I felt exactly the same thing when I read a discussion talking about the last of us like it was the first game to have a story that had any kind of depth or meaning.

We get angry at this because it’s just media spin. The news is just opinion pieces using vibes to paint pictures that help wherever the money is coming from. I like indie critics on youtube and stuff because I have much more faith that their opinion is their own. YMS comes to mind, which I assume you may know since he loves Charlie Kaufman too! ❤️
