POV: It’s the early 2000s and you’re walking through the video game aisle at Best Buy.
PS2, Xbox, GameCube, PC games… rows of cases you’d stare at forever while trying to decide what was worth spending your money on.
Sometimes browsing the aisle was almost as much fun as bringing a game home.
you must believe you are special and then go so hard, for so long, with such violent refusal to accept any other ending, that reality itself starts running out of ways to tell you no. you must wage a war daily against the ordinary outcome, until the belief you invented out of nothing in a room by yourself has been hammered into the world so many times that it stops being a claim and becomes reality.
