I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

For your consideration: RPGs as fanfiction generators for their source materials. Even the rules themselves are part of the text that get referenced and rewritten.

When I was sick one time my comet partner said how glad she was that my local partner was there to take care of me. It was a wonderful expression of our interconnected lives

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

I remember hearing a quote about if you want to play music like Miles Davis, don’t listen to Miles Davis. Listen to what Miles Davis listened to.

One of the sad things about the death of writing is that we are going to be taking life advice primarily from visually attractive people now who don’t know shit. ideally you want the world filtered through awkward homunculi filled with rage who know the plural of homunculus

The irony of living in the “richest” country in the world and the most advanced technological times and still have unhoused people, no universal health care and any kind of unmet social need is infuriating

I’ve never seen this Harryhausen quote about why stop motion animation is its own aesthetic form & trying to make it feel like smooth live-action is a category error. ❤️

As Harryhausen summed it up in 1981:

To me, the ultimate aim in making our films has never been the smoothing out of stop-motion animation. To try to duplicate live action in every way seems to me like asking a painter to paint a landscape so it will appear like a photograph. Our pictures are more of a surrealistic experience rather than an excursion into technical perfection. I’m certain technical perfection has its place and its advantages, but could you really make a sequence such as the skeleton swordfight in Jason and the Argonauts … with a computer?

If you want to make *your own game* you have to have a viewpoint and the broader experience of the world. Otherwise you will only ever be a cog in the game industry

Have a broad set of interests and a curiosity about how the world works. If your only interest is games you can only recreate existing games. Which I guess was fine for video games for a while, but you will only ever work on other people’s games.
