Hussie Quote: “Watching the kids figure out ways to hack the game is about as important to the story as watching them figure out how the game itself works in the first place. This is because the story is first about the game and the subversion of the game, and then about the narrative and the subversion of that narrative.”
OP: Wait a second, haven’t you been saying that all along? :O
I hadn’t thought about it as a direct progression from Game to Narrative, but in the sense of the story ultimately being about subverting the story/LE as author? Yeah kinda, which is pretty gratifying. He mentioned platonic idealism directly a couple of times, which was also pretty vindicating.
