optimal for mario party

that’s fair! i really like her old mixtapes/eps (pop 2 in particular is so cool imo) but its def more referential to mainstream pop than gecs

if you’re willing to experience more boundary pushing stuff, there’s so much of it! (pop-punk with jeff rosenstock, hyperpop with charli xcx/underscores/gecs, math pop haru nemuri etc. there’s just infinite good music)

there’s a lot of great contemporary pop artists! here’s some albums i really like from the past decade (all artists still active to this day)

julia holter – something in the room she moves
carly rae jepsen – emo·tion
magdalena bay – imaginal disk
kero kero bonito – bonito generation

thank you, it’s an honor! your writing is very respectful of the work, and you interpreted one of its major messages very well

do it, its fun to go back to get out of short form from time to time. you could even try using itch.io for that! you can write blog posts, and followers will be able to see it in feed (and like and comment iirc): itch.io/new-blog-post

i have more meaningful interactions on blogs

take the most generic enemy available in the game: palette swap it, speed it up 10x, give it 12 hp, ✨boss design✨

i would rather lose everything straight in that context, rather than the game enforcing me to go back to the same spot in a pretty uninteresting way to “erase” the debt of my failure

thank you, noted! will get a few packs to support you, and possibly sample them in some works!

if one wishes to credit you for a texture or whatever, how could they do it?

and he expressed interest in playing more of it next stream!

in any case, the difference between "time you enjoy wasting" and "time you spend in a carefully balanced state of just enough enjoyment to not do anything else" is something we could try to examine some more

bluesky (the social network)

(idea simplified due to bleet character limit)

the artist “owns” nothing to the “consumer” of the artwork, at most we allow or facilitate. friction is part of expression, and if the spectator refuses to engage with friction they effectively didn’t engage with the underlying work. now, whether or not that friction be justified is another topic

idk the name, but focusing on one important aspect of an artwork and building an analysis around it is a fairly common thing to do: this happens a lot in film analysis due to the sheer complexity of the medium
