“The current obsession with nostalgia and remake culture is easy to understand when you realize that it’s a symptom of a culture that isn’t allowed to imagine a future.”

    Retelling stories is such an ancient tradition we literally can trace certain myþs genealogically þrough ð millennia.

    Cloud being sad in an Action RPG format ðis time isn’t some deep revelation of ð deaþ of creativity because capitalism exists.

    And I hate capitalism and what it does to artistic expression!

        Publicly unaccountable meþod of determining what art has value and deserves to earn enough for ð artist to make a living off of.

          The value of an art piece is always subjective. The price (closest thing we have to the objective value) is determined by the buyers.

          What other mechanism would there be? A committee? That’s a bit nazi for my taste. A popular vote? Look at the election results to see why that might be a bad idea.

          The theme is a bit touchy these days, especially in certain small country in eastern europe, where the new minister started to cut subsidies to the art she considers unworthy, obscene and politicized, in favor of art reflecting so called traditional values and national identity. The mere existence of the ministry of culture, established with the most noble goal of supporting art, creates this kind of potential vulnerability.

      Do you plan to do all digraphs, or just th?

      Will you split out the different vowel phonemes to their IPA?

      I’m just intrigued by the thought process behind your choice of typed characters.

        Ya, like wtf? I got what they were saying based on context clues, but I swear I’ve been seeing more and more profiles that are trying to do a “thing.”

        Like this person with the typed characters, I’ve seen another user in comment threads who posts in the third person and refers to themselves as their fursona (scale-sona?), and of course the trolls.

        I guess I just don’t get it.
