I liked it. It was strangely hypnotic viewing. Travis Himmel looked like he was stoned in it (his acting style?) and the plain weirdness of it reminded me of old Heavy Metal comics of the seventies. The nearest I have had to that was reading the Prophet series. Themes of religion and general human weirdness https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/prophet



You might change your mind if you read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Time_(novel) or you might not.

Used to happen to me when I played a lot of tetris on the gameboy back in the day. When reading any books afterwards I would see the tetronimoes slotting in the spaces between the lines of sentences and words. Goldeneye (N64) had me eyeing security cameras in the real world and making silencer noises in my head for quite a while too.

Apparently, GTP has been particularly pronounced with Tetris and is therefore also known as "Tetris effect" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect). This also shows that this is not a recent phenomenon. I was surprised that the article didn't mention Tetris at all.


PBF has an excellent comic on this https://pbfcomics.com/comics/game-boy/


This phenomenon is so common from Tetris that it's literally called the Tetris Effect.

I played a bit too much Blue Prince this past week or two and have started seeing the map drafting interface as I doze off...


Do you feel playing it was time well spent?


Great answer. However if this was 2014 I would have had the pleasure of proving you wrong:
