Cyberpunk2077 hits like a truck. Mike & Alex are here to talk about the unparalleled achievement of world & character building that is Cyberpunk2077, including definitions of such terms as ‘Mikoshi’, ‘engram’ & ‘digital matter’.

We use Neo-Thomistic philosophy to analyze video games as fine art. Against corporate & political interests, we argue they (should) exist solely to be beautiful: self-contained, self-justifying acts of worldbuilding.
