I’d been living in New York for several years, but I wasn’t really sure if I was happy. I was dealing with my usual personal struggles. That’s why I recently revisited Grand Theft Auto IV – it’s a pretty bleak game, and it resonated with how I was feeling. I was single, unhappy, and questioning whether I even wanted to stay in the US. Everything felt unstable and uncertain, as Sam Houser put it.
