TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Founded in 1990, Prima Games has been the #1 publisher of video game strategy guides in the US. For quite a while, they on top of the world (of Warcraft). They’d put out a big ol’ paperback guide for just about every major video game, filled with tips, tricks, secrets, and walkthroughs. Often times, they were even partnered with the game developers.

Unfortunately, the internet grew into what it is today and the once exclusive strategies of Prima became much easier for other people to disseminate. Prima was about to be closed down in 2019 but an investor swooped in and turned them into a singularly online operation.
