First off, just want to say I think putting Trine 3 in the newest Humble Bundle was a good move on your parts. I understand that you probably have some regrets about that game but I'm glad I finally am getting a chance to play it. It's gorgeous and a great time with a friend, so hopefully you can see some sort of silver-lining there.

One of the things I loved most about playing Trine 2 was finding new and hilarious ways to break the game. My favorite was the "elevator box", as my friend and I dubbed it. This involved using one of Zoya's time slowing bubbles, and chucking a box into it. From there you could ride it across a lot of the gaps in the game.

Were you at all worried that the switch to 3D in Trine 3 would limit players' abilities to mess with the game like this? I know one of the aspects of Trine 3 that does disappoint me is it seems like most of the puzzles can only be beaten with the "intended" solutions.

I'm not sure if you're still answering questions but I thought I'd throw one out that I've always wondered.

I know you said everyone was playing it straight, but it really seemed like Mike Holmes was purposefully being goofy. Everyone else I could see as genuinely doing the best they could with a strange script, but Mike always seemed to be in on the joke, so to speak. This is especially apparent in the scene where he describes the "me underwears" story, I'm sure everyone knows the one.

Any idea if this is true or not?

I think they're having a really hard time hiring enough people right now. Combine that with pandemic life meaning more people are ordering in.

Or I'm just talking out my ass. But it feels like most pizza places have been struggling to keep up during COVID.

Yup, again anecdotal but pizza delivery has been a total shit show for me recently.

Some places have started outsourcing deliveries to door dash without even informing you when you place the order. Then when the door dash person fucks up there's no accountability.
