i liked it a fair amount because i just had fun w it. i thought zeno was waaaay weaker in its ideas but ultimately still a fun experience, so i completely get criticism of maduzu’s writing but i just.. really can’t understand it here. shtdn is just a nice, silly, atmospheric piece of media in which the two main characters and the computer they live in are generally emblematic of humanity in a way that sure, isn’t particularily deep, but i found it touching and sweet. agape and goyou are cute. love wins!!
