Remember when Valve made Portal 2 and it was the best game ever made? It was funny, and heartfelt, and masterfully designed, and gorgeous.

And then they sorta just quit making games?

That’s crazy.

Once had somebody tell me that you can’t spoil something good. And I think that’s largely true.

Understanding and discussing good fiction requires looking at way more than just what happens in a thing.

Like, straight up plot points are so infrequently what is actually worth discussing about art.
