So I haven't played this yet but I just gotta say that reading the rules site (oh god I made/saved sooo many of those anime-style website layouts and graphics hahahaha :'D) finally got me off my ass to try and get access back to my old Livejournal account from 2007-09, and today it finally worked!!! Three years of rambling and raving and fanfics I'd totally forgotten ever made its way off my hard drive at all: archived!!!!
And I got all the way until the excitedly-written Gabe/Tycho from Penny Arcade slash fanfiction (completed with many XD emoticons over how very ~cracky~ I was being) before I properly cringed!! But it's still worth it!!! I believe!!!! OTL
I think Un-navigatable mourns the loss of those memories for the same reason you might want to hide them. Every inch of this game is about acknowledging the rawest, most sincere interests and emotions of your youth, unfiltered and awkward though they may be. It wants you to celebrate the person you used to be, because that’s the person that made you you.
I'm interested in playing this but I don't really have access to a tumbling block tower (and wouldn't have any use for one after playing); do you have any recommendations for alternative methods?
This was really cathartic. I didn't have a blog during my prime cringe teen years, but I think feeling embarrassed by your younger self is universal. It was nice to see the layers, the younger self wrapped up in the moment, and the older self who feels compassion for their younger self and wants to save a record of who they used to be.

I look forward to playing this, I noticed you named it un-navigatable. Was there a reason you named it that instead of ‘unnavigable’?
it came from this quote on Wikipedia!
