Video Games have kept me from suicide on multiple(like 20+)occasions so unless their prepared to hold my hand each and every time I have a mental crisis then they better shut it

It's sad that this is "art" and video games are apparently not.

kctownck.bsky.social•118 days ago

Let those people know that video games are in MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art. Then sit back and enjoy their reaction. https://www.moma.org/magazine/articles/798

Actually that is a conversation I had with my son in the 90s and as he was then you are now.

I guess some things never change, huh?

i mean, technically, ANYTHING is art if a human is using their creativity and talent to craft it.

a-derg-that-writes.bsky.social•119 days ago

I mean, if you want to say it like that, I bet some austrian painter worked very hard, using his talent at manipulating people, to nearly take over Europe

It can be considered an artistic accomplishment to manage such a grasp on a country

a-derg-that-writes.bsky.social•119 days ago

But its highly controversial, so let's just stick to the definition of art that applies to anything relating a medium to evoke deep retrospective or emotions

(🍒) They need to play Hellblade. They might not like the game play, but everything else about it...

I mean, it's the frontman for Combichrist singing in the tracks.

Video games are literally the combination of all type of arts

a-derg-that-writes.bsky.social•119 days ago

Yup, 3xactly

Video Games are the ultimate art form

reyquaza11.fursona.club•119 days ago

Tbh the /j is uneccessary, it kinda is

a-derg-that-writes.bsky.social•119 days ago

I believe all forms of art are equally valid, and while video games combine a lot of other arts, all art form sdo to some extent

It's still one art form, and it is as great as every other one

I approve of this message

baboon923.bsky.social•119 days ago

did you just wake up and decide to open idiots' eyes up to facts?

a-derg-that-writes.bsky.social•119 days ago

Effectivly

I woke up, went downstairs to eat, and my grandpa was here and he randomly asked me what I want to be

I said I want to be an Author and Game Dev, and so he started arguing that games are just a waste of time, not artistic and useless

Don't bother arguing with such people. Just do what you love, mate. You'll find plenty of people who'll appreciate your work.
