You might’ve thought me a crazy person if you hadn’t played Braid yet, but hear me out, I just played it now. The resemblance to my own stories and episodes on this blog was more than surprising. It is as if I was being watched, but it’s not just me, it is the common human being.
Quoted from the game:
This improvement, day by day, takes him ever-closer to finding the Princess. If she exists–she must!–she will transform him, and everyone.
Before I behind, the comma after “transform him” shouldn’t be there, but that’s how it is in the game. Makes me cringe! What I wanted to say is, doesn’t that sound like my blog since I’ve been single this past year? Sitting there improving myself, learning how to communicate, learning from my mistakes. Trying to reward myself for being educated rather than punishing my past mistakes. This is Braid. Kinda nice to see this, but I am now almost hoping the end of the game is as defunct of the princess as the rest of the game. Why? Because I have not yet hit the point in my life where, keeping in the metaphor of the game, I’ve found my princess, or second princess, or gotten my princess back. It feels weird to complete that when I’m not even there yet correct?
