The irony of your name was just too much.  If you don't know ancient Greek, the first passage is a play on the opening of the Iliad: "Rage sing of Josh's Achilles, / accursed, that countless pains brought" (in ancient Greek "Josh" is, fittingly, the same name as "Jesus")... the second is from the part of the Odyssey where Achilles, in the Underworld, famously says he'd rather be alive as the servant "of a poor (lotless) man whose livelihood is not much" than king of all the dead.

 

My own handle has a bit of ironic relevance, with which I'll let go of these tangents: 

 

"toshidoshi ya saru ni kisetaru saru no men
every year yo---monkey(s)-upon wearing monkey 's mask(s)
 
On this New Year's hokku Master Bashō said, 'I scrawled this poem because I felt sorry to see people remain on the same spot and tumble into the same pitfalls year after year.'"

Ok... Go Eagles! I live in Cheesesteak Heaven! Woo!

 

My experience of Philadelphia has been more:

The Eagle in the hyperrealistic dog mask did win me over a little---don't think I've ever seen Josh wearing an actual realistic Frog Helm (that looks a lot like a frog). (Frog with pickled peppers at Chili Szechuan in West Philadelphia is wonderful.) But back on topic....

Nah... Nothing beats Tony Luke’s chicken cutlet broccoli rabe samwich with the garlic and sharp provy!

No matter which fork in the road you take I am certain adventure awaits.

I raise it all with a licked Tic Tac that I found among the dry catfood nuggets.

 

Now that this is settled, off to...

Josh’s comments today on a remastered Pillars 1 make me hopeful that it’s something we’ll actually see at some point.

Seems a bit early to even talk about remastering Pillars 1.

His comments boiled down to "it would take a metric crapton of work and resources", though.

I think it’s come up at least once in every Dev Q&A since the Fig campaign.

Remastering like a PoE Tutu? That'd be cool, although right now I far prefer PoE's mechanics to Deadfire's so I probably wouldn't play it, but who knows what the future might bring.
