Both great games! I spent ~150 hours of Against the Storm and was playing around prestige 5-6 when I started to feel like I really understood how to play well. I’m really impressed with how well put together the game’s systems are. I hope they do GDC presentations so other developers can learn from them.

I am loving the new Prince of Persia game. About half way through and every minute has been great. Honestly enjoying it more than Metroid Dread or Hollow Knight. Movement and combat are both so crisp. Strong recommend for any fans of metroidvania type games.

Motivated reasoning effects everyone. Even scientists can see what they want to see over what is. One of many reasons peer review is an important part of the process.

The Stormlight Archives is an epic fantasy series where all of the major protagonists struggle with mental health in realistic ways. Kaladin will do great, heroic things, and still grapple with depression because it’s part of who he is, not something he just “gets over” because he had one good day.
