deja vu

A father from the Pragmata Reddit shares a tear-jerking story about his late daughter and how much the protagonist of the game, Diana, reminds him of her. From his story, McKenzie has seizures and atrial tachycardia that developed into supraventricular tachycardia. That caused her to pass out while playing. Despite being flown into an intensive care center, she passed away at the hospital in her parents' arms. The way he describes her being "forever eight" hits like a truck... and it's clear from the photos how much love and joy she brought into their lives. There is something really magical about this game that goes beyond just gameplay... the potential of life, love, and fatherhood... the intangible elements of the human experience that no material wealth can create... therapy for the soul. Thirty years after stepping away from gaming, he's back in it for the escape, for connection, and for the memories. It does genuinely restore a bit of faith in humanity as it is a strong example of how art, even in video game form, can hold space for love, grief, and new memories all at once. It also reminds us that video games these days can bring powerful experiences in the human soul that no other medium of entertainment can bring.

ドイツで起きた悲劇。 彼女の名はリアナ。 ウクライナの激戦地マリウポリから命からがら避難してきた16歳。 歯科助手になる夢を抱いていたが、駅で背後から突き飛ばされ貨物列車に跳ねられ亡くなった。 犯人は31歳のイスラム教徒のイラク人。 難民申請は却下され送還対象だったのに、精神疾患を理由に居座り続けていた「偽装難民」だった。 安全を求めて逃げた先で、本来そこにいるはずのない者に未来を奪われた彼女が可哀想でならない。 これは日本にとっても他人事ではない。 人道支援を隠れ蓑にする「偽装難民」を放置すれば、いつか日本でも同様の悲劇が起きる。 日本は偽装難民に対して毅然と、厳格に対応すべきだ。 ルールを守らない者が野放しにされる不条理を許してはいけない。
