I think about this all the time

Applies readily to games too.
It would be so much easier for devs if gamers simply had opinions. Instead we have armchair pros who've never touched gamedev supposing that they know more about what a game needs and how it should be made.

people will tell you it’s complicated but it’s really not

A photo from behind the scenes on filming Revenge of the Sith. Against a bluescreen backdrop, George Lucas snarls and raises his hands to the sky, as Ian McDiarmid in full costume as Palpatine, does similarly in the background.

can't believe we're really getting the taxation of trade routes being in dispute *and* a blockade of deadly battleships

"mid" being coined as "bad" has lobotomized so many people

The point of consoles is to serve as cheap and simple alternatives to gaming PCs.

If they can't do that, then they can't serve their customer base.

And because I've seen the comparison: This is not an H.P. Lovecraft situation of "separate the art from the artist."

Lovecraft is a century dead. He's not alive right now, trying to suppress records of his yacht visiting Epstein Island and swearing to make the lives of millions of ppl unlivable.

May he rot in hell

You know what tho

Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas? People will be like "this movie is evil and gross because it depicts a predatory relationship" and then you watch the movie in question and it's about how preying on young women is bad and impacts their lives negatively. "Why would they do this instead of just making everyone in the movie nice and normal and good" so we would have this conversation...

Exiting my deepest depression episode in years only to be smacked upside the head with the illiterate. This post by strawberrysdaughters on Tumblr keeps being relevant to my struggle as a writer on Webtoon LOLLL

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunity—you are appreciated more than words can express!!!

Treated myself to an Allie doodle

the more genAI is pushed on us the more I fall in love with that rough, less polished, more obviously painted, sketchy, messy, charcoal-stained type of art that just screams with every brush and penstroke that human hands have touched it.

No lie I feel like a ton of people come in with this mentality.

Al supporters by and large are people who look at all the things surrounding us in life and never once think "this is someone's job, someone had to create this" and because it's beneath their notice they can't conceive of anyone enjoying it as a job or deserving pay for it.
