I’m honestly shaking to be listed among such legendary creators.
With almost no marketing power, this was only possible thanks to your word of mouth.
Thank you so much.

On this particular day I want to say that a critic's job is to criticize art, and an artist's job is to make something that resonates with specific people, which necessarily means it won't resonate with others. If every critic liked a piece of art, one or the other of us would not be doing our jobs.

The really depressing thing about AI is it proves how little most people care about art. This is very funny, but also, so many people will have had to look at this and not one of them stopped and said "what is this absolute shit?"

When we critique art, we can all choose to evaluate its cultural, industrial & moral impact as much as its technological design & overall execution.
BO7 will survive the slings & arrows, ofc, and it’s vitally important that art and its MANY avenues of impact face uncomfortable critical analysis

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a soulless and soul-destroying game that thinks exceptionally little of its players and developers.
