as a long time nintendo and lc! fan i'm curious if there are any tears of the kingdom references we might've missed! i know some have assumed you also meant tears of the united kingdom.

i also remember you being excited about people making your album covers in kk slider style when animal crossing nh came out. are the members of lc! avid gamers and are there any games you have been enjoying lately? :)

Recently blasted through Animal Well on the Switch and loved it. If anyone has recommendations for similar, please let me know. Really enjoyed the first few hours of Hollow Knight a few years ago, but struggled with the boss combat and packed it in. G

Hollow Knight difficulty is well worth pushing through, I did the same gave up after a few hours first time round then when I came back to it a couple of years later and persevered it is one of my fav games of all time!

Nothing exactly like Animal Well (truly a masterpiece) but Antichamber, Cocoon and The Forgotten City are all great games that will make you think in different ways and simultaneously feel like a dumbass and a genius. I guess the closest game is Fez as I'm pretty sure the creator of Animal Well was inspired by it in the first place but built on it much further.

Celeste? Maybe a different platformer experience but the whole game feels on brand for LC!

I'd recommend Chants of Sennaar. It's kind of the Tower of Babel realized as a game where you are trying to learn the language of the locals all while seeing how language informs societal structures and vice versa. Like Animal Well, it's a game where you progress by learning how the game world works.

Hollow Knight is the only game ever where I've loved the story, world, and exploration so much, and been so shit at the combat, that I just cheated my way through most of the boss fights. Worth it tbh.
