Against the grain

Seeing similarities:

Reading Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity’s Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism By Vanessa Machado de Oliveira

and…

Playing Sky: Children of the Light.

I’ll have more to say on the book content going forward. Tonight, it’s the game. A game in which you collect light, just to give it away at the end, and then to do it all over again. Oh yeah, and you can also spend your light to send hearts to other players. Definitely not your popular FPS.

It’s a social game that promotes compassion and cooperation. It’s not like other video games. It’s gorgeous and it’s great! It goes against the grain.
