It makes a lot of sense that you, too, love video-game guides, since I saw [community profile] replay_value on your list of followed comms.

(I have read a fair bit of Replay Value fic despite never actually having read Homestuck, because [tumblr.com profile] itsbenedict linked the Sburb Glitch FAQ once and it looked fascinating.)

(Which I suppose is particularly fitting, given that the *reason* I originally bounced off of Homestuck is because I couldn't figure out how to *work* the thing. There was a point very early on--first scene? second?--where I was clearly supposed to *do* something to cause the animation to advance, and I could not figure out what.)

I think I know that feel. Nethack cravings often manifest for me as a *desire to read Nethack guides*, with the actual gameplay kind of coming along as a side effect.

And even when it doesn't go *that* far, I do find that reading guides is an integral part of the joy of video-game playing.
