But a video game is a whole. It’s surely made of many many small parts, that are artistic in their own right. But only the finished, whole, piece is the art.
And being more or less commercial isn’t what makes art art.
Art is the way to communicate an abstraction, and transport the viewer to it. It’s an exercise in empathy, of the artist to communicate it and the audience to experience it.
New research says birds have grammar and you’re still talking like it’s the 20th century. Get on with the times! Many animals are practically identical to us in capability. We’re just better at some of the stuff we all can do.
After all this shit is over, the America I want to remember (as a non-American), is the America of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, of Albert Einstein, WEB Du Bois, of John Brown, of Tupac, of the creation and heights of new arts and sciences. For being the first truly fully modern nation on earth. Where the ideals of the new age first became law. For fighting for freedom and the wellbeing of every individual.
But when Trump was first elected, I remember feeling “damn he is the most American guy ever huh”. And he is. He’s a grifter and a scammer, a heir failson who fell upwards in life due to his evilness. And that’s America as well. It’s also Rockefeller, Carnagie, Mellon, Morgan all the robber barons, Joseph Smith, Roy Cohn, Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lanski, the Dulles brothers. Of eugenics and “enhanced interrogations”. Of forced sterilizations and experiments on unwilling subjects.
America was founded on genocide, conquest and slavery. And it rewarded the people that most embodied the ideals necessary for that up until this day.
The world can only be free when the empire falls, and America is returned to the natives and reparations are made to all descendants of enslaved people. When we all face the reality that no nation can exist founded on the principles of white supremacy and simply “reform”.
But after that, I’ll remember America for all the good that it was. Not for being the most evil nation on earth. I hope.
Ah so China is better than the US in every way, even in hiding its prolific pedo networks..? The CIA never uncovered any of it? And used it against them? Where’s your evidence?
You say that with no evidence of anything. Dude do you actually think Russia is more advanced than the US in its intelligence? Do you think Putin would be able to hide a network like this from the CIA, who wouldn’t use it against him? You’re just pulling stuff out of your ass, motivated entirely by russiophobia.
They did not. Where in the files does it say that? There are emails from Epstein celebrating Castro had died because “maybe they could finally start operating in Cuba”…
You’re just saying shit, we have evidence of a wide network in western capitalist nations, and 0 evidence for the same in China or Cuba.
The files do mention Putin, as being a deterrent to their operations in Russia. And they hated Xi and Castro. Seems like SOME leaders and powerful people are not sex trafficking pedos 🤷♂️
I think we just have very different ideas of what makes a game a “completely different game”. It seems to you all remasters are completely different games, and I just wholeheartedly disagree.
I wasn’t really around back then to know if people genuinely thought it was cool. From what I understand only people who were brand new to comics liked him. People who were comic fans hated him from the start. But again, I wasn’t there.
