I think the best way to describe many people's issues with modern day anything, from art, to discussions:
What if you had to use your imagination to conceptualize what the artist intended!? Wouldn't that be fucking nuts!
#Reading comprehension I feel like would fit here#simply not having that flexibility to consider more than a single tunnel vision of an opinion without nuance#some stuff just doesn't make sense to people because you'd have to make them understand so#For example explaining “retro artistry's merits compared to modern” for fucking video games#to someone who only thinks the most recent tech is worth a shit and buys the latest iphone every year#Do you know the magnitude of effort it would take to begin such a concept of existentiality to someone who sonic speeds past acknowledging#mortality#I don't even think you do and I don't think this hyper specific situation exists beyond a few choice encounters but please#can you use your imagination to understand WHAT exactly I mean here#Like it's an undertaking that only grows until you recognize the sheer impossibility of such an effort#and suddenly they have the aura of a mad god with a subject who's existence can never be acknowledged lest you burn that bridge to ash#for everyone's safety#oh and you can just imagine flat textures in Banjo Kazooie are the textures they are. Like grass! It doesn't need a shit ton of sprites to#be grass! It's GRASS! It's GREEN n shit! Cmon we're platforming and grabbing musical notes you don't need vines every 4sec to be in a jungl#Listen to the music fucker!#Doo doo doo doo do do do do do DOO DOO!#smile you fucking idiot#who CARES that you can see the fucking triangles#that's so you can SEE what THINGS ARE#the truest ramble is always in the tags
