My honest opinion is that if you’re making any kind of games or art during the pandemic & it’s not completely assholey, that’s pretty cool & I hope you enjoy it & your audience enjoys it https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♂️" title="Man shrugging" aria-label="Emoji: Man shrugging">

I have my own idiosyncratic taste in games & other art / entertainment, but right now I’m generally rooting for everybody working on any creative projects, even if they don’t happen to be my cup of tea, and bonus points if I happen to like them too

maybe you baked a chicken pie but I don’t like chicken pie

I don’t have to eat it, somebody else will eat the chicken pie — so I’m glad you baked it

that’s how I feel about games & other art right now

that’s right, I actively want people to enjoy the art I don’t enjoy

we’re living through a time of such brutality, grief, fear & pain

who gives a fuck whether or not I, Lucian Kahn, like some game or not?

for fuck’s sake, if I don’t like it, someone else will like it, and I hope that person has fun

it’s probably going to be a while before I manage to care even a little bit about most art criticism again

right now all art is survival art
