  • Oh I’m aware. I’m just questioning republican MAGA voter’s perception. I’ve worked in construction most of my adult life and even in my childhood I spent much of my time around the real macho old school conservative types. I just don’t understand how anyone who looked up to the classic strongman stereotype of a man can support such an obvious “pansy”. In their eyes the ideal man was strong, silent, honorable, hard working, tough, courageous, the all American cowboy archetype.

    Trump is none of those things. This video is just another of many examples of what an absolute pathetic loser he is and yet republicans still continue to allow him to represent them. I’d be embarrassed to be in the same party as him and I’m the furthest thing from a republican. I just don’t get it.










  • It still costs more to make an indie or found footage film than it would to make a game or music or other art. I watch a lot of found footage so I’m pretty familiar with the style and do a lot of research on the ones I like. The average on the low end of the price spectrum is around $10,000 although some have been made for around $1,000.

    Still there’s a lot of stuff out there. Another thing to consider is that art, music, and games from foreign countriea are way more accessible than movies and shows from abroad.


  • This is my point exactly. Art should be accessible for both the artist and those that enjoy the art. In the current landscape too many artists is a terrible thing for most besides the ones who are already wealthy, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I see so many extremely talented and creative people who can’t afford to make art and are forced to waste their talents because they can’t survive as an artist. Good art takes a lot of time to create and only wealthy people have free time.










  • Competition is what degrades quality. People who’s needs are met are more creative and more likely to take risks and more likely to try to make something unique. That’s the problem with the influx of games. You see it in everything. People who are already insulated with a secure amount of wealth are able to become creative musicians/artists and others will just try to copy what makes money, but ultimately most will fail due to the sheer amount of people competing. If every developer and creator’s needs were met before they tried creating anything then the landscape would look very different, but that’s not the world we live in.

    The market is extremely competitive, and ever more so with each new developer. Everything is more accesssible yes, but that is worse for everyone besides major IPs who will always make money and those who can take risks because they are in a position to do so. This is the problem with all creative fields. It’s great for people who are already secure and terrible for everyone else.
