The four game styles it has borrowed were actually licensed from the original devs.

Yes but not literally taste. Just think about the taste. Just like when I picture something I don’t literally see it, I think about how it looks. It’s not a hallucination. Although… I can make myself hallucinate too, but that is completely different than imagining.

With the apple I just thought about what it would be like to be eating one with my eyes closed.

This exercise is a bit easier to do with an Apple. Think about the taste, the feel, the texture but get the image and language out of your head. Can you do it?

Imagine is the wrong word because image and picture are basically synonymous. So I mean “think about” without picturing or using language. The easiest way was thinking about the smell or sound of the fox. But thinking about the “idea” of fox but not the look of a fox or using language is hard!

The USA has no legal concept of moral rights of the artist. And in Europe, where they do, it is not legally possible to waive them. So this part in a US contract seems legally nonsensical, the concept has no bearing on US law at all.

The weirdest part is there’s no such thing as “moral rights” of the artist in the US, it’s just a Europe thing, and in Europe it’s not legally possible to waive them. So that part of the contract is nonsensical.

Try to imagine something, without picturing it OR thinking of the word. Can you do it? I’m trying to do it with a fox. It’s really hard.

I might've seen it before the Flemming acquired it. But maybe I'll ask for a viewing sometime.

There's only one person in the world who has listened to my song Eggs on Spotify in the last month. They live in Walsrode, Germany and they've listened to it 3 times. open.spotify.com/track/65MwbT...

I’d say that the Mad Dogs come from a place of joy. I see them as pure “artistic energy”

This new album is absolutely amazing. I think my song writing ability is finally up there with my graphic novel ability. I had a few early flukes but now I’m absolutely killing it.
