vidya is more rewarding because its got great characters and stories compared to your ugly gf and shooting building corners and trees.

It's creative and gets your fat ass outside. Escapism or no, it's superior.

I used to think stuff like this. People out snapshitting, not paying attention to the real lived experience before them. Obsessing over mere reflections on a paper surface.

But no. Photography is the master visual art. Image making has been essential to humans from the cave painting days--and painting is a primitive attempt at photography. Fixing essential moments in time out of the maelstrom of impressions is essential to contemplation and growth, runs parallel to the storytelling tradition as our most vital form of expression.

Movies and vidya are fun but inferior combinations of these modes. Their force and meaning is too much constructed a priori, leaving only a narrow interpretive space for the viewer. Vidya in particular are more of a manufactured experience than art.

As gross amounts of prefab 'content' (slop) are now churned out daily, it's crucial that we engage with original artforms of a grassroots conception to ponder our truth and nurture a saving power.

I can put my penis in my gf, but not in vidya. Hope it helps.

Yea there are very few art video games that leave the player open to interpretation. In fact I'm not sure there any any. Maybe Journey...

yes but at least you get out of your house (unless you shoot anime figurines). so it's not as bad as vidya or binge watching shows.
escapism is completely normal. the white man can't stay sane in a society that has been subverted and re-engineered by jews. so we have to escape for some time
