As a lifelong gamer and and an almost lifelong enjoyer of the despair of watching humanity defile our one and only home… duh.

It’s not just about dopamine/cope either. Knowing that people saw the state of the world they lived in, and came together to make good art anyway, is good for the soul. It reminds us that there is still good in the world worth fighting for.
It’s easy to forget that when algorithms show us the worst and stupidest of humanity every day for peak engagement.
