Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I think the last time I felt so tired in my entire life is when i was finishing my thesis 060
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Two written tests and one interview in the next 10 days…. Guys I might die when will it end 070
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 16/09/2026what if i wanted to play black mage but the game said it's a peeepee poopoo class without a team that bursts with you 060
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I have 25 more books to read until the 6th of october and this is my coping mechanism 040
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 15/09/2026She'd unhinge her jaw and swallow him whole like a boa constrictor like. That's a romantically inexperienced man meeting an Apex Predator halone help his soul 020

Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Twin I unironically think we would make bank twitch streaming together as long as we manage to avoid cancellation 110
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Frankfurt School of thought vindicated once again. Who would have thought that a bunch of german guys writing about culture and capital during the rise of nazi germany would have surprisingly prescient takes for the technofascist political swing of the 2020s 040
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Good end: I get into this program and become a digital hermit and you don’t have to hear about my opinions ever again Bad end: I don’t get into this program and I become a youtube video essayist with 200 views and no adsense 170
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Pursuing realism is a game of diminishing returns with a defined ceiling, which is reality itself. Once that plateau is reached and its novelty wears off, things start to pivot to abstraction or hyperreality 070
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I’ve been reading too much critical theory recently I need to relate it to some stupid social media discourse for my own enrichment, or else all the adorno and horkheimer are gonna drive me insane. Anyway the nvidia dlss5 thing is making every game look like tung tung sahur 290
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026(I don’t think academics should dictate culture, or that critics/curators should be the sole custodians of taste, I just lament that games are too young to have a robust enough field of cultural analysis to help the medium realize its expressive potential) 070
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026"What about indies" indies were always much closer to traditional art practices due to their independent and highly authorial nature (individuals or small collectives). Their increasing cultural relevance is a reflection of this same audience fatigue around mainstream aesthetic and market trends 180
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Whatever cultural critique we get will be a post-facto analysis on market trends, rather than an a priori effort guiding its course. What I think will happen is that AAA will continue to lose relevance as its defining cornerstones are mostly technical/aesthetic, rather than its formal elements 140
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026There is no game equivalent of the critic-gallery-artist institutional art complex, and whatever little academic and formal critique there is does not meaningfully interface with the institutions that hold symbolic power and the means of production/distribution within the industry 140
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026This will never happen however because the astronomical financial and technical cost of entry+development for games, coupled with its overt function as entertainment rather than experience, means it is a "mass media" consumer product first and foremost. A fact somewhat necessitated by its own nature 140
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Undergoing a process of self interrogation around the purpose of art and figuration similar to 20th century art movements with the advent of photography, and latter postmodern critique with the rise of mass media, reality, hyperreality, and the ubiquity of image reproduction 140
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026The one (unlikely) good outcome from this DLSS5 AI filter thing would be for games to shed their technical fetishism and mature as an artform as the aesthetics of “photorealism” are increasingly decoupled from skill and craftsmanship and are, thus, made obsolete by their own banality 1214
Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I’m crossposting an autistic ramble from my priv to here I’m sorry in advance 040

Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I just can’t wait for postgrad application megaseason to be over so I can catch up on art and other work I’m so so tired 140

Thais @coerthas.bsky.social · 11/08/2026One of the books I need to study has been out of print for two decades, costs R$300 on the resale market, is not available in any local library databases, and the only PDF I can find of it is a blurry, poor quality scan on the internet archivestatic.klipy.comPou and the Hanging NooseALT: Pou and the Hanging Noose 140
