So apparently Berek isn’t shaving lately (sigh) - but from my experience this is a common thing in the game developer community during crunch - which sort of symbolizes there is no time for anything else but release - and from today’s livestream it seems he wants the community to pick a color for said scruff ..
I chose pink because there was no purple. As I type this, I see "gold" is winning. Hopefully that is a metallic gold!
