man it's fucking wild to me that it's now almost impossible to Get Into blaseball if you're new to it because it's just. Not possible to experience it in the same way anymore
Like sure you can go back and watch the roundups or even watch replays on before sibr but at least for me the biggest part was just. Experiencing it alongside others and figuring out what the fuck was even happening. It was desperately trying to organize a bunch of strangers to come up with a voting strategy only to see it fail in new and exciting ways. It was frantically making shitty propaganda and on my phone while on vacation and eventually making custom reaction gifs for my favorite players. It was making dumb inside jokes with people and planning online events and cheering for players who were names on a screen but they were real because we DECIDED they were real. It was getting genuinely emotional when something cool happened or when a player I liked got incinerated as I watched. It was voting to make this better and voting to make things worse. And sure a lot of it is still there but a lot of it is just. Gone.
but that also brings me to how whenever i see people suggesting how to get into blaseball it's all about watching the roundups checking out reblase or before or even listening to the garages which is all well and good. but I think that's only a small part of what blaseball was, at least to me
So I think the best way for someone who wants to get into blaseball now that it's over is to just. Talk to people who were there. Just find someone who was into blaseball and ask about their favorite player or a game they remember fondly. And the coolest thing about that is I can GARUNTEE that every person you talk to is going to have something different to say because there's just. SO MUCH
