my favorite things. ever. are simple phrases that, under the tremendous context one is already acquainted with, pack a punch. a moral or lesson learned, a metaphor to apply to everything you’ve gathered, or even something familiar. it brings a sense of finality. and it hits especially hard with either the power or peaceful nature it is delivered. it’s amazing to me how a simple construction of words can give one goosebumps. frisson.

such examples (imo) include “this place is not a place of honor” from the Transuranic (radioactive) Waste Isolation Pilot Plant message, “no day shall erase you from the memory of time” by Virgil for the 9/11 museum, “cogito ergo sum” by AM from IHNMAIMS, “maybe a fox” from Maybe a Fox by Kathi Appelt and Alison McGhee, “i placed my fate into the hands of random gods, and now i must endure it to the end” and “i struggle to accept being a bug” from Rainworld, and many many more.

I didn’t know Will You Snail? by Jonas Tyroller had a message like this, even after my 8+ playthroughs. i replayed it again today after 3 years since my initial hyperfixation in 2022 and can only describe what i feel as shock and awe. this phrase, when applied to everything you learn about the game, translates perfectly.

you’ve earned your eternity of peace, buddy. so long.
