Quotes (from this video)
- genuinely my my favorite board game
- I think it's actively beautiful.
- It's like the the the scale of then the cavern coming down and the foreboding danger that lies below, which is juxtaposition to the fun and happy uh you know, Cuphead style art.
- Find out what they're best at and do that as as hard as you can.
- You tend to get art that's 10 ti- like not even exaggerating 10 times better.
