As much as it would be wonderful to always spend time on productive and rewarding activities, there's no way I could ever keep that up. No matter who you are you're eventually going to want to go into a phase of inactivity or mental rest, and playing a game is just as good as as watching a movie or listening to music. A videogame has the advantage of actually being a game too, and people tend to need to fuck around with things like that occasionally.

Who really cares if it's a serious artistic medium. It really isn't, I mean, the categorization here would be that art is it's purpose, it's not. Entertainment and recreation are it's purpose, videogames in general, are not art.

Not that that precludes them from being art sometimes.

Guys, art is the desperate human activity of trying to give meaning to the universe, which is essentially an unimaginably huge structure of meaningless data otherwise. A sunset doesn't really mean anything, it's just there, a pattern of photons refracting through our atmosphere. Art is when we apply abstraction to create meaning out of our very coincidental existence.

Well you could also have nihilistic art to prove that our existence doesn't have meaning.

Anyway, every bit of human experience then is art, what we actually call art, would be that which holds a greater individual meaning.


I don't know if that makes sense because I just woke up and now I am going back to sleep.

Guys maybe art is just a feeling. An emotion or instinct that's just too fucking complex for us to understand, so we just kind of feel it out.
