(She/Her) | 38 Games are an artistic medium that fuses the role of observer and performer into that of the player, allowing one to both be art and experience it simultaneously, and I am obsessed with them. π³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈβππ Stream: twitch.tv/mogsk
Yes, but the deficit that addresses often renders it almost a new text with its own authorial direction and intent, and I absolutely get where heβs coming from when he cites things like lack of context-based pronouns which alter meanings in a way that canβt be conveyed in English in the same space.
Idk, as a former English teacher, Iβd say heβs right on the money. A lot of the linguistic tools available in Japanese do not carry over to English which is, by comparison, very rigid and utilitarian and does indeed render the translation, as he puts it, simplistic compared to the original.
Also, now thinking about it, isn't the idea of flattening all "prompts" into having a single, quantifiable energy footprint also just pure nonsense? You're telling me that asking a question, coding an elaborate program, generating an image, or a whole video WITH sound all take the same energy? (X)
The primmies on the other hand really seem to only be on that "I read Sterner once and now I call everything that annoys me or complicates my politics a 'spook'" tip.
Most of the genAI crowd's argument rests on how it effects individual carbon footprints, i.e. how much does making x prompts impact a person's personal energy usage index which is using the same bullshit liberal capitalist double-speak that gave us the deranged idea of commodified carbon off-sets.
I hear it from both AI hype types and bitter primmies who've thusfar failed to get people to care t about the impact of modern energy usage, but how much longer do we need to see the material realities before y'all will stop with this "actually, AI energy usage is a manufactured crisis" bullshit?
Fuck. Panic mode. I've got until the 10th to figure out a new home, possibly even shorter if the landlady tries to take my ass to court because my state will do short evictions for late rent.
If you can help it would be appreciated.

PA system just announced βNow serving F-Zeroβ and my heart started racing
I now have a special bond with whoever behind me chuckled when my scrolling stopped on Nemesis with his dick out.
My life is now a strand game.
The one day I have to be sitting shoulder to shoulder with people at the DMV for 3 hours is the day everyone is posting untagged hog on the TL and yβknow what, cβest la vie!
Yesssss, their collabs are always the best! The time they went out for super spicy curry with that British curry YouTuber is one of the best things to come out of UK food vlogging.

What would you say is your work that stands out the most, and what rules did you find yourself breaking when you made it?

My friend who was born while I was in high school: Hey Mogs, I need a bomb to progress in Super Metroid, could you hop on Buckshot Roulette to see if you can find one? I just sent you some magnifying glasses and a saw, hope that helps!
Me:
Cross-generational queer community is so important bc I'm playing an Archipelago game with some of my zoomer friends and I feel like I've been spirited away to where the imaginary is made real, the kind of absurd concept we'd dream up as kids who didn't know any better, and it's just normal to them.
I feel like, if it's all making it into the bowl and down the pipes AND his toilet is cleaner for it, dude's kinda ahead of the rest of us who are just doing what we were taught was normal.
Fucked up thing is I feel way more comfortable being chatty and sharing my thoughts out loud when Iβm doing cartoon mouse voice β is this the hidden wisdom of the mousegirls?
Really getting tired of my voice sounding higher in my head, but hearing how deep it is when played back, but desperately donβt want my girlfriendβs advice of βjust talk in cartoon mouse voice all the time and itβll cause you to unconsciously settle into a higher registerβ to be real.
Making kids aware that queer experience exists: therapy-inducing.
Making kids wrap their heads around the question of how a plush-bodied doll is supposed to fuck a ceramic figurine after learning what sex is 5 minutes ago: fun for the whole family!
This shit is wild for someone who had to corner her parents to explain the scene where Bo Peep is clearly telling Woody that watching him pretend stop a bank robbery has her wet and DtF immediately.
X would be better if it were written by Y, this story would resonate more in a different genre, I wish Z could get a rewrite someday, they got it all baby!
And itβs chill!
I donβt usually put too much stock in βgames people need to get into other mediumsβ talk, but maybe yβall should try it idk
That books get cited is the thing that really convinces me this is just craving for games to possess some amorphous aura of legitimacy. Book fandom is extra ridiculous about this stuff, but thatβs because book fans tend to, at least unconsciously, really appreciate the building blocks of the medium.
Thatβs just what getting into a medium as a whole rather than a particular genre or artist is.
Sometimes it makes people think critically about artistic innovation, utility, intent, a lot of the time itβs Disco Elysium, but about a witch in the Alps, and thatβs okay, itβs just people having thoughts
Itβs just the bastard offspring of βare games art?β neuroses.
βFans of a respected medium like music would never say that a song should be in a different genreβ
Buddy my guy, you should try getting into EDM lmao
βWhat if video games were treated like x mediumβ they are.
If you dig deep enough into any medium treated primarily as entertainment, youβll find all the stupid takes you think are unique to games, games are just the medium you are deep enough in.
What conversation are we trying to have here?
We're so close. We're SO close! Just $92 left before the fourth issue of AAA is fully funded! Double digits! That's it! It would be SO cool to hit 100% by the end of the day! Can we do it? That's up to you!

Happy to announce that we will be hosting our first SOUPJAM on Itch starting next month! If you're interested in the SOUP-like microgenre of art-games then this is a great opportunity to make some SOUP of your own!
Together we will teach the world to SOUP!
