LoFi Apocrypha

Joan of Arc is often reduced to a clinical explanation: she heard voices, she was delusional, she was a fluke.But that answer feels a little too easy.In this episode of Lo-Fi Apocrypha, we look at why Joan continues to unsettle us — and why modern attempts to explain her away say less about her, and more about us.At what point does explanation become convenient dismissal?

In this first episode of Lo-Fi Apocrypha, we explore Grace Ashcroft as a character who stands in stark contrast to the “strong female lead” often seen in video games — especially within the Resident Evil series.Rather than embodying control, confidence, or dominance, Grace reflects something more vulnerable: fear, uncertainty, and emotional realism. In doing so, she challenges the expectations behind the “girlboss” archetype and what we’ve come to recognize as strength.This episode looks at what happens when a character resists that mold — and why that difference matters.If you’ve ever questioned how strength is portrayed in games and media, this is for you.
