At risk of flogging a dead horse: this whole letter is a reminder that the creative process is an end in and of itself, and vital to self-actualisation. You can’t experience BECOMING, as he puts it, by outsourcing it to ChatGPT.
In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

The Game Awards Future Class was clearly created to diversify the homogenous space that is the video game industry. But what happens when you only make superficial efforts to be inclusive, or when diversity is no longer in vogue and a chunk of your consumer base rails against it?
Well…this.
Well…this.
Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship.
Thanks to all who spoke with me, and always, to Keza for the chance to do important work!

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees

I absolutely adored Lumines Arise in every way. But it’s hard to put into words why I love it so much, or what it’s like to even play - i liken it to finding that one painting at the art musuem that your just inexplicably drawn to. It pulls you in and makes you cry. www.inverse.com/gaming/lumin...
'Lumines Arise' Review: A 10/10 Masterpiece And A Puzzle Game Epiphany
'Lumines Arise' is a stunning puzzle game that genuinely transcends the bounds of what most other games can only dream of doing.

the situation art criticism faces in the english language is more or less analogous to fandom starting a fork of wikipedia & then nearly all pop history anyone ever encounters being sourced directly from Fandom Wikipedia & Fandom Wikipedia increasingly citing those historians in an incest loop

i remember when talking about eating insects somehow became a leftist outrage point, with the idea that it was being propagated by capital mouthpieces to precondition food austerity
i'm convinced if we ever tried to touch the rail of meat politics in America (something that's going to eventually need to happen in order to reduce CO2 emissions), it would lead to a huge right-wing shock
remembering the time a random catholic priest got mad at me about a hypothetical about the government restricting meat production on the other site
meat politics is going to be insane for the next Dem administration which takes climate change seriously, imo

Apparently a lot of people online think games aren't as fun anymore, but that could not be farther from the truth. There's more great games than ever now, so where is this coming from? As always, the culprit is capitalism.
