Death Stranding taught me the value of patience. As Sam Porter Bridges, I embarked on a journey to reconnect isolated cities and people in a post-apocalyptic America. This was no easy task. The terrain was rugged and treacherous, scattered with obstacles and threats around every turn. Simply getting from point A to point B required immense patience and perseverance. I couldn't rush the journey or take unnecessary risks. I had to cautiously plot my route, take my time navigating rocky cliffs and river crossings, and pause frequently to catch my breath and regain my stamina. The game forced me to slow down, move methodically, and understand that progress requires patience.

This patience paid off through the connections I built with other players along the way. When I took the time to contribute resources to build roads and structures, it benefited others down the line. By liking and sharing other players' ladders and vehicles, I could lend a helping hand. And receiving likes in return motivated me to keep building communal tools and infrastructure. I realized delivering packages wasn't just about me and my destination; it was about being part of something bigger. My patience and cooperation with others quite literally paved the way forward.

Death Stranding also taught me to keep going in the face of failure. Sam frequently lost his footing on slippery terrain or got ambushed by terrorists. Whenever I botched a delivery, I wanted to give up in frustration. But I had to remember that failure is inevitable, and what matters most is learning from mistakes, picking yourself back up, and trying again. Just as Sam persevered after every setback, I grew to accept failure as part of the journey. There was too much at stake to dwell on imperfection. Persisting through failure brought me closer to accomplishing my mission.

Most importantly, Death Stranding instilled in me that every delivery—every promise made—matters. The packages I transported as Sam weren't just cargo. They represented connections to people waiting on the other end, people in need of aid, resources, and human contact. The promises I made to deliver brought hope and comfort to them. My capacity to keep those promises gave meaning to their lives. The gravity of that role taught me to value human relationships and understand that we all depend on one another's reliability. When I focused on the responsibility of my promises rather than the difficulty of the delivery, I gained purpose and motivation to press onward.

In an isolating world, Death Stranding showed me how patience, cooperation, and perseverance bind us together. Its poignant message will stay with me: the strands that connect us are fragile, but unbreakable when we walk hand-in-hand. Sam Porter Bridges' journey mirrored my own. Through his grueling trek that required patience, endurance, and a concern for others, I gained insight into what it means to be human—to profoundly need other people and be needed in return. Therein lies the strand that gives us purpose.

When the mod creation kit/sdk comes out, get ready, it's going to be wild.

Best version of VR Chat, incorporates almost the entire Unity engine into a VR platform that enables unlimited potential and scale for users from beginners at programming to senior software engineers.

Probably one of the better Star Wars games focusing on Jedi in a while. The surprise ending was a welcome addition. Unfortunately, I dont feel this title has much replay value, due to lack of PVP/Invasion modes present in Dark Souls and similar style games. Would have liked to see Dark Jedi invasions from other players.

This was my favorite game in the early 2000's and it still is today!

This game has given me a very fun excuse to exercise. The new DLC is great, and the songs flow very well with your movements to the song itself. I enjoy it immensely. Worth every penny that I paid. People leaving negative comments about the DLC are just frustrated that DLC was released on an Early Access game. Yes, that's not the best look, but honestly get bent. If you want the songs now, you'll end up paying for them later, whether as DLC or not.

Probably one of the best free-style sandbox building games I've played. You can create whole communities that harvest and breed dinosaurs. The servers will keep you engaged and keep content coming, with high level dinos and random giga's to tear up your bases and your pets. I've been addicted since purchase.
