To accept and use this AI tech is to say I myself am so deeply incompetent and mediocre that a useless machine which cannot actually do the required work is still better than any effort I can make.
Seriously. Just stop.

In an ideal world Tetsuya Nomura is the *least* self-indulgent and maximalist auteur in the space. I feel like very few people understand how to process art or engage with a work beyond being a mute passenger who sighs in exasperation when they aren't waited on hand and foot.

honestly it's so cool that there are so many old games for various consoles that you can just play for free on your computer right now. sometimes a game that's never been in your language will get translated, and you can play that translated version, on the computer!

It gets exhausting watching people race to find the worst takes from the most hateful people about things they ostensibly like. I want to see your genuine feelings about something, don't hide your excitement or disappointment behind screenshots of the most obnoxious bigot you could find crashing out
I don't know, man. I'm broadly out of touch with considering the "fanbase" of anything when evaluating a work anymore. I'm sure you can find a collective of fans for anything who are annoying or awful, but they're not in the room with me and I'm not going to go looking for them.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

the rlly tough part about trying to develop a skill as an adult who is already pretty damn good at a few specific things is fighting back the overwhelming feeling of "this isnt going as well as that other stuff does, so im probably just not cut out for it"

Bigger Luke Theory is the perfect satire of "fan theories" existing divorced from textual analysis because it uses all the tools of treating the fiction at face value as a real thing that happened, to reach a conclusion that makes absolutely no fucking sense in any interpretation of the story
