slaytober day 3: the princess

whatever you were, forget.

The Good Ending isn’t my preferred, but I don’t really understand why people detest it so much. Conceptually I don’t think it’s terrible. It’s only terrible if you think you absolutely have to do something with your life, which obviously cant happen in TGE as it is stasis.

I have yet to hear one good reason that TGE is ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’ other than a personal dislike of the idea. I also feel like it isn’t helped given it’s a game, and obviously you want to explore things further. So TGE doesn’t end up satisfying from a gameplay standpoint.

But like if we engage in the hypothetical, I can’t really find an issue with a constant blissful existence. But I also don’t really care for having ‘meaning’ in life because ‘value’ is a subjective concept and one we entirely made up. Nothing has an inherent value or lack of it.

I guess you can argue that TGE isn’t really ‘real’ considering its manufactured by The Narrator, but that also fails to consider that TLQ, so long as he perceives that happiness to be real, then it is real. He is happy in the good ending as long as he believes that he is.

Also you can argue that it’s ‘fake’ and ‘doesn’t matter’ for pretty much everything in the game. The construct is just that—a construct. But does that necessarily mean that those experiences didn’t affect you and shape you?

When you say it’s fake you’re failing to engage in what the game is trying to tell you. When you don’t acknowledge anything presented and try to just detach yourself you end up unfinished. Held by her hands forever. How is that any better than the eternity in The Good Ending?

Like, I do understand why people dislike The Good Ending. It’s unsatisfying from the standpoint of it leaving you wanting more. But I don’t get why people claim it is a ‘bad’ ending other than a reactionary reason, or simply disliking Narrator so you automatically dislike TGE too
