AWE posting 2.11.

About ready to start making didactic fight-picking posts about how people need to stop calling various characters in AW2 Sam Lake's self-inserts and basing all of their readings on that.
Like not only do I care very little for the internal life of a single developer on this game, lead writer or no, but also there's literally a character called Sam Lake in the game. Like there's a very clear easily parseable autofictional explanation here, but b/c he's the least interesting of the potential self-inserts, nobody talks about that one.

I've only had to block one person for leaving tags that I found profoundly inappropriate on a post about Zane, and that's as far as it spread. I think with Sam putting himself in the game so much and being so game doing Actor Press along with Writer Press and Remedy Mascot Press has really clarified for people that he is up to his old antics again, and the levels of the meta go deeper than we think.
