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 curse of thinking of a Minecraft parody every time I hear certain songs will never go away
"How did you learn how to play that soundtrack song?" Easy. I just press random keys until I get war flashbacks
YOU play video games to feel powerful. I play video games to feel new, previously undiscovered shades of grief and sadness. we are NOT the same.
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

i do love that you can name pets pretty much anything. with children you have to be reasonable but with pets you can just do anything. you can name your tortoise panopticon
characters going “we were lovers once”: eh, it’s okay i guess. it’s nice enough
characters going “we were friends once”: absolutely devastating. one hit knockout i’m gone
