Hey, you might've noticed the title for the video changed! I thought it wasn't very clear what the video was about (plus it wasn't doing too well in terms of views!) so I changed it - just a little bit of transparency!

Endings are something that we don't appreciate enough, we spend so much  time trying to squeeze every drop of content from games that we often  don't get around to finishing them at all - and worse yet, some  developers don't even *want* you to finish their games, leading to a  malaise that's afflicted videogames for close to a decade.  

The solution? We need to embrace the shorter, more imperfect endings  that video games have to offer, and after blinking their way through  time and across the boundary of mortality, The Architect has some wisdom  to share about how some of the best games of the year so far can create  satisfying conclusions that mean much more because they aren't complete.

I'm too scared to play "The Ending of Before Your Eyes" myself. I feel like I blink way too often, and forcing myself not to do that sounds unhealthy.

Seeing the ending of this video, I think it is also OK to chase after the content not knowing if it will be satisfying or not, as long as you are doing it for yourself. Complete things with stubbornness and comb the game for secrets. Vihart made a cool video about Twelve Threads recently, where she talked about "Stubborn Failure" and "Comfort with Not Knowing" along with other things. Comfort with not knowing where the paths you take may lead, and living your live as your live and not as a results factory for someone else. I feel like there is a bit of a paradox here but I stil like to follow my gut when it comes to these things, even if it means being very selective at times and very thorough at other times.
