And here's some final Proof of Pudding -
Just finished my 2nd play through. Back to back with the 1st = Yay for awesome game! But -
Didn't bother with the final boss fight or ending scenes. Had my fun, I'm done.

On the inevitable comparisons -
Yotei is more expansive, has more cool gameplay wrinkles, obviously (fresher tech, more pixels) achieves more in the sheer natural beauty department.
But dose boss fights, man!
Plus some awkward narrative flinching - yeah, it's Tsushima by a head.

Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

Time once again to big up this unjustly under-regarded and little known Down Under noir gem from the 90s.
The combination of hapless aspiring criminal innocent Heath Ledger and his damned undead brother is just 🤌

It also me.
Love sci-fi films, but always struggle with novels. My brain can't get to grips with: "Jake awoke in Neu-Croydon and trip-shifted his Snow6. He'd been zamping the Decortex Line long before the Tokyo Dataspleen Protocols, unnerving the Neuro-Eidolon Body who had once declared him an ultra Cyberpug."

Strikes me that the finest cultural advice you could give to any voting population right now would be "Treat your politicians like plumbers."

Press: "What kind of concessions are the Russians going to have to make?"
Trump "Their big concession is they stop fighting and they don't take any more land."
Yeah. That's basically how surrendering works.
