#tag talk#I went in blind to Outer Wilds a few months back and couldn't figure out what I was doing#but I started a lore explained video about it and got halfway through before deciding I should give it another shot#spoilers make it so much easier to get into a piece of media. I just hate not knowing how things go#and I'll stop partway through spoilers once I decide I know enough. so I'm not spoiling completely everything#but like.. several movies I've only watched after the Wikipedia article seemed interesting.#with games it's more that I need to see someone else play it so I know how to approach.#I can't work with a blank canvas. I need to see someone else do it first.#it's like me and art. I can't do purely generative stuff. I'm good with editing images and coloring already drawn art#writing poetry about things I've already felt. singing songs someone else composed#and playing games once I've seen someone else play it first.#I need a template to work from. I need a guide to go back to it I need.#I can depart from it when I'm comfortable. I can change things to be more my own style.#but I can't start from nothing. I have a hard time going into games blind because I just don't know what I'm doing at all#so spoilers are cool#and they never detract from my overall experience.#I'll avoid spoilers if I deliberately seek out the new experience. once I know I'll like something.#but I can't go in totally blind. I hate it too much.#so anyway I'm playing outer wilds again and I'm enjoying it way more this time
