Today’s game is Ghost of Tsushima. I’m trying to get all the collectibles before moving onto the DLC. So basically not much interesting has happened. I do have some things though. Namely, while looking at one of the skins for the ghost armor set, I noticed the design seemed to remind me of Shimura’s attire. This could be entirely something I’m just seeing in this. So it might just be me. To me the red imagery throughout the game almost seems to represent the “family” bonds the two share.

Thats why you get this armor set for sparing him.

Meanwhile its white counter part seems for me to instead draw my mind to images of his honor.

To extend this to Jin too, ironically by shedding his family’s blood, he remains pure and honorable.

I’m not really sure where I’m going with this as it’s late and I have a fever, and I’m sure the outfits looking similar is just me seeing things and making meaning out of it. Then again. Isn’t that what art is?

I don’t really have much else to talk about today. I think it’s the first time in a long while I didn’t have at least 3 things to talk about.

The collection of collectibles in this game is tedious (oh. Hey. I found something to talk about). There’s just so many. It’s not as bad as say Assassin’s Creed but it’s still not great. I do like the Haikus though. And I appreciate they tried to make a lot of them fun to do. I also like in the post game that they highlight where all the camps are. It makes it easier to do.

Anyways. That’s all I really had to say today. A half baked feverish metaphor and a complaint about collectibles. I’ll try and finish it tomorrow, but also I would like to try some more Twilight Princess so we’ll see about that.
