I get that.
Little while ago reflected on the time before they existed. Fishing also required a similar process. Regard the water, consider what lay below - unseen; visualise, construct the approach, cast & adapt. Succeed or fail the ‘game’ drew me back for more.
F5 would be mighty useful too ;)

I’m not sure I agree with either the one shared or these, as a player. Each play through is its own story.

Abstract sculpture at entrance of the library is titled ‘Konstrukta’ - Vadim Kosmatschof (1975)

Powerful enough in itself to stand tall in the Brutalist setting. Photographic archive is great.

I mean, Zuck could just blend right in to a ‘69 episode of ‘Jo 90’, though Jo actually pulls off the look… also, asinine tech.

One that sticks in my memory was ‘Stig of the Dump’ by Clive King (1963).
Boy finding a stone age man living in a chalk quarry tip and befriending him, so appealing 😁

Great screen presence. Good VA too.
His poignant handling of the roll as Chief Rains Fall in RDR2 was heartfelt.
The later chance encounter with John Marston in Annesburg is another example of how the game (superbly) uses a brief moment to reflect on monumental shifts in lives and history.

3/3 Would sub work for TLD? not sure. But some way for player base to support you & game/s definitely.
As you covered in the recent Game Camp vid (great BTW) money was left on the table. Base game + chunks of content, a price that reflects quality of product is fine. Options for fans are great.

Also perhaps a demographic thing.
For younger players with less cash F2P is compelling. Looking at recent trends they are moving quickly to mobile. For similar reasons. Cost of entry to a console/ PC is prohibitive.
Older gen. more likely to afford subs as a choice & reflect loyalty to a game/dev.

Subs to gain some benefits & support Dev seems a reasonable balance. ex. LOTRO, Over the years I have most content but if active consider subbing for this reason. Stop when inactive.
ex. WoW where paid content (base game) is effectively gated unless you do sub. is a deterrent to engage. Not great.

I can sense that in your work.
I have to thank you for introducing me to her work in the game & hearing ‘Parliament of Owls’ on the BlackFrost trailer was literally shivers.
The collab of hers with poet Inger Christensen on ‘Poem about Death’ really took me to TLD and echoes that melancholy.

Think you are absolutely achieving that with TLD!, via Wintermute, the Tales & woven into Survival. Literally experiencing the whole gamut via story, characters, stunning landscapes & crafted world around us. Even the ‘foreign language’ snow, ice, trees, howls etc.

It’s interesting the Brits really fell for them despite quite the cultural differences.
And the ideas cross fertilised into homegrown shows like Broadchurch, The Fall and Happy Valley.
Canada has so much of the core elements, I do hope someone takes a real stab at it.
