This came after one of its main subjects, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), sought to block the project’s release and threatened legal action against its creators.… Read the rest

Ugh, fine. I 'get' Twitch now. All it took was 'Ghost of Tsushima' and a pandemic.
Five months into self-isolating alone in a one bedroom apartment, I’ve accepted that my expectations of how all this was going to go were unrealistic. I don’t mean that in reference to the physical reality of the COVID-19 pandemic or even the whiplash unpredictability of the time loop that is 2020 — I mean my expectations for me, personally.

So while it’s always fun to settle down with a sappy rom-com or gritty drama,… Read the rest
