The absurdly serious ending claims that “the 1980gamer” may never game again because of this “dastardly conundrum,” while Stars of the Lid’s slow ambient music makes the trivial hardware confusion feel like a tragic, cinematic crisis. It works as a reaction to an unnecessarily dramatic technical problem or gaming mishap.
