> Just like clouds, there are billions of songs, movies and stories that we don’t talk about. For a good reason, most of them aren’t worth caring about.

This was to me the most important sentence; an idea clicked with me when I read this. The cloud analogy is fun!

I've been re-watching the "10 Years With Hayao Miyazaki" documentary a lot recently. Miyazaki seems to be the person that would scrap years of work because he values making something worth caring about more than his emotions and sunk-cost. "Be true to your craft, without pretensions." (https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/video/3004569/)

I think this is when I have a good sense of the "me in 10 years" that is way more skilled and has more impressive projects than me now. Feeling this makes me love working to my future. I usually have a nightly ritual that reminds me of this; about planning how the next day can move me forward.

On Surmount FPS: I agree with one of the commenters; make first-person surmount a cheat code - it's hilarious!! Players like me would love to play with that. Imagine the YouTube challenges as well! May get new people into the game even! As a player, I think this could be really important.

Good luck on the Surmount announcement!
