Reflecting on Current Events - Mafia 3 and Raging Against the Machine

It has been a long time, nearly nine years, since I have made a blog post instead of an editorial. Part of that is simply due to life getting in the way, but another part is how I have become almost a semi-professional critic within that time, working for websites such as Blistered Thumbs before it closed and now writing articles for the website TechRaptor. This piece though, is fully based on my own thoughts and opinions and is not affiliated with any website. The current events of the world right now - the COVID-19 Pandemic, the protests against police brutality after the death of George Floyd, and the inadequate leadership of politicians and police commissioners alike - has inspired me to take action, the only way I know how; to showcase a profound lesson found in a video game that many would often dismiss because of its technical shortcomings; Mafia 3.

I would hope that folks here would be interested in reading the editorial. Thank you.
