The fact that I cried over a man reading a letter instead of what was basically a high budget cologne ad for a funeral speaks volumes about the Lanterns writing
I feel like death stranding 1 was a litmus test to filter out people that cant just appreciate games as an artform. Its genuinely such a calming and haunting vibe for a game in an industry polluted by protagonist that never shut up because they're scared the players lose interest
Alan Ritchson says the entire industry is terrified of what he’s going to say next. But he refuses to stay quiet while everyone else bows down to power.
“Everybody is scared around me for what I’m going to say. My publicist right now is biting her nails down to the cuticles.”
“People are a little bit afraid of me because they’re like, ‘He’s a loose cannon.’ And I’m not. I’m just saying the shit that everybody should say if they give a shit about humanity.”
“Stop cowtowing to the wrong people. Stop bowing down to people that have power. You got power too, man. Power in numbers.”
“Why am I the exception to the rule? Bitch, everybody else speak up. You are all feeling the same thing. Get loud.”
“Everybody else should have it. Everybody else should feel like I feel! The world is on fire! Be mad about the way things are and the abuses that are happening.”
