they cubismed me.. i got cubist
played The Exit 8 over the weekend (good game) and had a jolt to my system when i realized how structurally and technically simple, yet totally enticing it is. i actually do have the skills to make video games that people love to play. i need to get out of my own way!

had a dream last night that i was finishing my degree at aquarium university, but before i could take my final exam for jellyfish class, a seal got loose. the professor told me that my new final was to safely wrangle the seal and get her back in her enclosure. whole time i was a deep sea major 😭

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.

I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

often i find myself arguing in conversation against the idea that "communists don't account for base human nature," which is something i categorically do not believe. and then i hear from the communists. religion, spirituality, and stories is just vulgar idealism? that's what we're going with? fr?
Idealism is the belief in the importance of immaterial forces. That includes religion, spirituality, and the supernatural. Materialists can admit when we don't know something and will continue to study it and figure it out instead of making up a story about it that comforts us into complacency.
