I get the criticism that its only enjoyable if ur a gamer or make games, but that feels like a stupid approach lol like yeah i didnt get every  minor reference to game design but i enjoyed the book and i enjoyed the description of the games (even though i literally never game) and i enjoyed the characters and also i cried so

This book took me forever to get through. Most of the time I was bored or annoyed with the characters. There is a lot of violence and abuse that doesn’t seem to have a true purpose. The book felt like it was trying to be progressive given that it takes place in the early 1990s, but then had one of the main female characters in love and obsessed with a creepy, older, abusive, pos man. Not for me. 🤷🏽‍♀️

The problem is the whole thing was so damned SLOW! I know it is the story of the character's lives but damn. I think it was also hard because I listened to it as an audiobook - there were flashbacks and time skips that were hard to grasp. And maybe there's something there about it being a book about making games AND relationships...it was far more about the relationships and the games were a veneer and I get that is needed to make the relationship narrative work, but I was disappointed.
