I started reading the Discworld novels in high school in the early 2000s. I definitely felt a change in the writing around Going Postal. The novels were no longer creative chaos the way the were in the 90s. Less plot threats running in parallel, less chaotic stuff happening. But the transition seemed to me so gradual that I wouldn't have made the connection to Pterry's state of mind. It seemed more like he was changing as a writer.

Outer Wilds. A game that genuinely made me reflect on my place in the universe.
