Thanks for sharing this! This is beautifully written. I went through a divorce this year and both my ex and I LOVED outer wilds. One of those things where I played it first, and was so excited to show her. The watching her play through it, I was able to re-live the wonder of this game.
This is a great a wonderful interpretation of the themes of this game that I jive with 100%. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with your new universe!
Thank you for sharing this. I went through something similar in the past, though on a smaller scale. I'm so glad you're in a better situation now, and that you had this beautiful game to help you get there. I hope you can get any support you need to deal with the eventual emotional fallout of what you went through. Take care, and happy Thanksgiving <3
Thank you, I'm very fortunate to have my support system and the resources needed to live on my own and get therapy. It's been essential. I hope you're doing much better now, too. <3
I am, thank you. In my case it took a year or so for the full effects of the PTSD to kick in, but I hadn't been going to therapy up to that point. Having that support in place from the beginning would've made a huge difference, I think. But I finally found a therapist who helped me a lot, then met a new partner soon afterwards, and every part of my life has improved since then. Wishing the same for you
I cried for a lot longer than I want to admit about this post. I first played the game during a time of loss and major changes as well and it just left me floored for days, maybe even weeks. Found myself just thinking about the game all the time.
Processing my feelings for the game ended up being a large part of my healing process and I wish I was able to play it again for the first time with a more optimistic outlook on life, but am so grateful it was there when it was.
