Ah man as a Buddhist I just can't fish. I get that this is not to kill them but I still have to jam a piece of sharp metal into it to pull it up in the violently real world.
Why can't I just use a cute letter and hug instead?

Right? The good news is fish don't have as many nerves as mammals do, so they don't feel pain from this. At least, that's what I've heard, I still feel bad about it though.

What catch and release fishing feels like.

Personally I'd prefer people catch fish they intend to eat (and obviously, within respect of natural resources) rather than ending up killing a bunch for sport, even if it's not the intention.

I think they're talking about stardew valley, the frame with the exclamation point over his head is reminiscent of the fishing minigame.
