Despite what the attempts at Markdown tell you, there's no need to convert before reading into .rtf

This file is a tribute to everything I've done since I was a kid. Like everything I make, it's very train-of-thought. I'm an archivist, after all.

Reading this gave me the same "completely-lost-in-a-dream-of-wordsmell" feeling that I get when trying to read James Joyce. Much like Joyce, it's filled with inscrutable references and allusions that probably only make sense to the author. I still have no idea what happened but it was definitely a unique experience.

I'm hesitant to give much feedback on this because it feels like it's speaking to an experience very different from my own in a personal way. I don't feel like I understood it, which was sometimes frustrating, but it also seems like something that isn't meant for me to understand, and I think it's cool that you're taking such an adventurous approach to the format.

I will say that one thing I really appreciated was the ambiguity of what type of thing is being described. The way it fluidly shifted between feeling like a description of a video game, a chatroom, or even something literary with the extensive descriptions of characters, was a key part of making it feel dreamlike.

And one part which particularly resonated with me was the latter part of the description of the Endless Field. My most vividly remembered dreams have involved discovering new locations branching off from ones I'm familiar with, and the Endless Field reminded me of that.

I thought it was interesting that the author couldn't quite make up their mind on how to describe the game or how to write about it. This combined with very disparate details and characters had a sort of disorienting stream-of-consciousness effect which it felt like was what you were going for.
