I finished Outer Wilds a few weeks ago. It was, in my opinion, one of the strongest arguments for treating video games as an art form that I’ve ever experienced. It’s not long - I finished it in about 20 hours - but the narrative and story is so well put together and thought out that it felt a lot longer. I thought it was beautiful and thought provoking.
Video games as a whole aren’t for everyone, but if I meet someone and they’re interested in games but hasn’t played them much, Outer Wilds is on the top of my list of recommends. If you play a lot of video games, this one will amaze you. Don’t read anything about it - just grab it when it’s on sale and go in blind. I did and it made a big difference.
Mass shooters would have to admit that they’re being pulled around by the balls like Nikki by their addiction. Not heroin like Nikki necessarily, but hate. Hate is addictive and it’s just as useful as heroin for getting junkies to jump whenever they’re told “frog” by TV/their handlers. Cheaper too.
Not gonna lie, I’d be horrified if someone used Operation Mindcrime as their personal manifesto. Then I’d probably stop listening to that album, and that would suck, because it’s a non stop banger.
