Actually @benstiller.redhour.com have you played the game Mouthwashing? I think you (and Dan Erickson!) would find it pretty interesting. Don’t worry if you’re not a video game person, it’s mostly a narrative experience. store.steampowered.com/app/2475490/... - ThreadSky

I love this era of Ben Stiller, the directing in this season…I’m living.

The game Cruelty Squad is more mechanically complicated—it’s a technical shooter game with basically no tutorial and I’m awful at it—but it has an aesthetic and narrative sense I find really appealing and also disgusting. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1388770/Cruelty_Squad/

Outer Wilds is a series of very difficult puzzles but there’s a similar narrative throughline here about life and death and authority that reminds me of Severance. https://store.steampowered.com/app/753640/Outer_Wilds/

Of course, if you have the time @benstiller.redhour.com you should give Dark Souls a shot. It is quite difficult but it’s more that the game asks you for persistence. A very unique experience, imo clearly a narrative about living in a dying world https://store.steampowered.com/app/570940/DARK_SOULS_REMASTERED/

God you're so right for this

I agree Ben I do think that the game Mouthwashing would be appealing to you

xoxogossipgita.bsky.social•16 days ago

I really think he’d find it thought provoking

Honestly I was thinking Ben Stiller would make a great Control movie or TV show and honestly the same can be said for Mouthwashing! Like my old dreams of Wes Craven making a Silent Hill movie

I think the liminal space, temporal, emotional, cognitive, is in the same area
