it's so strangely comforting that in a game notorious for its absurdism and jarring graphics and incomprehensible lore, a game where you literally kill and become god, a game that's essentially a parody of late-stage capitalism, you can ignore your mission and go fishing instead. you can put on a tattered rain hat and go fishing. to me, it feels a lot like a reminder that even in the absolute batshit world we live in, people are still people, no matter how hard you try to strip them of their humanity (you can fish on any difficulty; john's ability to engage in his one and only hobby can't be taken away even when his divine light is severed, or even when he apparently loses bodily autonomy).
