ive been kind of just browsing around for the past few days on this thread and kind of just spectating but i decided to post here finally because ive been having some interesting thoughts lately

theres posts mentioning how the company that supposedly made it was involved in biocomputing technology and how they used people to make computers and how the machine seems weird and acts strangely 

is it weird to kind of want that? like to be the pinball machine? 

i find it sounds really peaceful and gross im imagining like im the machine but my brain and my eyes and mouth and face are strewn and stretched inside the machine and i can exist and communicate through sound effects and mechanical parts moving around to make the machine do noises and move and its genuinely it made me want to cry? i like teared up ive never felt like this not even when i realized i was a girl and while i do admit is similar it feels really different


ive never felt like anything really

or maybe something more abstract, something entirely alien but retaining a semi familiar form that is decently comprehensible to a human's perspective? a game, i like games, we like games everyhone likes games, so why not be a game? something fun so that other people can have fun, take that form and let others play with you and both of you are happy , and maybe they can join you? walk into the glass where the artwork is behind and just keep walking , phasing through , to finally finally wake up from this dream we are all having and join something else, something different, something utterly unknown and beccome such sweet inbetweens

I feel the same. When you play a good game, it becomes an extension of you. Or you an extension of it. I can only imagine the euphoria of actually being there, being the game and not just a peripheral. It sounds incredible. If we reach that, I will rejoice with you.

Maybe we're already there.
