Did everyone read The Myth of Sisyphus recently? Feel like I've been seeing this pretty obscure quote referenced a -lot-, what the heck happened (awesome tho, it's an amazing book. Just curious how it got in the cultural consciousness...)
Someone made a streamer-bait frustration game where you played as Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a hill with increasingly difficult obstacles. Was very popular a few months back. Kind of like Only Up but with boulder pushing.
The quote was also used in a fast paced first person movement shooter called Ultrakill, as one of the bosses is Sisyphus. His in game description had the quote at the very end so it quickly spread among the community. So it may have also had an influence.
