I’m on the other side of your opinion - I like that phrase. “Content” can mean art, audio/visual media, writings, etc. - basically anything that we consume.

IMO, Professional creative like artists/writers/performers are all content creators but not not all content creators are professional creatives.

In this day and age, everyone creates music, comedy, videos, skits. Some work a job primarily but create media or rabbitholes that can be scoured through.

I think “content creator” is a nice catch-all term for personalities that do a lot of stuff that can be casually consumed for entertainment or discourse, especially because it stops limiting said people to one occupation like “musician” or “author”, while also preserving the seriousness of those occupations.

I find this arguing over labels more and more as I browse online, and it is sooo exhausting. I have noticed so many instances of arguing and discourse where both sides have similar ideals and want the same things, but argue with each other over stereotypes of labels on the other side, and point to the faults of the vocal rabid minority on the other side as if to prove a point. Sigh.

It Takes Two has a great protagonist

I just downloaded Tightrope Theatre - and it is pretty awesome rn. A classic platformer challenge, it has a hundred levels and is enjoyable

For good reason. Out of all the messenger apps I’ve tried - open source, decentralised, or stuff like whatsapp - Telegram is THE best one imo. Fast as hell, great UI/UX, lots of customisation, nice features, and good bot support.

I know some people dislike Telegram here, but among centralised apps their philosophy and track record is pretty decent imo

Animated Music Videos

I just love the combination of different mediums - the art, music, direction - mmmmph!

Pretty much the same opinion as you.

I think Gen 5 was the last non-“commerical” games. Almost all games since then are way too simple, it’s like playing a visual novel. AND SO SLOW - I haven’t found much other people who related to this, but the movement, animations, and general gameplay feel slow and bloated.

tbf - the games didn’t get too easy either, all the enemy trainers have ev trained pokemon with perfect IVs in later gens, so much so that nuzlocking them is apparently harder than old games. That doesn’t change the fact that there’s too much handholding tho.

Also, Pokemon Legends: Arceus was pretty neat. Not a classic pokemon game, but a polished one atleast.

A lot of it is to blame on blind fans - people will buy any random crap that comes out with a pokemon stamp and let Gamefreak escape the consequences

• Halo
• It Takes Two

Goddamn these two games are so well crafted and awesome. Halo is a classic fps with every aspect of gameplay gelling really well with me. It Takes Two is a unique with some revolutionary gameplay mechanics. Some of my favourite games of all time

I think False Knees has to be it. Beautiful illustrations and heartwarming writing

Edit: One of my favourites from them It’s part of a chill 31-part storyline, which I recommend reading from the start

YES omg! I still load it up once every few months and have a go

Such a masterpiece of a game, and to think it was all made by just one person, phew
