Man... that game was awesome. Easily one of my favorites from this whole year. I cannot recommend this game enough. If you like 2D platformers, really funny games play it, surrealist games, or even games with philosophical/introspective stories then play it.

![I find myself at an impasse with a confusing idea:
What if I don't actually hate myself like I thought I did for the past 19 years of my life?
You know that one David Foster Wallace quote about self-hatred? The one people love to brandy about like it's some kind of mic-drop moment? If you don't know it, then here it is.
For context, it's from the cutting room floor of an interview on ZDF circa 2003. The interviewer had read one of the stories in Wallace's collection "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" and had found in one of its characters a corollary to her own life. A friend of hers with multiple sclerosis had called her late at night to vent. While she felt good about being able to be a listening ear to her friend, she also felt as though she had let two hours of her life go by because she couldn't assert a boundary for herself.
"Imagine, though, if [someone] called you up late at night and talked to you for two hours, and it was mostly apologizing for bothering you. So[...] it’s just one more layer of frosting, which is just something that goes along with kind of a depressive temperament. So there’s a lot of narcissism in self-hatred."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:okp3nopjvpd6ewntlgnbtq72/bafkreihwjix3c5dbhi6ehf4vsn2iqvphzkpd3liua3fn77jzuzg2kviluu)
