A transcendent experience doesn’t lose any worth because it came out of a worthless game. I’ve come to believe that art is made to serve you, not the other way around. The internet makes it obvious just how many people out there are dedicating their lives to terrible art. Is that a waste of emotion? Yet I cared about it’s stupid plotline, and there’s a massive online community of people who still do. I look back on it now and I know it’s not good in any meaningful sense. It was even more pitiful because I knew this game was shit.ĭoes it matter if something you’re moved by is bad? I was once deeply moved by Kingdom Hearts. I looked at the end credits doing a kind of half laugh, half sobbing thing. Yet, despite how much time I spent yelling at the screen, this game moved me. At one point the protagonist complains “Looking at them communicate is terrible, like looking at a man being tortured by drilling his head open while blasting pop music at full volume at the same time.” I know how he feels. I say this because I believe it’s true: the game is terribly written. Every time it presents an idea it’ll spend three sentences making sure you didn’t miss it’s meaning. I don’t want to disengage myself just to laugh at the raw honesty people are putting forth here. The best bit is 4chan's unique way of dealing with emotions.
