This put me into a shaking rage.  It was so. . . frustrating. . .

...and yet so therapeutic. Feels good man.

Lost 45 minutes removing pesky viruses >_<

But it is an artsy game.

Now I didn't watch a lot of it... So let me see...

It is about a relationship and you, or at least the main character, is the villain but that is the twist.

Am I right?

[SomeStupidGuy]

It's not really a game. More... a way to deal with rough situations, I suppose?
It seems like it'd be rather nice if you're trying to make yourself feel better after a particularly bad argument or something worse.
Can't imagine it'd work for everyone. Especially if you go into it actively trying to consider it stupid or pointless.(so I can't really see it working for you, Neonivek. )
Annnnnyways... I like it.

Well screw you too, Justice Scalia.

I had no idea what it was.  Thought it was kind of cool at first, ended up feeling quite insulted.

Why? I've used that before and it kinda helped a little.

I like it, but I see what Vector means.
The tone can be seen as rather patronizing.

The impersonal patronisation helps when I'm trying to resolve situations where I was angry and either lost control or regret not losing control.

Tried to do that, but I could not think of a situation where I actually gave enough shits for it to be a problem, and that is a bit disturbing. The ability to just not give a single shit was useful in school when I was bullied, but now? I can't seem to actually bring myself to care about anything, positive or negative.

[Vector]

Because they wound me up THAT MUCH (LOL, want to write down what happened?  No, fuck you, I don't want to remember) and then were all "Just breathe in and out <3"

That, and none of the "comically horrible revenge" things actually approached the charred degree of my feeling--and I don't even want real revenge, because I don't do that--and then they're all "Come on, you don't really want to do that, do you?  Breathe in and out, baby!  Everything's going to be fine!"

One minute it asks me openly to confide in it, and the next minute it undermines my feelings.  I don't put up with that from human beings, and I definitely won't accept that shit from an idiot piece of code.

EDIT: I had a PTSD attack today that lost me an hour of productivity.  I was hoping the thing would help.

[Gamerlord]

Eh, different people, different emotions. My main emotion when I get upset is rage, mostly because thats what I trained myself to feel throughout my childhood.

[Neonivek]

Anyhow Vector I wouldn't really get that insulted by that thing.

The secret Vector is that it is just one big misdirection. It is trying to make you calm down mostly by lengthening things out and making you breathe. As well as interrupting your thinking processes to jar you into complying unwittingly.

It is insulting because it is patronizing, it only works by your willingness to go over the material and it is built for the lowest common denominator.

As well it is clearly written in meditative language, which always makes me unstable because I've been programmed to pick that out of what people are saying and filter it out or ignore it altogether. Which is why "I" dislike it greatly, since I consider that subversive.

[Vector]

Yeah, I'm just taking the opportunity to vent at something I can't hurt.  I'm not actually that mad now.
