"I’m playing Stardew Valley as Ernest Hemingway and I finally learned how to fish" by Simone de Rochefort

I was looking at Stardew Valley stuff, because the game has never-ending appeal for me, and came across this. It works better for Stardew Valley fans but has a definite bookish connection, so I figured I'd share it. Just like the writer of this article, I almost never play as myself in games. It feels too weird. In Stardew Valley, I started off playing as a character who is similar to me in a lot of ways, but definitely not me. Each of my save files stars a character who I control but whose personality is different. The writer of this article specifically plays as Ernest Hemingway, which sounds like a fascinating as heck way to approach games.
