I got a new job as a delivery driver for a packaging company and so, throughout the day, I have a lot of time for my mind to wander. I keep thinking that I really should get properly into Red Dead Redemption 2 - I've started it and played for a few hours, and I can feel that the game is clearly very good and has a great deal of craftsmanship behind it, but Christ it's slow. I'm really not a fan of Rockstar's habit of making characters feel more and more like they're wading through molasses just moving anywhere, and holding buttons down to interact with certain NPCs or objects as a mandatory part of gameplay.

Yeah I've been told that game is amazing and I know a lot of non-gamery types who have said it's the best game ever but the sort of over-commitment to realism doesn't interest me so much. I still need to play the first one to be fair so I'd sooner get to that! Have you played Death Stranding? I think my mind would constantly be going to that game if I were working as a delivery driver hahaha

You know, I bought it a while back and still haven't gotten around to it - but you make a good point about the job parallel!
