This is the most pi.fyi-core game. You are a post-apocalyptic mailman with a baby that can see ghosts, who wanders a quiet landscape of moss and rock to bring scattered and isolated people things like cd's, sheet music, robot parts, energy drinks, medicine, and a million odd little items.
You quickly find yourself in a rhythm, walking, using ropes and ladders to cross difficult terrain, and suddenly that rhythm is interrupted by ghost whales, lions, and violence that is literally transporting. It's incredibly cryptic but as you form connections between survivors it all begins to make sense.

This game is a fever dream: a walking simulator, a combat nightmare, a political satire, an allegory for the isolation of capitalism and exploitation (patriotism). Plus what other game includes rocking a baby and it singing it nice songs as a fundamental game mechanic?

This documentary about Hideo Kojimaās unique and artful approach to creating video games is a breath of fresh air in a world where so few modern arts embrace originality and experimentation over a proven profit formula. Iām not a huge gamer myself, and have fallen into the trap of only playing remakes of the same big name video games ā rather than exploring the unknown, embracing creativity, and seeking to learn in my leisure time. This documentary, focusing around Hideoās creation of the game Death Stranding, challenges these habits of mine and many others. Why should I mindlessly play first person shooter games centered around nuclear warfare and raw violence when I could instead foster new perspectives through thought-provoking experiences? The content we consume in our personal time, including gaming, has as much of an impact on ourselves as what we consume in our work lives and with family and friends. Why not choose to use my gaming time to learn more about shared humanity, about myself ā to be creative, to explore, and be open to new experiences. As Guillermo del Toro puts it at the end of this documentary, itās rare when you finish a video game and feel better about yourself afterwards. But it is possible, if you play games with meaning, produced by the rare creator such as Hideo.

No screen Sundays. If I want to listen to music its CDs or radio. If I want to watch a movie, no I donāt. If I want to see a friend, I will make plans with them on Friday or Saturday to meet up. As a result, I read more, write more, and sit with questions like ādid Citizen Kaneās 50 year winning streak in the Sight and Sound critics choice survey end in 2012 or 2022? When did Stephen Merritt come out? Whats the etymology of Whitsun?ā
This is something that I have practiced off and on for many years but Iāve been doing it every week since December and I love the way that it just allows me one day of true freedom and rest.

My calendar this year has 52 of these week at a glance pages but I donāt think that way. So, I've been inspired by Ross Gayās Book of Delighs to start recording the little moments and sensations that bring me joy throughout the day. An analog pi.fyi, if you will.
heres some of what I have so far:
- Waking up to the sound of my upstairs neighborās footstep. It sounded nostalgic. Felt like company.
- Strawberry jam
- feeling tender for strangers: their lips, nail colors, their small wrists. Thinking of all the lives we hold gently.
- A young girl bought an LP at the bookstore just before I left. She stroked its cover with love
- Green tiles āthe mint shade always makes me think of Jancie
- Charlieās little bop and punch dancing to some German language punk
- lunch with Katherine, curry Brussels sprouts
- small talk at the photo studio. The photographer's brother was named after their dad, stole his identity, bought jet skis.
