That is exceedingly good. Hope they’re all doing well and being given a hero’s welcome next day at the office.

They were pretty deliberate about having very similar creative aims, standing on the shoulders; they even got Yasunori Mitsuda to help with their soundtrack. The game keeps on surprising me with its self awareness, beauty, and a depth of gameplay that keeps unfolding long after you think you have the measure of it.

I would usually have said Earthbound or Chrono Trigger, but this year I’ve been playing Sea of Stars and it truly seems better. I never thought I’d say it. The writing, art, music, gameplay, movement, puzzles, characters, all are aimed in the exact same direction as what CT was trying to do and it goes farther in every way.

Maybe we should just stay bad at writing siblings. Let them keep this one, as a treat.

The trouble is that billionaires who remain sympathetic to Carnegie’s “gospel of wealth” are vanishing, while narcissists who see themselves as American oligarchs are proliferating. It isn’t hard to see how dynasties could be more politically powerful on a long timescale.

Many would call this a natural progression, and for my part I don’t envy whoever ends up on the other side of that debate - money being the root of all evil.
