For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.

Like every artist I've ever met was in some point in a terrible label situation. The labels economic model is based on hits. U sign to a label because of the promise that if a song is going they can throw gasoline on it. No amount of advice seems to be able to convince enough artists to stop signing to labels cuz u rly do need to learn this first hand (even I did). But at this point it's almost like lobbying and super pacs in politics - it reduces the potential and rewards algorithmically safe music. They own huge chunks of like any distribution model - most of which are also algo based and reward sameness and frankly when I hear an artist I like followed by 40 other artists that sound just like them I start to lose interest. we've basically destroyed music journalism. And the abundance has actually sort of make everything feel less special.
The main music that can succeed is by theatre kids since they have higher pain tolerance and even exuberant joy about performing and therefore can thrive in environments like tik tok. And it is importsnt to keep space for this type of music

But man... I used to listen to so many local bands. There used to be a way more sustained amount of smaller artists. The musical middle class, as it were. This peaked during Napster era when we prob had the most meritocratic least gatekept music industry (you could be ugly too and still succeed. I miss that lol).

Now literal VC's are buying catalogues - every economic incentive in the world has lined up to actively dissuade new music and especially innovative music. The artists I currently consider the pantheon of modern innovators would have been a LOT more successful ten years ago.

It's interesting to me how undissected the economics of music are and how profoundly and negatively they are impacting music rn

@nakeyjakey I made a cover of your song PINE BARRENS from scratch for my music tech class last semester! Would love it if you give it a listen! Thank you for being one of my biggest musical influences and creating an amazing album🫶 https://t.co/l3TrMJdNE5

This reveals the core of anti-pedophile sentiment as being no different from anti-homosexual sentiment. Both are purportedly about the harm to individuals, but are actually about persecuting disfavored minorities. We should ban harmful things, not things we dislike in others.

Hideo Kojima says he plays maybe one game a year and instead gathers inspiration from the world around him.

"I don't play games so much. I watch movies, read books, meet people and go to museums, and I'm not copying anything from a game. And there are lot of game creators just watching other games,"

"I think the young people are playing games a lot, and that's good. But on top of that, I want people to feel art or see art and then digest it themselves and create new games."

"Games take a lot of time, and I probably just play maybe one game a year. I play my games by checking, but I have to think outside the box, and what's happening outside the game world is more important to me to incorporate into my game."

Reminds me of the discussion a few days ago about how a large majority of gamers only engage with games and no other type of medium
