Absolutely impossible to look at.

It's such an intricately designed puzzle game that's perfectly minimalist and strongly effective, but now every time I try to coalesce my thoughts on it it's through several veils of a culture storm that came in its wake, inspirations for good and a lot of bad, and just complete overexposure.

Truly one of the most revolutionary bits of art I can think of, as it has somehow become high end performance art in making twisted meme simulacras of itself. Pretty much the best of a 'post-mortem' I can make on it, because any attempt at a replay generates not a single emotion from my body. It's alright I guess.

I hope the next generations don't somehow "rediscover" this game, call me a boomer but I don't need anymore of this in my life.
