there’s a beauty to AI “art” in that the people who can’t understand art has meaning are building a future for themselves where they mostly inhale endless “art” devoid of meaning

can’t think of a more fitting self inflicted punishment

I don't care about objectivity and have never once advocated for reviewers being "objective" lol

"it is impossible to have more than one.."

"It is possible to have no more than one..."

Going with the second just seems insane to me lol

there's no way this is what they meant to write, right? "It is possible to have [only one]" what are we doing?

Critical Error will not have a review of Pokemon Legends Z-A today as we have been blacklisted from the pre-release media list ever since The Charizard Incident

I might like your joke better lol

It's interesting to me that your main points of criticism are

1. I am arguing that criticism is exacting rather than open to whatever anyone wants it to be and

2. something about my tone.

The CRITICAL ERROR podcast takes aim at the phrase "not for me," this week!

An extended discussion on the point of criticism, your imagined audience member, and how meaning is sussed out from any text.

i kinda dig this. 12 characters, no fuss. No huge expectations.

If they can launch at a competitive price point that would be huge

Been really loving this show lately, and this episode speaks to a lot of thoughts I have on the current critical landscape, people feeling like they need to appease their audiences, etc. Big ol' recommendation. It's... For Me

the latest CRITICAL ERROR podcast is about what video game reviews are/aren't

but tbh this week's episode is not for me: youtu.be/u8ysh5lKZOg?...

Jake has a written piece at the end of the show that ruined me. The sad, inexorable tethering we’ve made of loneliness and principles in games media is, well, sad.

It’s exhausting to care. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.
