - it simply allows the executives to choose. It's the combination of Valve being private and Gaben always staying true to his values despite his incredible wealth that gave us Steam in its current form.

I've known plenty of private companies that were as shitty as a public one, or more. Quality executives are vanishingly rare, particularly at this level of company value.

The Sagrada Familia, yeah. It's... pretty big, they're hoping to finish it in the 2030s. (Construction started in the 1800s though, maybe there's an even older one idk about?)

That is beautiful.

I mean, from an external perspective, that is actually pretty funny in a morbid, depressing sort of way. I can't see how it's funny from their view though, seems a bit too on the nose. Maybe they're celebrating the extent to which they just don't give a fuck?

Syphilis

In general maybe not, in these lemmy spaces absolutely.
