The letter about hating the sea was written just after or at the end of his five year voyage on the Beagle. So, understandable.

Rob Bottin, who was responsible for the effects, was only 21 when he did them! He also worked himself into hospital care with exhaustion, double pneumonia and a bleeding ulcer and was the one who came up with the idea of the Thing not having a definitive form.

There is even a chapter of one of the two expansions where Jessie returns, in a prequel of sorts to Control.

Alan Wake 2 is the direct sequel to both Alan Wake and Control so you should definitely get it if you liked Control. There is also a Control-centric expansion for AW2 just as there was an Alan Wake expansion for Control.

I recently played through both Alan Wakes and Control with all the expansions and it's an AWEsome experience on par with playing through the Mass Efect trilogy IMO.

May you live in times that are times.

I have been to Japan last year and one of the first things I noticed is that even in Tokio, one of the most densely populated places on the planet, there aren't that many cars on the streets considering the amount of people. Most people walk and use public transport (which is absolutely amazing, relatively cheap but punctual like a clockwork).

I wouldn't be surprised if that is a huge factor together with the healthy, fish-and-rice heavy food. I haven't seen a single overweight Japanese person on my visit.

It's called confirmation bias and is sadly super-charged by social media engagement algorithms.

I mean they were mask-off when they tried to lynch politicians and storm the seat of government.

I think they will soley concentrate on the Helldivers quote and claim it's all the fault of those woke DEI killer games.

Also, thanks to the practice of broadcast syndication, new series were often given at last 3-4 seasons to run even if the ratings weren't great at first since it was more profitable to get the series to around 80 to 100 episodes then to cancel it early.

Not it's still mostly the US. Although my country (Germany) seems hellbent on following soon, so maybe the US is just ahead of the stupidity curve.

Jews, gypsys, homosexuals, disabled people and the opposition. Hitler actually went for the left and unions first.
