It's been three seasons of heavy food rationing, getting more and more strict as the year drags on and the fields continue to struggle. You've been wasting away, you all have. What will you do? What can you do?

i think a lot about iwatex lore and story stuff outside its context of Video Game

like, it’s coded into the Video Game that kom always dies and there’s nothing you can do to save him. but in-universe? i don’t think fate or predestiny is a big thing here, bc it’s a time loop and sol’s whole life is different every time, so i often think about an In Universe fluke timeline, where something different happens and kom survives. anemone gets to grow up with her older brother and she doesn’t become a soldier and sol gets to see what it looks like for her to have a happy life.

and then it never happens again. sol can’t figure out what let kombucha survive in that loop, and they can’t ever recreate it, and he never survives again. that was the only loop where anemone was actually genuinely happy, and the guilt of its eats at sol in semi lucid moments of loop-awareness.

So everyone talks about (on Exocolonist Reddit at least) how their first run sucked and was deeply unsatisfying. But I’d like to talk about mine, one I feel was bittersweet and set the tone well for my future playthroughs.

My first Sol was interested in the humanities from the start, in history and philosophy and culture. This was what sold me on the game, that these things were considered important for the colony's future.

My first Sol had no augment, my favorite setting in the whole game. As a disabled person, I felt really represented by having this option and ever since, I have played nearly every Sol with no augment (except a few cycles with Calm Temperament but shhh)

Tammy was my childhood best friend, although I was very split between her and Dys.

When Tammy died, I instantly reloaded to try again--and so was given the ability right out the gate to save her. Of course, her father still died and the pixie beans still happened and my mother died--but I kept studying humanities, kept playing the photophonor because I wanted my Sol to be a poet-philosopher, similar to the era of rockstars in the 70s in the vein of Don Henley or Bob Dylan who had deeper ideas about our society.

By the time that the Helios dropped, Sol was eager to find love and acceptance--especially so by the time her father died. So she threw herself into the arms of Rex, who has been a favorite and a lover in many a run for my Sols.

Solana began to shift focus, to teaching kids. As her other friends drifted away, at least Tammy remained true with a birthday cake every year.

I remember the ending so clearly. Life didn't turn out the way that my Sol expected, to be a rock star or a poet or a philosopher--but she was a teacher who followed in Hal's footsteps, who cultivated curiosity and continued to fight the good fight for her parents' dreams. She would be friends for life with Tammy, and she and Rex cultivated a home full of love and children.

So my first Sol was pretty happy, all things considered.

I don't know, I just feel bittersweet when I think of that first run and I smile.
