Offi­cial­ly, the Berlin Wall fell on Novem­ber 9, 1989. Demo­li­tion would take more than four years, and a few sec­tions remain for memo­r­i­al pur­pos­es, but it was on that date that pas­sage between East and West Berlin — and thus East and West Ger­many — opened to all cit­i­zens of both coun­tries. To say that it came as a sur­prise would be a seri­ous under­state­ment. Ear­li­er that year, even the best informed observers were pre­dict­ing that the wall would stand for at least a few more decades.

Its second game, “Mina the Hollower,” is finally here after years of “Shovel Knight” expansions and spin-offs. What I really admire about “Mina the Hollower” is that it’s an incredibly different game than “Shovel Knight”.

He has now campaigned alongside Democratic Senate candidates, been a guest on some of the largest podcasts in America, and appeared on CNN and NBC News. Most recently, the New York Times published a conversation between Piker, the paper’s culture editor Nadja Spiegelman, and the New Yorker writer Jia Tolentino. The topic: is theft ever justified?
