when people say movies are "too long" or that games "waste their time", I feel like that's rarely identifying the actual problem

if you instead enjoyed that time, would you still say it's "too long"?

I think it's a lot more interesting to examine why those sections of time aren't valuable to you

Every so often I think "I should load up Final Fantasy XV again." I, of course, rid myself of this notion immediately because who has the time, but goddamn... the vibes in that game were so good. Except when they were awful

i gotta stop watching random youtube reviews of games. the hit rate of a recommendation being actually good is so low im just getting mad every time i click on something and have to hear about how this rando considers a game hugely flawed because it isn't a smooth, frictionless experience

oh god. yeah, we did not make this. please report this

or, well, put a better way: we did, because the app is just a very bad, semi-functional port of the demo's arcade mode

behold original game do not steal:

been thinking about this lou reed interview again recently
i’ve been watching old lou reed interviews and i’m obsessed with this 50 year old interview and his response to being asked if he identifies as a transvestite or homosexual

im convinced that a lot of modern gamers dont even really like games, they just like "progression" and would rather have a product that gives them a bunch of little treats on a timer than have to actually play something

most people think the proper way to watch skinamarink is to simply watch it.

no.

the proper way to watch skinamarink is with me next to you in your peripheral vision, intently staring at you to make sure you're paying attention, and then afterwards you listen to me explain why it was good.

hey did you know that if you play and finish unbeatable you get to be AND YOU in the credits

it could be you!! and you could be you. you should be and you.

like i'm just saying. it's an incredible experience and if you love music and art and stuff it's gonna destroy you in a positive way.
