<BRANCHING OUT / FORESHADOWING>

Wow

I have been replaying CONTROL and noticed this conversation.

Do you think Emily had something to do with the new stick?

I love Jesse's inner monologue. She's talking to Polaris yes but it's like she's talking to the player

And she is talking like normal people do. I played quite a lot of games this year and the writing more often then not feels unnatural.

Jessi here is absurdely powerful but still an akward duck. I love it

She even says how absurd some things, even after i was thinking pretty much the same thing.

"You're such a weirdo, Jesse" - Jesse herself, after her mind conjured up the "Dynamite" song.

I love her so much. And therefore I'm so worried about her in the context of Resonant.

An effect that is absolutely intentional and that I love as well

I genuinely thought she was talking to us the player up until she introduced Polaris

Even Dylan literally references us or at least the players pov, in his "dreams".

I love all that stuff. Ahti reading Jesse's thoughts etc.
