Sorry you have to deal with that, man. Probably won't help that much but just know that the vast majority of people who read your reviews appreciate you, your opinions, and all the hard work you put into your job (including the Cardigans podcast, of course😁)

Atsu in bright yellow armour and a straw hat slicing through an enemy. Blood follows her Katana and covers her clothes.

Atsu covered in blood and mud facing right of frame. She holds her katana down into the long grass and foliage, throwing off the blood.

Atsu wears yellow top and blue skirt, walking away from camera through white flowers. Her katana and bows are seen on her hip and back, respectively. Songbirds are seen among the blue sky in the background.

Just to talk art since we're hear anyways, I'm just thinking how much trouble get in due to the full on acceptance of 'games, as narrative, as art'. Which is a totally valid expression of the medium but so many games are oddly more like paintings

""Proving"" if something like RDR2 is meaningful art is way less interesting or important than proving something like Pacman is meaningful art.

(It is)
