#idk how to tell this guy that the deeply personal stuff is on Layer 5 Of Metaphors That Havent Been Revealed Yet

[sibyl-of-space]

ok im sorry i just got the most genuinely baffling piece of "feedback" in history and it's under the cut because i just need to dunk on this guy. i have already dunked on this guy in 2 different discord servers but that's not enough because.

somehow, by some mechanism, the most media illiterate gamer dudebro who i am still somehow facebook friends with [maybe we went to high school together???] saw me posting about my game demo, ACTUALLY PLAYED THE DEMO, and then gave me..... "feedback." it went as well as you might expect.

i don't think he has ever so much as read a book of his own volition, and it shows.

"

this has a lot of pretty personal things under a pretty thin veil of allegory, and ultimately it seems to exist for the sake of expressing a particular experience as a record. possibly legal even tbh i and anyone who plays may feel implicated somehow, but there arent choices in this game, there are characters with relationships you can hear describe to eachother there is nothing to thwart and its designed to ensure clear delivery of specific information in a direct manner This feels directed at someone, and knowing nothing about this situation and having barely played this game, you should probably talk to them or something?

"

.......where does one even begin. my response was just. "thanks for playing it! you don't seem to have much experience with visual novels, I encourage you to try more of them out."

[I DID NOT INSERT THOSE WEIRD COMMAS AND PARAGRAPH BREAKS BTW THAT IS LITERALLY HOW HE FORMATTED IT. AS ONE SINGLE LENGTHY MESSAGE.... BUT WITH COMMAS AND PARAGRAPH BREAKS]
