    I actually didn’t have any leads on what it was going to be like at all. I just decided a few days ago that I wanted to watch lain for some reason and started watching it. It wasn’t until the third episode until I switched to a crt because I felt like the picture was too clean on a flat screen tv. The closest thing I’ve experienced in regards to pieces coming together to form a narrative is outer wilds, but even that manages to get the player emotionally invested in the story better than lain.

    I actually really liked lain and thought it was gonna be my new favorite anime until I got to episode 5, my comprehension went downhill from there. I enjoyed the surreal visuals and sound too but without a coherent plot to follow I just couldn’t be bothered to keep watching.

    I’ve dealt with depression before, I guess it’s the same way Dostoevsky doesn’t feel the same when I’m reading it with a completely lucid lense. I also take pride in understanding things others don’t, so that’s part of the reason why I don’t like that I don’t understand it. So far as the monitor goes, my mom gave me her old PC she used to use back in, iirc, the 90’s. I do have a matching keyboard for it, but she lost the mouse, I just hooked up the monitor to modern PC cuz I read it was the best way to watch it, along with a low quality recording of the show itself.

    It’s factorio, a game where the goal is take raw materials from a planet you crash landed on and eventually process them into parts to build a rocket off the planet. There are a lot of intermediate steps to get there of course, and while it is possible to craft straight out of the inventory, automation is practically required in order to actually process everything required in your lifetime.
