  • Realistically? I’m a dragon who hoards old cables (I’ve become my dad 😭), pieces of art from my friends, animal bones and teeth, and cassette tapes. A very eclectic hoard if I do say so myself

  • I love your art style. Something about it scratches an itch in my brain lol.

  • Like almost everybody else - Reddit is just too awful to make excuses for even if you want to.

    It’s the same content posted over and over and over with people acting like it’s new each time (probably bots). It’s mindless or disingenuous content posted to evoke emotional responses. It’s everything you’ve ever commented or posted being used to train some corporate slop machine. It’s just… awful. I like the format (of old Reddit), so here I am!

    'It can be unnecessary - and even too much': Are violent video games like Grand Theft Auto 6 becoming too realistic?

  • I don't really like the vibe of this article, mainly because it feels (to me at least) motivated by modern neo-puritanical thinking.

    Having said that, I do resonate with some of what it's saying. In recent years with those bodycam-FPS games specifically, I've found myself disturbed by the fidelity of violence, at times. I grew up playing shooters like Titanfall, Halo 3, Battlefield 4 - realistic in their own right, but no matter how often the adults in my life would tell me that they were too violent, they were always cartoonish and comfortably distanced from reality in my mind.

    We are now hitting the era where photoreal gameplay is becoming feasible, and I don't think I'm comfortable engaging with violence on that graphical level, at least not for mindless entertainment. That's just my personal preference, and I understand others can choose what they're comfortable with. I do however think that we're gonna be seeing a lot more crackdowns and censorship in gaming in the near future - I think that's already started with adult/sexual indie games being banned from sites like itch.io, and I wouldn't be surprised if anything labeled "violent" will be the next target.

  • My favorite way of taking cat pictures is with an old 2007 Sony digicam

  • That's definitely part of it. I think I also like to consider my pictures as representations of memories/moments, instead of chasing the fidelity to make them as close to reality as possible. My photos don't need to look 1:1 to real life - because they aren't real life!

  • Maybe it’s weird of me, but I think most photos look better with older digital cameras. I don’t need my home pictures looking 4k-crisp personally
