Goodbye, Locke.
Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, beyond time,
Locke, I’ll see you again, won’t I?

@saintbisqwi The point I was making was judge individual claims according to what they concern and how strong they are. Not "watching and playing are perfectly identical, and spectators can claim firsthand knowledge of controls." You’re making an analogy towards a point I never made

[Neo Fascio @NeoFascio_]

@ElinPratzhev I get dms all the time asking me what FF game they should start with and I never tell them “watch a let’s play.” The statement I was making was one of curiosity: If someone has a very well thought out opinion of a game, is it invalid because they didn’t “play” it?

[Neo Fascio @NeoFascio_]

@KEMOgroyper I’d recommend playing a game over watching it too. This is just a hypothetical I made to see what the counter argument would be

[Neo Fascio @NeoFascio_]

@GravewaI @SquireGrooktook That wasn’t the argument I was making. I just mirrored his exaggerated claim.

I do believe most gamers are idiots, however, and physically completing a game does not magically make them attentive, perceptive, or capable of forming a worthwhile opinion about it

[Neo Fascio @NeoFascio_]

@SquireGrooktook Chess has no acting, music, visual staging, narrative, environmental art, animation, etc. Nearly the whole object is contained in the rules and decisions. I agree that you miss out on not “playing” the game, but not enough to warrant your opinions invalid

[Neo Fascio @NeoFascio_]

@SquireGrooktook I don’t care for “communities” or group rituals. Watching and playing are different encounters, not the difference between encountering and not encountering the work. Be honest about which one you had, and let the quality and scope of the observations determine their value

[Neo Fascio @NeoFascio_]

@SquireGrooktook Nothing you wrote here addresses the point. 9/10 the opinion of the average person “playing” a game occurs while they mindlessly mash buttons on a controller while a YouTube video or podcast plays in the background. Physical input does not prove attention

Facebook is awesome.

@KokomoLitorifer I agree with “You lose something by not playing” rather than “You have not meaningfully encountered the artwork at all.” I wouldn’t say people are “engaging with the art form” just because the controller passed through their hands

Kingdom Hearts II - light novel artwork.

This art was done in grayscale due to the standards of Japanese light novels. While it’s true some have glossy color pages set aside for images, most light novel artwork is done in black and white since they are primarily text-based books

@2Torquemada Yes, VII is certainly up there among my favorite games ever. Also, yes, I love Chrono Trigger and believe I posted about it before (maybe deleted it). It’s the perfect game. Perfectly realized in all aspects from narrative to gameplay. Will write more once I replay it

Love this scene

[Neo Fascio @NeoFascio_]

I like Final Fantasy XII’s architecture

Astro Boy, Osamu Tezuka

Kubrick saw Astro Boy and wrote to Tezuka asking him to handle art direction for 2001: A Space Odyssey. Tezuka was flattered but declined because he would have to leave Japan and his studio for roughly a year
