Grand Theft Auto V, and the Pursuit of the Perfect Playlist Worshipping both the car and the radio, GTA V echoes the messy realities of modern-day infrastructure in the US.

The car and the radio are inextricably linked in GTA V: it's impossible to discuss one without the other.

In our first article on Radios, Boen Wang explores how GTA V's music stations mesh with a fantastical vision of driving and US infrastructure.

The Rotting Pizza of Final Fantasy 7 Though thought to be a thing of the past, 2D skyboxes can inspire players to dream of intricate worlds beyond a game's boundaries.

By showing glimpses of distant regions, skyboxes can encourage players to dream beyond a game's borders.

Such is the case in Final Fantasy 7, which Eteo founder @shedworksgreg.bsky.social unpacks in this week's Archetypes article.
