I was so ready to be constantly confused while playing Death Stranding cuz every article I saw about the game was like "Couldn't understand a single thing that happened 10/10" but I think speed-running The Locked Tomb series only a few months ago prepared me perfectly. I didn't get half of what went down in those books and I love them with all my heart. Turns out confusing post-apocalyptic necromancy with peculiar humour, life/death energies, splitting souls between body/mind, unique worldbuilding, cosmic horror and homoerotic vibes is the perfect niche for me

#death stranding #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #hideo kojima #harrow the ninth #girl I was so lost in the book #and I loved every second of it #both DS and TLT do fantastic lead up to twists tbh #where you're confused about something for most of the story #and then suddenly everything clicks into place #this post in general is aimed at a very niche audience #but also i can't be the only one #both are such beautiful narratives about love loss life and death #about fate and ending the world because you think you know better #I feel like there should be some overlap in this venn diagram #there's a moment where Sam goes 'what's even the point' while doing mission shit near the end of the game and Lou makes some kind of noise #And it reminded me of the scene near the end of Nona where she remembers Noodle is with them #Like thats what life is about #to protect and care and to give out kindness to those we love #the point is that there might even be one small being that makes life worth fighting for #even when you're exhausted
