Blue Prince, Inside, and the Joy of Not Knowing

Talking out loud about the stuff that won’t leave us alone. This week starts with a surprisingly passionate debate about cruise ships, service culture, and why one of us never wants to set foot on another floating resort again. From there we get into the Tony Awards, award shows in general, and the complicated relationship artists have with recognition, validation, and success. Then we dive into this week’s Intos. Curt brings Inside, Playdead’s acclaimed puzzle-platformer, while James brings Blue Prince, the puzzle mystery game that’s been capturing players’ imaginations. What begins as a discussion about two games slowly turns into a conversation about curiosity, discovery, failure, uncertainty, and why some experiences are meaningful precisely because they refuse to hand us easy answers. This weeks topics: • Cruise ships and travel • The Tony Awards • Awards and artistic validation • Blue Prince • Inside • Puzzle games and storytelling • Curiosity vs mastery • Failure as part of the process • Creative growth and discovery • The joy of not knowing So… what are you into right now?
