"cozy game" maybe for YOU. I have spreadsheets

voice acting as a profession is so funny because you'll see someone being like "voice actors need to be paid better! like [obscure person you've never heard of]" and you're like "oh I wonder who that person is, maybe I've heard them voice a character" and you look it up and it turns out they voice 137 characters in Futurama and 94 characters in The Simpsons and 96 characters in Adventure Time and every one of the My Little Ponies and 27 characters in Arcane and 96 characters in Kim Possible and 4 characters in Phineas and Ferb and 296 characters in Dexter's Laboratory and all of the main cast of Fairly Odd Parents and at least 6 characters in every Pixar movie and almost every animated depiction of Superman and 473 SpongeBob characters and they've been in every installment of Mass Effect and Halo and The Elder Scrolls and Fallout and Call of Duty and they were in Star Trek and Law & Order and they were 12 characters in the MCU and they also invented t-shirts and the colour green and they got paid a sum total of $3.27 and a mothball for all of it combined. then you go burn down David Zaslav's house with him inside

I honestly don't understand people who say video games aren't art. Literally what else could they possibly be besides art?

"They're just games! (Derogatory i.e. children's toys ala Monopoly or Mouse Trap, obviously not referring to more complex adult board games like Scythe)"

But. Those. Are art though?

What else could they be besides art?

The suggestion is obviously that video games are "toys for children" or whatever and therefore can't be art because art is for hanging up in the Louvre for pretentious adults to interpret.

Except art for children exists? And video games have been featured in the Louvre??? And I'm a pretentious adult and I interpret video games all the time every day?????

Even if you thought video games were stupid and not worthy of taking seriously, that doesn't make them not art. It would just make them bad art. Which is still art.

The images in a trace and color book aren't suddenly Not Art just because they're for kids to color in. Bad art exists.

The suggestion that something doesn't get to qualify as art because it's primary demographic is children or because it is meant to be interacted with and derive amusement from doesn't make any fucking sense.

Why don't you just be honest and say "I hate video games" like a fucking adult instead of trying to legitimize your stupid prejudice by trying to argue that video games don't meet some arbitrary designation of what does and doesn't qualify as art, even though they obviously do.

the most annoying people are people who don't understand storytelling. they be like "oooo how convenient that this thing happened to the main character in the very beginning". yeah no shit. that's why the story begins here

which is more culturally significant the renaissance or youtube shows created by 12-17 year olds playing with children’s toys.

I LOVE MY FRIENDS SO MUCH I'M JUST STUPID AND FORGET THAT FEELINGS NEED TO BE EXPRESSED IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE FELT

I would make the best Apperture Science test subject because I have, like, a monkey brain that makes it so when I see a puzzle I physically cannot help but try and solve it. A little while ago, I was playing a game with a puzzle where you had to move a bunch of boxes around so you could reach a door on the other side of the room, and I didn't even notice the door for the longest time I just saw boxes I could move around in a confined space and went "oooo box puzzle weeeeeeeee" and started pushing things around without having any idea of what the end goal was supposed to be. Like, I wouldn't even need the incentive of "cake" I would be content with my reward being more puzzles for all eternity.
