The End of Gameplay, yeah? I'll go buy a copy. If we have to survive in this capitalist hellscape, I can at least do that much support!

I've been transitioning out of games after 20 years of it, and also maybe feeling something like this, so I find this line of thought super resonant. I want to engage, but I feel like I'm missing some context? (Unless this is meant to be a 1:1 interaction, in which case I'll butt out!)

I don't know if this is a new poster or if I've just never seen it before, but good god it's glorious

I mean, I'm mad about it, but you're not wrong. May or may not be tacking this up on my wall as a constant reminder: "If art has any role to play in the struggle, it is to channel people toward collective action, not to act as a substitute for it."

My wife makes fun of me all the time for this, but it is such a real life pro-tip and I will never change

I have wondered this for 20 years, and the reasons have evolved. First, I didn't have money. Then, I had money, but couldn't take off work. Then, I saved up enough to go on sabbatical, but had a baby at home. Life is always happening. I'd *love* to be able to do a residency some day, though. 😭
