So for those who do not know, I'm a player of Playstation Home and untill recently a favorite activity of mine was glitching. By glitching you could see behind the seens so to speak of the areas you were visiting. You could climb up on the rails in the mall, or pretend to tend bar in the Uncharted Space. But today saw the release of a new version of Home where all the glitches have been fixed and now no one can glitch.
B glitching we were going beyond boundaries and seeing what the developers didn't want us to see. We saw new things, secret things, sometimes a hidden message, or an easter egg, sometimes it was just getting to the top of a really noisy area and finding it peacful. A great way to make new friends and see sights of Home.
A lot of folk are glad the glitches and glitchers are gone because they never learned to glith or saw the point so now we're all the same once more. But for those of us who did glitch, who saw some nice things and had good memories of it, Home seems much smaller now. A little darker. It feels like the exploration has been taken out.
It promted me to write this short little poem describing my feelings about glitching and how I feel now that it is gone. I miss it and I'm going to miss it for a long time.
