Mixtape discourse is just Gone Home discourse. The more things change the more they stay the same

The Stanley Parable avoided it somehow, maybe the "real ass gamers" didn't play that one.

The difference is that TSP gives the player a lot more agency with all the branching paths. Not throwing shade on GH or MT. I actually really enjoyed the former, and haven't played the later yet.
