Why Western Games Keep Choosing the Katana
Why are there always katanas in Western games? Night City, Japantown. The player picks up a blade from an Arasaka agent’s corpse. The inventory says Katana. He switches to melee, draws, dashes, parries, executes. Neon slides along the blade. The cybernetic arm makes a hydraulic sound. In The Witcher, the same action belongs to the steel sword on Geralt’s back. In Dark Souls, it belongs to Artorias’s greatsword. In Elden Ring, to a greatsword jump attack.

What I’ve Learned Along the Way
“Do not deprive me of my age. I have earned it.” — May Sarton I turned 54 this year, so I’ve been on this big round (ish) ball for a while now. It’s said that age comes with wisdom, but I’m not sure if that’s true. Wise denotes someone with a deep understanding, keen discernment, and sound judgment, categories I have trouble fitting. Often I’ve done the best I could; often, I didn’t.
