Tamagotchi Reset is kind of like this amalgam of a Bill Wurtz video, a lecture, an argument, and some very interesting (albeit obscure) historical storytelling. The writing shines in this piece, and the Blue Room, the sound, the lighting; these all help to make sure that what is said gets through to the audience.
