Yes, the Whitehouse has a calligrapher. For lots of things that require formal presentations, but also for things like name cards at state dinners (the same as one might do at a fancy wedding reception).

This is a ridiculously bad summary. Bad bot!

Monument Valley. Visually beautiful enough to warrant repeated play-through just to admire the design, and conceptually brilliant as well.

And another vote for Gris, too.

Agreed on the basic appeal of core values, BUT there is another vector that the article sidesteps: unabashed tokenism. The extreme right knows it has a pretty nasty optics problem. Most of them try to avoid directly referencing white supremacists (even when their staff members give the game away). They all know that they walk in the shadow of a KKK costume. So, what's a nice white politician to do? Get some Black people on stage who will blow right past the obvious racist motivations that has landed them in the limelight. Give them some cheap attention and some easy money. It's a win-win for everyone on stage, that is until the token has worn out their usefulness.

Subnautica (obviously?) - Female protagonist trying to survive long enough to figure out what happened to her sister on a frozen planet.

Gris - A very lovely and emotional story about grief.
