I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

"oxford commas are a sign you write with ai," "em dashes are a sign you right with ai"

I AM TAPPING THE SIGN, WHERE DO YOU THINK THE AI LEARNED HOW TO DO THAT SHIT? spoilers!! it's from real people that use those things! like can we all please use our brains here

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."

“Loving a person is like art; it’s in the details.”

I feel as of late i've been really anti-quantification... the push for wishlists, streams, subscribers, steam reviews, or like, having numbers in game design and how almost always serves to drive addiction and retention. in 2025 we need to fight Numbers!! .. say no to numberism and quantification

Anyway we have to find a way to keep making the art we want to make, and trying to get it to people, but with the understanding there may be no reward beyond the art itself existing.
