what a fantastic game, just in every way. I actually started tearing up going through Tiff's stuff in the postgame, her story really got to me.
Between the barely functioning grandma and grandpa conspiracy webpages, the html nightmares by edgy teens desperately wishing to express themselves fully and openly, the fileshare sites and online communities struggling to find a foothold in the increasingly corporatized (free-time domineering) internet, and The Christianity, I found a heartbreaking story about lonely people being blindsided by the ambitious future, and paying the price for it.
We want to connect with people, despite it all. We want to make an impression on others that outlasts our physical bodies, be it in trying too hard, commiserating woes or barking philosophies, generously sharing your loves without fear, or blowing something up for all to see. And it's a gut-wrenching reality that we want to burn so brightly in a world that keeps us so alienated. Worse still that those who are truly to blame may never be held accountable. We blame ourselves and others instead of the platforms and ideologies that were poison from the start.
I'm very tired so maybe this doesn't make sense.
Hypnospace Outlaw was very very good. And Squisherz are really cool.
