i have been playing this game for ten years, ever since my eighth birthday. and now, i am eighteen. i may have had times where i said i no longer enjoyed this game, where i no longer wanted to play it.

but i always came back.
it never left.
and when i finally beat it, i cried.
i fucking cried.
this game is special to me in ways i cannot describe. to put it simply, i'd call it... art. i think that's the word.
