Trauma and abuse are, I think, extremely important topics for video games to begin approaching - it points to a maturity in the medium, as games begin dealing with increasingly ‘real’, ‘adult’ subjects. This is also why, in my opinion, it’s important we call it out when we feel a game has mishandled the issue - hence my latest video essay on DONTNOD’s Captain Spirit. Even if you end up disagreeing with my stance, I hope I contributed something worthwhile to the conversation. Enjoy!
Hey guys it’s Max, and unfortunately I’m bearing more freaky glitches in time rather than a cheerful selfie.
This was posted on my Instagram sometime yesterday I think? It’s so scary… That is us but we have never been to a desert… At least not together. So it’s us but it’s not US, us. My mind feels like it’s going to explode… Or it already has and my understanding of everything I know is gone.
They mention David (Chloe’s stepdad) and Chloe even said that the Max they met on the live stream (“Not me and almost definitely not the one in this picture”- Chloe) was crying about a storm… I think it’s the same one as the one this Max is talking about… But she looks happy… We both do. We? Or them… I don’t know anymore. It’s too weird calling Chloe and I “them”
The only conclusion (though it scares me shitless) is these glitches have to be us somehow… They are other versions of us somehow tapping into our Instagram account like something you would see in a Doctor Who episode. It kind of reminds me of the classic episode Blink where they are speaking from a transcript that hasn’t happened yet. It’s Crazy. I don’t think I’ll be able to look at that episode the same way ever again… And it’s one of my favourites. Wahh! (ι´Д｀)ﾉ
It sounds insane but it is unfortunately the most logical thing out of this completely non-logical situation that I can think of to explain this or more that Chloe can think of and I can just try to wrap my head around. Times like these I feel so lucky I have a girlfriend who is punk by day, and secretly nerd by night on the case with me who knows a lot more than you would expect about quantum physics. She is trying to explain multiverse to me and absolutely blowing my little logical brain with her theory’s but… So is reality? so i’m trying my best to grasp this new perception… Which is non perception ironically. :P Something that helps is trying to get my head around the idea that maybe if I didn’t have an idea of reality in the first place this wouldn’t be so impossible to believe.
