I can’t explain why, maybe it’s my current lack of sleep, but I can’t imagine a life where someone has the time to dig so deep into something so recreational. I mean no spite and no insult! This is cool! Maybe I’m just jealous - I spent my day choring and looking after kids - and I will collapse in 2 hours when I’m done with my obligations.

If you find yourself with free time - use it! Create works like this article or like Riven itself. Life is SO short. Make something people want. Apparently I wanted to spend 10 minutes comparing renders from 30 years ago instead of picking up toys!

Seeing those game boxes on the store shelves, picking them up and looking at the artwork…

"It’s like THX’s estranged brother"

I have the remastered version as my alarm sound:
