Ghosts and Devils: Jin Sakai, my great grandfather and me.

Ghost of Tsushima, the new IP by Sucker Punch, is finally out and now everyone can enjoy the story of Jin Sakai and his journey to save his home from the invaders. I had the pleasure to review the last big exclusive of Sony for this generation and one of the great things I experienced during the process is the many common points that this fictional adventure has with a real historical episode of my homeland. It put me in a unique position 'cause I found myself emotionally overwhelmed by a game that I approached with no expectations in this respect. This game brought back family memories shared by most of the sons of my land, some of those memories still hurt my people, others shaped a legendary legacy.

Warm-hearted thoughts for my quarantine

I'm in self-isolation since Monday 16th. At the end of that day, I started to feel very bad: my head was heavy, I was shaking, feeling cold. Soon after the fever came up and for the next three days my body's temperature raised up to 39,1 degrees. I lost the smell and taste, the cough was chocking me. Never felt so bad like this in years.

I'm still waiting to have a test, to understand if I'm one of the 528.000 persons in the world who have been infected by the COVID-19. In the meantime, most of the main symptoms are gone. I'm recovering fast, thanks to the love of my wife and some warm-hearted thoughts of strangers.
