Death Stranding 2 is the World's Fair we deserve


On the ground at the World Expo in Osaka, with Hideo Kojima's game of global connections on the mind.

In Yamaha's words, the bike is a responsive "unknown life form" designed to work with human thoughts, physical stimuli, and haptics that will supposedly revolutionise the rider's posture by freeing the upper body, sort of like a cyborg centaur. It is cognitive whiplash to see all the promised treasures in our bright, shiny roboticised future followed by a stroll through the unmanned Palestine booth, filled with beautiful examples of crafts and culture that are completely unmoored from the ongoing Palestinian genocide. Give me a silly side quest where I deliver a literal piece of Uluru - Australia's most sacred indigenous site that has been routinely abused by colonisers as a nice big tourist rock - to a K-pop boyband doppelganger called The Pioneer.
