Sorry your family is so unreasonable. Test yourself and mask up, and take no sass from family being foolish.

And, there's a new harsher flu variant that's dominant and the for vaccine doesn't cover. There's are combo tests for flu and COVID. Really easy.

Isn't this the new CEO yes man installed by Sony?

And yeah the real nuanced take is that AI could be used at a tool for hated tasks. But creative replacement like voice acting was always rooted in exploitation.

Some kind of growth outside of scripted sequence would be an interesting gameplay element that sets it apart further from power wash games. Could also facilitate using more tools in a variety of ways to stop that growth.

Gameplay-wise you can get upgrades and equipment very quickly that kinda invalidate any kind of interesting gameplay beyond the cleaning. And the wide spray cleaner modes really were too weak to be satisfying to use. So hopefully some additions arrive for Part 2.

It's a complex game, so let me know if you have questions!

It's just something they say a lot in Persona (and probably a Japanese/Anime thing?)

Art-wise yeah. If those reverse engineering people tried slapping an NPR renderer on everything I'd be interested in seeing it.

Oh yeah, I could see all the hard work they put into it. We've both been in places where there's decisions being made far above that hurt the game and all we can do is just the best we can until release and hope people appreciate it.

Oh yeah, there's some kind of scorched earth tax write off situation that they're using for situations like this to try and mitigate losses.

This is going to be unhinged.
Entire new narrative game genres will be spawned from this moment.

OMG
