all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

There's deeply meaningful art that connects me to others and/or myself, but the point of art is that it doesn't have to serve a functional purpose. Really cool chairs can be art! Really cool is entirely subjective. Which is also the point.

I'm so dumb on this front. Whatever serves a primarily aesthetic purpose is art. Video games are art, obviously. The stupidest shit on the planet is art, by definition. You won't elevate something by calling it art. The point of art is frivolity.

It's why I never understood the argument that video games couldn't be considered art: for me, being capable of bringing forth that feeling of the sublime is what art

Cyberpunk may have its flaws - fewer, by far, these days - but it made me feel a feel. I felt a feel at the beginning, I felt a different feel at the ending, I felt other, still different feels in the middle.

If the game makes you feel a feeling, honestly, you can overlook most of the rest.
