If you have ice cream, I will give it to you.

If you have no ice cream, I will take it away from you.

This is an Ice Cream Koan.

The game’s narrative was identified as an area that was particularly in need of improvement and will be revamped in the coming months

I really don't trust executives to be the arbiters of what is considered good narrative. I hope they didn't just kneecap the writing because it wouldn't appeal to as many people as possible.

This asshole has learned to claw at my back through the chair when he wants attention and it startles me every time.

Yer fond of me lobster aint’ ye? I seen it -- yer fond of me lobster! Say it! Say it. Say it!

Gendered bathrooms have always been stupid. Everybody poops, everybody pees, it's good enough to just have a room where everyone can do that.

That's already a thing

I believe they make you move your face specifically to avoid that from happening. Which is why the Death Stranding trick works
