what would it mean that the soviets had perfected this video-game-thing by 1990, in a game with midi-music?
a game that, no matter how many hours or months you dedicated, you could never win? A game where you can only enjoy yourself as you temporarily put off your ineluctable and total loss?
we had the whole thing figured out. a game that was unwinnable was itself our final win. we had reached nirvana by 1990.
almost everything since has been some attempt to convince ourselves otherwise
