Itoi’s Hobonichi quotes really have an energy all their own
“It occurred to me that I would like to be a gorilla. Not a gorilla in a zoo, but a wild gorilla. I would like to be a gorilla and play with other gorillas, sleep as a gorilla, dream gorilla dreams. I would like to do some thinking in a gorilla way, too.”

It's my classic catchphrase, "I don't mind taking it easy until then"

I assume this video is about the music but I like to think he's just pumped to finally learn about conjunctions

I think this bit from the recent Bloomberg piece is the first acknowledgement I've seen from Falcom that they might decide to just keep making more Trails stuff after it ends. (Which, of course they will, but still)
In recent years, Kondo and his team have given a lot of thought to concluding the Trails series. He said he doesn't yet know exactly when it will come to an end but that they will probably cover one more area of the game's world before finishing. "We want to have a strong finish in the end, and after that we'll think of what we want to do for the series, whether to just end it there or continue on," he said. "But first we're going to focus our full attention on getting a great ending."

There are many benefits to making incredibly successful games, it’s claimed
"The ultimate goal in the Super Game strategy is to create a game so revolutionary that it attracts far more active users than any of the Group's games to date. One key to achieving this goal is whether we can draw together a large community, involving not only players but also streamers who stream the game and viewers who watch their videos," said Satomi. "That kind of community expands and further develops game content, adding value to the game that is unimagined by developers, and sparking a broader movement—which can then draw in even more users and grow the game's presence dramatically."

Whatever I could do that
Mantling, also known as mantle-taking or apotheosis, is the process of attaining godhood through the use of one or more of the esoteric methods known as the Six Walking Ways. Summarized with the phrase "walk like them until they must walk like you", the concept of mantling entails Mythopoeia, reenacting the Mythic patterns established by the Et'Ada until their power is surrendered to the mantler. In the process, the mortal and the deity become metaphysically synonymous with one another, allowing the mortal to claim the office and sphere of the mantled deity for themselves, reshaping them in the process.

I wonder who that company is that bought Game Infor—ah, I see
I heard Off The Grid is an NFT game. Is that true? Off The Grid is not an NFT game. It's a battle royale game with an optional NFT element. If you want to try out NFTs, you can; if you don't want to, you don't have to. It's entirely up to the player how they want to play the game, and the game is playable without dipping into NFTs.

They did say THPS 3+4 would have some new songs 🤔
Steam widget claiming Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is relevant to me because I played Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 and Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+
