Master Willem was right, evolution without courage will be the end of our race.
#bloodborne quote but its so appropriate#like big healing church vibes for them tech leaders#who are all shiny eyed diving headfirst into the utopic future#nevermind the fact that the dangers are only rlly obscured by their realism#the dichotomy of this ai will change the world make the world perfect that what we want#and they wanna get it there#but theyre not there#the chatbot is the thing they have to show for#granted when u use plugins and let a bunch of llms do shit together#u see the actual inscrutable magic that they can make happen#and that magic is also so threatening#but were all blinded to it bc we can only rlly acknowledge the watered down simplified realistic view of the reality#which is synival silly and ridiculous bc reality itself is one but so subjective bc we only have each persons interpretation#and its all so socially constructed#so the utopia becomes the dream of these tech leaders#and they wanna make it real#and its almost there#but the nighmare?#the dystopic future#they dont acknowledge#bc they dont dream or try to make it happen#and then theres just the basic reality#but its all tigether#just bc utopia is unlikely but possible#doesnt mean that having the tech for it#will lead to that#bc the system is the same#weve kept inovating non-stop and yeah so much commodification and wuality if life#but not acc changing anytjing

Re-post London trip blog NOV 24, 2018
V&A - Video games Design/Play/Disrupt
I was told halfway through the trip I was to take photos, and I managed to start over and get pictures, problem is if I upload them, what is the point of you going to the exhibit yourself? So will leave them out here
I look at how game suck us into their worlds and stories and try to use that to help tell better stories in a better manner, video games are also an art medium you can explore more than a film as you have a degree of control, the story can take hours of intense trying or be over in one try, the hero can fail and plot armour is not there to save you in the typical sense, games allow different perspectives / way to play that speaks to us as individuals,
A quote that my friend introduced me to that I feel is appropriate for this is
‘Making games combines everything that’s hard about building a bridge with everything that’s hard about composing an opera. Games are operas made out of bridges’ - Frank Lantz (2014)
There was a segment that supposedly was to talk about political correctness in video games and how it goes beyond taboo boarders to tell a message that any and every one can appreciate, at least that what I figured it would be about, instead all that was there was naming and shaming, like “how dare a game set in the past not have characters of ethnicity”, in spit of the fact this is the time before ships to sail across the oceans to get to said characters in their native homelands hadn’t been invented yet.
Politics is a game that everyone loses
I particularly liked the concepts, art, research, notes etc. I appreciate it when a game studio that is making a game in a desert landscape gets a bunch of their programmers, animators and other world builders to go on a company trip to a desert so they can experiment with movement and how sand reacts so they can make it behave the same way in game and in turn make the world that much more real and immersive.
Bloodborne
I have not played this game, or anything related but the I like the dark-souls like monsters, how these creatures can seem like they could exist (with some creative licence) makes me think about my own designs, as I make ships, droids and weapons and I need to learn to design organic characters.
Splatoon
Splatoon was your typical cutesy Nintendo designed game that somehow takes the tactical shooter games and makes them innocent like a game of paintball, just without a way to cheat, and this is in comparison to Bloodborne across with the room with its hyper realism and gore, and whilst there was plenty of source material I cannot read the notes on the concept art as it is in another language.
