This is so different from my experience playing the game.

Not with my non-existent child.

With my ghost child.

No, I played it with my partner, who is not really a gamer.

I think the most interesting part of the game is what happens off the screen, which is the relationship between you and the other person you're playing, which I imagine with the child is very different, where I'm like, why won't you jump?

You need to jump now.

And then I was like, this is...

I should not be playing this with my partner.

So, you know, you learn something here.

Yeah, so it's by this guy named Hideo Kojima, who is, like, the alter of the video game world.

He made Metal Gear Solid, which is largely a story about, like, nuclear arms and, like...

nationalism and soldiers.

Death Stranding is not that.

It's like post-apocalyptic.

It's kind of about social media and reconnecting the world after this big apocalypse.

The first game came out right before the pandemic.

And the whole idea is you play this guy who is a porter and

He is basically a mailman and you walk around the world delivering cargo.

You're basically Amazon.

But it's about bridging the world together.
