i don't know why it still surprises me a decade in to my career as a video game writer but it truly is utterly impossible to get anyone to read something. if you have a task that requires reading anything longer than a powerpoint slide, just forget about it

maybe i'm naïvely optimistic about how people should talk to eachother but i always see folks on here baring fangs 24/7 through any interaction and idk, it must get tiring after a while. what a way to live

mara @maraganger.bsky.social · 14h

the tendency of folks being "playfully rude" on strangers' posts feels so weird to me. like in no way does it make you funny, it just makes you look like a dick that should be avoided

hathaway's realization in that scene, that people can't all have lofty goals and instead focus on surviving day-by-day was so good !!

I remember Mara saying "kill the cop in your head" and that rewrote how I feel about all art I saw going forward. Regardless of whether I vibe with a piece of art, all art deserves to exist, and folks should be able to make whatever they want

Casey Lucas @bimbo.phd · Jan 16

Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist

shaydh 🩸FLEDGLING MANOR OUT NOW🩸 @shaydh.bsky.social · Jan 16

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

yeah they rely so much on the idea that it's a "performance to be seen" that it feels weird to see modern movie musicals just be like "movie but there's songs". you can tell there's something lacking

mara @maraganger.bsky.social · 1d

imo that's a big reason why i was turned off by musicals for the longest time. movie musicals kinda suck ass while theater performances are a lot more inviting to the genre

Rust goddess crucifixion scene. I wanted to play with a live action element for a more ambitious scene I have in mind

the funny thing is that i used to be genuinely afraid that people wouldn't care about what ihave to say if i switched from "videos about video games exclusively" to "videos about whatever i like tangentially connected"
