Kotaku: In Japan, or anywhere with remote mountainous regions, there are porters who carry supplies and food to areas beyond vehicles’ reach. The Japanese word for this is bokka (歩荷) or literally “step cargo.”
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
Now that Death Stranding has landed on iOS, here are five other PS4-era blockbusters that we'd love to have to play on our iPhones at any time.
To celebrate the launch of Death Stranding on iPhone 15, Kojima Productions have teamed up with Backbone to launch a special controller.
Just got to chapter 5 and Im loving every second of this game. Phenomenal boss fight at chapter 4, and just great dialogue and story. What a GEM.
"According to Asahi News, it’s important that porters like Hagiwara do not overdo it. Carrying the load requires intense concentration and physical strength, but it’s necessary to take many breaks, especially before one’s shoulders start to go numb.
In that regard, these real-life porters are different from Sam Bridges, who seems to only have to contend with balancing loads and not numb shoulders. But porters like Hagiwara don’t have to deal with terrifying ghosts or take care of pod-babies. Thank goodness for that!"
Hey, actually Sam rubs his shoulders to regain stamina...
Keep on keeping on!
That's a serious load on that guys back in the picture! Half the food would probably be gone by the time I made it to the destination.
