Hello Rand,
Real quick I want to say thank you very very much for all the love/work you put into MYST/Riven.
Words cannot fully describe accurately, all the funny little ways MYST and Riven have influenced my life.
I discovered the games at an early age, and continue to notice their influence even today.
In many ways, I find myself visiting MYST often.
Not necessarily playing the game, but more like visiting in spirit.
It's a feeling that I can only describe as the feeling one gets from simple things, MYST things.
Every-time a door unlocked and opened; the clicks and clacks of the metal tumbler, or climbing a ladder, starting a car, or heck, even the simple act of turning a valve. The excitement you get in your gut sometimes when you are walking alone, or being in someplace you probably shouldn't be.
I guess what I'm getting at is... to me, MYST is a way of living. It is an unquenchable thirst for discovery and exploration, a way viewing the world in detail and finding joy in simple (often overlooked) things.
If I could ask a question, for Rand, and other Redditors,
it would be:
"Do you also find yourself living in MYST?"
Thank you very much for taking the effort to do this AMA, it has been a blast reading the responses so far. :)
