I replay The Beginner's Guide approximately every year because I keep finding myself looking at it in a different way. it is a stellar game and this is a stellar post

I love the idea that you can capture this knot and express it in a game. It is — as is a theme in the game — a way to take something complex and confusing and give it a dedicated space and boundary so you can acknowledge it and still move forward

the full first paragraph in the final abstract section was an eye opening mirror for some writing projects I've started over and over. that was pretty cool. the idea that some people also refunded the game because they thought it was really stolen games is still funny.

oh shit i love this fucking game, time to force copies of it onto even more people

No need to, they're independent experiences. The Stanley Parable is absolutely worth playing as well though!

sweet

No, separate games. Now do not seek any further information whatsoever about this game and play it right now. That’s the only way to experience it

Love this game, what an experience

that probably started it

this is really good, and i appreciated reading it because it articulated a few things i'd been struggling with in my own creative process lately.

excited! i feel like I lack something in my character that prevented me from feeling like I really understood it. I got SOMETHING out of it for sure but I've always felt like there's way more in there

also very good!

MSPFA was a real blast, wasn't it.

I suppose I finally have to play The Beginner's Guide, then.

Taking a non-queer read of the game makes it look like the player is subjected to a really bad date. Interesting to consider from a feminist perspective, for sure.
