EASTERN STATE HOSPITAL CORRECTION: We originally published this photo stating it was the old Medical Lake Sanitorium. That was incorrect. The Medical Lake Sanatorium was built in 1888 and stood in the same location, but was torn down. We also published an inaccuracy describing a nearby World War II prison that never existed.

The 13 video games we've been playing since quarantine

Pathologic 2 Pathologic 2 is the video game about a plague that is blowing my mind right now. Set in the early 20th century in a small town on the Russian steppe, you play a doctor who has returned home after receiving a disturbing letter from your father. There’s a sickness overcoming your town, and it’s up to you to stop it. The haunting atmosphere and gloomy visuals plant this game firmly in the horror genre, but there’s more to it than that… Pathologic 2 immerses the player in a first-hand study in death, disease and folklore. Try as you might, you won’t be able to save everyone. Your decisions (or indecisions) will follow you wherever you go. This is a tough game to play, and it will have you second-guessing everything you do. That’s all by design though. There aren’t many games that dig into your soul the way this one does. Available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

Streetwise Istanbul: Seeing ‘Other’ as Self

Ahmet Aydın (featured online) likes that he is carrying on an Istanbul and a family tradition by driving the cable car in Beyoğlu, a neighborhood on the European side of the city. Initially, the cable car was pulled by horses. When WW1 started, the horses were conscripted for the war. “During that time they constructed the electric lines and never turned back.” “When my father drove the cable car there were only 600,000 people in Istanbul. Now there are one million people on this street every day.” “The difficult part of my job is keeping from running over people who get in the way. This car is old, and the brakes aren’t good.” Ahmet usually works six days a week, mornings or evenings. “My favorite days are rainy ones when there are fewer people.” Ahmet Aydın’s work requires multi-tasking: keeping the car on track, rotating the bell crank and/or applying the brakes, when necessary, and minding the safety of passengers who are standing in the aisles. While climbing on and off to manage boarding and disembarking passengers, and collecting fares, he sprained an ankle. While Ahmet spends most of his time at work in Taksim on the European side of the city, he prefers the Asian side, such as the neighborhood where he grew up called Beylerbeyi. He also likes Anadolu Hisarı and Üsküdar. He enjoys going to Kanlıca for yogurt. His advice for life? “Not to worry about things. Take it easy. Eat what you want to eat.” (To view Ahmet driving the cable car, visit Streetwise Istanbul on social media).
