The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

I think the best thing you can do to develop both your enjoyment and analysis of art is not to be prescriptivist ("What should this work be like, and does it succeed") but rather descriptivist ("What is this work trying to do/say, and how does it accomplish that")

Viewers/readers/players anticipating your plot twists in advance is GOOD ACTUALLY.
YOU DID A GOOD JOB WHY WOULD YOU RUIN IT. YOUR JOB ISN'T TO OUTSMART YOUR AUDIENCE. UNGUESSABLE PLOT TWISTS ARE BAD TWISTS.
sorry for the yelling but holy shit

the specific flavor of america's terribleness is centered in the heart of those 'tonic salesman' types of the past and their inheritors. it is not just that america is selling you bullshit. it is not just that it's poisonous. it is also that the sales pitch itself is incredibly fucking gaudy.

Two things are constant in the development in this studio:
1. We will always be by and for queer folks first and foremost.
2. As we attempt to branch out into other media and genres we will always be asked to make music for depressed gay people, so you can count on us to deliver The Feels.

a great way to get started with pixel art is to edit existing pixel spritesheets as "studies" or for romhacks etc. so these aren't just ~4500 sprite sheets but >4500 bases for millions of possible ways to remix and create your own little things while learning a new skill
More coverage of our 10,000 Game Assets Pack, this time on Dexerto. We really do appreciate all the support everyone is giving this - basically it makes the last year of working on it full time worthwhile & spurs us on to create more assets!! www.dexerto.com/gaming/indie... #gamedev #indiedev
Indie studio releases 10k human-made game assets so devs “don’t turn to AI” - Dexerto
Indie creators got a boost as a new 10k human-made asset pack launched to help developers avoid relying on AI tools.
