Rovarsson's Spring Thing 2021

I’m reading this monster-thread about the lack of parser-games in the 2014 IFComp. I went into Spring Thing 2021 with a lot of the feelings that are expressed in it. (Regret about the dearth of parser-games, looking down at Twine for being click-through stories, even some “oh no, not another emo-whine in Twine”)

I just wanted to say that I’m really glad that the contex of Spring Thing finally brought me to engaging with Twine games. It’s good to have my prejudices popped like a balloon filled with foul gas.

It’s a big part of this community and I was missing out on it.
