“Are video games art?” They’re actually so not art that they’re negative art. If you play Diablo 3 for an hour and forty-two minutes you’ve no longer ever seen Casablanca. Every 100 levels you beat in Candy Crush deletes all your opinions about an exhibit in the Tate Modern.

I’m going to point out that you are fucking wrong. There are a lot of indie games I would consider art. What remains of Edith Finch is in my opinion a piece of art. If Found is a fantastic narrative game about primarily the experiences of a trans woman in Ireland in the 1990s.

AAA games are not art. But some indie games might be.

Tumblr post from @blessyouhawkeye: 'telling a joke on tumblr is fun but watch out! if it gets over 1000 notes your joke is automatically exposed to people who have never once heard a joke in their life.' '"why would you say that" because it was funny. "but that isn't true" it's the funniest way to express that sentiment. "why would you do that" because it's a joke.'ALT
