NEW ARTICLE - On Life and Death (Stranding)
I played Death Stranding in May/June as part of my ongoing Kojima review series and it overlapped with the some of the final months of my mother's life who I had been caring for for the last 3 years. This article is me unpacking all of that
Enjoy.

Finally been in the headspace to write my Death Stranding analysis (2600+ words in so far but will probably cut some stuff that is overly personal) and trying to find the balance of explaining enough of the weird sci fi story beats without it just being a plot recap has been an interesting challenge

Been getting much more into the NBA over the last couple seasons and I have been having a lot of fun with it but holy choosing a team to support as a mid-20s European getting into the sport is so much harder than it was to pick a football team at the age of like 7
