This game came out of nowhere, the VGX show was basically being hyped of AAA titles, but no one was expecting an indie title to get as much hype as it's getting right now. I think the next gen consoles are making it much easier for devs to develop on, though frustratingly its still far more difficult to publish on console then mobile, mainly because you need to first be approved into the developer program before they even consider letting you publish games. Regardless, it seems to be moving in the right direction, although somewhat slow.

I think the referring to "a Japanese" vs "a Japanese man/woman" sounds a little racist, it shouldn't, it makes syntactical sense, but I guess its the cultural influence on the language, I don't know why I brought it up, I was just really taken back when you said "I'm married to a Japanese"

I highly recommend reading Power of Now (terrible title) but one of the best books I've found on the topic, more about awareness then practical guide into meditation.

I think this seems to be my biggest problem, the older I get the more cynical I'm becoming, and I hate it. Any tips on looking at ideas through the lens of curiosity rather then cynicism?
