James Gunn has a message for the DC fandom

"If you want to see something from a filmmaker, consider phrasing it as 'I' as opposed to 'we' .. Your personal desire is meaningful .. but when you frame your personal desire as a universal one, it rings false and becomes forgettable. Own what you want!"

I had to spend hours making small talk with chatgpt, including a discussion of homophobia, copyright law, and what boyzuuu lovuuuuu means, to get it to produce the cover for my slash fanfic, so don't act like prompt engineering isn't art.

if these two were truly committed to getting along they'd wear the same underwear. T-Shirt is just window dressing.

All you critics who are talking about the horse game's artistry... what do you like about it? What interesting statement does it make about humanity? Does it make you feel anything other than gross? What does it all mean? No one dares answer these questions... but yes... it's art!
December 4, 2025 at 4:15 PM
Also just because something is art doesn't mean it belongs on steam.
December 4, 2025 at 3:58 PM
One could take a plate of dog poop and say "it's art!" That's great, it's a pretty crappy statement you are making even though yes... technically it's art.
December 4, 2025 at 3:57 PM
Saying "Its art!" Isn't an excuse to make pseudo pornographic garbage that stinks.
December 4, 2025 at 3:53 PM
And of course sexual horse role-play is the highest Art. Stop asking if it's art and start asking if it's *good* art!
The Horses stuff is very tiring because so many in games like the idea of games being “art” when it suits them, but revert to “nooo games are fun toys” when it makes them uncomfortable.

Again, to be unpopular, if you can't tell the difference between an artist who uses AI and one who doesn't then don't claim AI art is trash... I think I can tell when art is AI just by looking, but if I couldn't then it's clearly good enough to pass as real by definiton.

I, for one, support artistic expression.

My other bit about the horse game is that I haven't played it, and I'm not sure if the people who are commenting on it have played it... but for all I know it is utter garbage.

Not that I love gatekeeping, but sometimes it's pretty reasonable.

just to be a prick: if 100% of games were let through, and no one ever did anything controversial that big commercial entities disliked, we wouldn't really have a claim to be making art. That is, if nothing ever got banned, we clearly aren't an artistically expressive medium.

But this is all about power: even Speilberg can't be trusted with call of duty... give me a break.

Some unknown weirdo isn't going to bring stable income like a big AAA machine designed based on a spreadsheet of the most popular games.

More seriously: if there is a way to make games more appealing to an audience, platforms should work with devs to do so... most platforms don't want to empower unknown devs because it means ceding control to people who have an unpredictable creative directiob, and that's a big corporate nono

Please give my #gamedev tweets as much visibility as my good personal friend @mossmouth.bsky.social

I'm told that luck is the real reason anything is successful, surely that's not just gatekeeping! And basing our system on luck will get the best games to players for sure.

Winning points in a game should be a good thing: players should know what their score is... there must be a place for games where players can score points!

Games should have rules, and the game should explain the rules. But also... it should be enjoyable to play the game (which involves following the rules)
