Just for the record this is not about us.
Gamer friends hadn't heard Fast Car and knew absolutely nothing about Drake/Kendrick.
I don't want to overreact. But sometimes I get the sense that while we all live on the same blue planet, there are billions of different worlds that we inhabit, each mutually-impenetrable to all the others.

Finished The Rise of the Golden Idol. It's such an impeccable investigation game. It features the same funny and grotesque art as the predecessor, fresh visual/narrative puzzles, and some new gameplay ideas.
Better played as couch co-op.
