Questions from Discord: 

• campfire_knight: Thoughts on Doug Bowser retiring? What is y'all's fav memories of him?

• Joe: With Ghost of Yotei now done, what do you think Sucker Punch is going to work on? Do you want more Ghost games or a new IP? Or even a return to an old IP? 

• campfire_knight: What is the most obscure Nintendo product you have ever tried out? I think mine may be Face Raiders on the 3DS! Nintendo really pushed those AR and gyro controls on the 3DS with this one, didn't they?🦉
