They make games and movies like they used to. So many of them. Same with books.
But the mechanisms you learned about them were totally gutted and changed to only amplify shit that's already popular.
It's still there! You're just mostly on your own to find it.
An even more egregious example in the article: Ubisoft accepted 6 million euros from the German government in some sort of arts fund, only to machine translate the German language option.
🧙♀️We have always loved mysterious brews, whimsical witches, and pretty black cats.🐈⬛✨
⭐Today, the rest of the world celebrates these wonderful things with us!
🎃🧡Happy Halloween, everybody!🧡🐈

I wish the most beautiful #lordoftherings quote,
"I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you"
didn't speak to my soul as much as it does. But it does. Heart-wrenchingly so.

Oooh, awesome! What genre? 😁
Nothing is more nurturing to the soul than writing fiction! 😁
When you're navigating the rockiest of roads in life, but you also have the best job in the world, so you get to fully focus on developing a new character you already love dearly for @roostgames.bsky.social.🖤
😸Can't wait for you guys to meet them in #catcafemanager2!

When overnight, you come up with a bizarre but culturally relevant short story idea full of symbolism and painful allegories, but you're already knee-deep in your debut dark fantasy novel🧍♀️. #if-only-there-were-more-hours-in-the-day #writerlife
Obsessed with mine! Get 'em while they're hot! 🔥😍
Going through the first episode of my favorite show to analyze its strengths:
I’m taking notes, coldly picking apart every scene to see why it works, studying its brilliant storytelling...
...only to STILL END UP IN TEARS at the end.
Oh, Attack on Titan, my beloved.

🌻🌷Spending my day at the garden center on a Sunday afternoon, buying things to make my balcony look nice and pretty. And yes, I am actually enjoying it, too. ☘️🌿
I’ve really entered my #thirties, huh.
🖤Nothing is more satisfying than watching your physical bookshelf grow.

Anyway… get on my shelf, Cormac McCarthy. You're up next! #TheRoad #PhysicalMedia
“No, I’m Not a Human” is such a fascinating, refreshing horror game. The artstyle, music, and writing compliment each other perfectly👌.
Gonna keep my eye on the talented humans (or are they?) of @trioskaz.bsky.social.👀

Braceface, baby
When you’ve spent the entire day calling and emailing with Booking and Lufthansa and STILL don’t know if you’ll be allowed to fly to Munich tomorrow.😍🫶 #lovethisforme
Trying to salvage the remainder of this sucky Sunday with takeout and iconic TV nostalgia.
A little peek behind the curtain! Or in the kitchen. Or wherever you want to peek. #catcafemanager2 #ilovemyjob
It’s a good one! ☝️🙂↕️
🌷Our lead artist Carmen was invited to @indigo-showcase.bsky.social and asked to prepare a presentation about her work for Cat Cafe Manager 2! 🐱🩷
🎤She spoke about artistic choices, Dutch cultural references, and the significance of cat scratches on furniture! 💛🐈

I received the book last night. Can’t wait to dig in! 😍
No way, you already finished it?!! 😱 You’re a beast! I just received the book in the mail this evening!
Nog gefeliciteerd wanne
The picture shows the painting “The Dancing Class” by the Dutch old master Jan Steen. In the painting, kids are laughing and trying to teach a kitten how to dance. The cat is not amused.
🇳🇱Took a field day at the #Rijksmuseum with my broski @roostcarmen.bsky.social to study classical Dutch art.
🖤Stood there laughing at this poor cat for a good couple of minutes.
🫡Today was a good day.
Pre-ordered "Sunrise on the Reaping" at my local bookstore just now.📚 Fingers crossed it will arrive in time so I can bring the book along to Devon in 2 weeks.🤞
Let the 50th Hunger Games begin!

Spending my Sunday reading in my local bookshop. 🖤📚 My favorite third place in town!
As a creative writer and narrative designer myself, I just want to say that your work in LR has inspired me so much.🖤
Whilst playing the game, I just kept being reminded of that one beautiful quote: “We were girls together”.
You guys literally captured girlhood.🖤🙏
I love this take, so true 🙂↕️
Gosh, you’re right. They always know exactly what they’re doing, huh? 😒😖🖤
