ngl when I heard all of TECHDOG it gave me huge vibes of a system artist. Ofc nothing is obvious or a telltale sign, but some artists give off those vibes~ Glad you have a good therapist!

Weird Al? more like Deranged Al

the fact that they're isolated enough to have like names and stuff is so amazing to me, i wanna get there so bad

I am watching this without knowing the witness, joes video, the critique. Great vid!

I'm sorry but why do you talk like you just have a Thesaurus sitting next to you.

It comes down to this: with rule-based puzzles (like Baba is You) you know that the puzzles follow basic rules of how they function, and that the puzzle is solvable with everything you see in front of you. You know the goal of the puzzle and can use logic to deduce the correct solution, and even if it isn't what you expected, any strange interactions still fit into the overall rules and can be explained logically. Getting stuck isn't a big deal because every second spent was spent toward producing the solution, and not solving a puzzle that didn't exist or couldn't be solved with what you had. This can't be said about what you called "riddle games" - the puzzle can take any shape or form, and you don't know if the reason you're stuck is because you're trying to solve a puzzle that doesn't exist, or if it does exist, that you're not missing a critical piece of information from an earlier level, or if you do have all the necessary clues, you just aren't interpreting it in the right way. Logic alone isn't enough to solve them: you also need a combination of observation, intuition, and sometimes just making the right guesses. If I'm stuck on a Baba level, that's ok. I know that the goal of the puzzle is to have a "YOU" object be on the same tile as a "WIN" object, and I know the solution is there and will make sense once I see it. I really don't mind secrets being in my games, but I don't like being forced to find them in order to make progress. They should be extras, and not essential to the core experience.

this brought me unimaginable joy thank you

Honestly seeing your exploration of your plurality on tumblr has helped me come to terms with my own plurality. I've been in community with all kinds of systems for a while but like the way your alters manifested and also masked themselves? I suppose? Were painfully relatable in a way that made me stop and re-evaluate some of my own feelings And I can't say it was the only thing, I had started to suspect it, but seeing the experience of someone who very recently discovered their alters was very relatable Also might I add there's like two layers of system denial for me there, like "well it's just phases or moods, I'm not actually switching, i'm just feeling a type of way" and then also "well I'm not *disordered*, I'm only like a little bit plural, I'm basically normal, I don't experience blackouts or heavy dissociation" I think system tumblr contributed to some of that

Happy 25th! Hope you're doing alright :)

What's your pronouns? Genuine question

You can cheese the game by using cheat engine, editing the locust counter and then going to any floor by swapping the tiles within the game ui itself like floors.

I still disagree with a lot of Anderson's take on the game. But that rebuttal was definitely not done well. You should watch "Literary Analysis of The Witness" by The Gemsbok. It's a very solid video. Although it's not very critical it does take a great look at the "meta" narrative of the game as well as the overall meaning and theme.

Now im going to go watch all three lol

Idk seems to me he’s commenting on the lack of originality in art? The classic which monkey types Shakespeare first kinda deal

move of ten released abt 2 months [digital release]/1 month [physical release] before i was born my fursona is a wolf [actually wolf/fish hybrid but still] i think that's a sign i should listen to move of ten 10 times

...Is this where the mentally deficient congregate?

joseph anderson has a flaw where he seems to have a bit too narrow of a definition of what games can and should be, which im sure makes this video a bit annoying for witness fans. in response to this, allirontalks decides that puzzle games are only for a specific type of person who is willing to blindly overlook any problem or difficulty a puzzle game might throw at them for some vague idea of personal fulfiillment. what if its a persons first puzzle game and they arent familiar with the genre? is a thing within a genre only for the people who already like the genre it is a part of? really?

E621…………….😂

hallucinated it again award

I adore void stranger as a story, as the events and as the secrets and things in it... i just...didn't care for playing over a bijillion floors of tile swapping puzzles

Okay seriously what the fuuuuuuuuuuck because I should NOT be relating to this so much Our host is a puppy, and the "Adult" latched onto the identity of, of all things, Scipio from the VN Khemia. There's four different canines in here and none of us understand what we're supposed to do send help

it is not that serious bro

what is wrong with you.

Imma be real i have no idea how any of this works but just to ask if you datin someone is that person dating like one alter or 4 different people and an someones thats essentially the main character of a video game? Or is it like all of you just exist as one person but are also distinct enough to be different depending on the situation? How do yall even communicate? Also which one is talking even in this video? How does someone know who is who? How does an alter thats a character from a video game even work? Like if that raccoon ends up being like a child murderer does the alter start being like that or does the alter just become a fanfiction version? Do yall have different birthdays based on the one comment about telescope? I have left this video a deeply confused man.

i hate super monkey ball

I got void stranger for Christmas and while I’ve had a fun time overall and have made it pretty far, I definitely see why you didn’t have a good time, and if I hadn’t gotten lucky and immediately correctly guessed how the brand puzzles worked I’d probably be in a similar boat. I think it’s a shame you stopped when you did though, the ending you got unlocks a “hard mode” where the sokoban puzzles are genuinely challenging and engaging the whole way down. You don’t need the power ups, and you get the same ending regardless of if you ate the void fruit or not. It’s nothing but raw actual puzzles. You don’t have to finish the game, there’s plenty of more riddles outside of hard mode and to be honest not all of them have been fun to solve so far (especially with how time consuming reaching the bottom can be). However, at the very least I think completing hard mode might be fun.

the "i have to assume this is how lesbians feel about glados" got us so hard but it puts it in to perspective so well like we immidietly understood because like thats just true

Nooooo, the profile was deleted, such a shame.

Why do you not want to be like this it's awesome..?

please keep twitter posts confined to twitter, thank u

why is captain disillusion speeding up

Me watching this video to understand who the guy in the spinning circle was

As someone who's sorta adjacent, I feel that the idea of a "system" is just as valid as the idea of a singular identity filtered through masks/moods/aspects. It's less a "condition", more a model of psychology. I don't think trying to distinguish between alter and mask/mood is meaningful. It's all the same stuff, just repackaged by your own perception. If being a system feels right, then it's just right. Personally, I've had a lot of dissociative symptoms, and I feel a disconnection from a stable sense of identity, but I'm fully cohesive. I do have certain "masks" that have a sense of identity attached to them, but they're not entirely distinct. I don't feel enough personal identity to believe that there is a singular me, but at the same time, I don't feel that a plural view describes me either. Regardless, don't worry so much about "truth". As others have said, there's no objective reality inside your own brain. Just do what works best for you.

With me, I have distinct headspaces, but I still don't have the lack of connection that causes me to distinguish separate personalities. I always have control, but I did have the time to distinguish my headspaces through both name and species. (weird, I know) But to not get my eyes on me, I'll leave it at that, and hope whoever's fronting, and everyone else, can all be at ease at some point.

nyea. glad ur therapist is helpful

you're doing great

I saw bad guys when I was 19 and got carded going into the theater for some reason.

I think I'm experiencing the exact same thing, but with a slight problem... 2 don't have names. My brain is a massive rec room. 3 of the 4 walls are just corkboards full of every stupid fact I've learned while the 3 gremlins in there try to figure out how everything works. It's been like this for the past month. HELP. I genuinely need advice

imagine showing this to a victorian peasant

I’ll turn 26 in the new year. Im a middle child, both my siblings are moved out, I’m still here. I feel insecure about it. But also, the world has gotten much less acommodating for people trying to gain their independence for the first time, ESPECIALLY neurodivergent people. I’m lucky that my folks are so patient and actually like having me around, and that they’re not the source of any trauma. Living with your parents doesn’t make you less of a person, nor does it make you less of a brilliant and thoughtful creator.

You’re welcome for watch :) Im so glad I found this channel

oh yeez I feel all of this so hard. the way I discovered most alters is the same as what you're describing. thinking someone is just a weird mood of someone else, then slowly realising that "mood" has likes and dislikes, an appearance, an age and a name of their own. the best advice I can give as someone who's been diagnosed with DID for 8 years is - keep trusting your gut instinct. mine is always right and bad shit happens every time I ignore it. edit: also listen to people if they wanna talk, be open to communication no matter the direction it's coming from. also also don't try to suppress people (which kinda goes hand in hand with the last one), it never works in the long run. if they want to front they will at some point and they will remember you've prevented them from doing so in the past. they will be very angry, which will make communication much harder.

Thank you, very cool

eieieieieieiiiieiiii YAYYYYYYYYYYYY
