like people try to dunk on nicholas cage for ridiculous shit he wears but you and I would also wear whatever the fuck we wanted if we never had to think about money again. It's the guys who wear graphic tees under sports jackets that are doing 9/11 to minorities in their heads

the intention behind art is supposed to make you feel SOMETHING and that SOMETHING is not always meant to be PLEASANT 🫵 we have a vast, endless, fluxing range of emotions. You are supoosed to use them ALL 🫵🫵🫵

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

kayinnasaki written about this before but whatever. Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia. When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff. People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that? I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think. I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy. Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things. #this post is 11 years old and still holds true

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

Paul Ifeanyichukwu Gabriel @ @...•2h Can you explain to me like a 5 yrs old ? Nikita Bier @nikitabier • 2h Every video game -- and every piece of software -- will be personalized exactly to your preferences.
