the fact that david cage has been elevated to anything above pure hack is just so crazy. One of the worst dudes to ever do it.

I think a lot of people in the indie TTRPG spaces who think of their TTRPGs as art kinda have a David Cage approach to the idea that TTRPGs are art, in that they don't actually think ordinary mainstream TTRPGs like D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, etc. are art. They think TTRPGs could be art, but only if somebody who never lowered themselves to fully engage with the mainstream entries in the medium came in and showed them how to be art - everything before that point being just mindless waste.
The result is that they try to make some really deep and meaningful shit without knowing that it's been done before and done better by entries just barely below the surface level, and without knowing basic things about the inner workings of the engines of the medium itself that make them function.
If I want to make this observation into something actually constructive, I might say, like, instead of making your first very TTRPG something that you think has never even been attempted before and will blow everyone's fuckin minds instantly, your first TTRPG should probably be a really basic remake of Basic D&D (like, D&D1e) from the ground up with your own tools and knowledge. When they teach you video game design in college, they don't sit 101 students down and tell them to make something completely original, they tell them to make, like, really basic platformers and shit. You have to know how to make Super Mario Bros. before you can make The Game That Changes The Way You Think of Video Games Forever.
(The one small problem with the comparison is that entering the hobby of TTRPGs through D&D5e and its fucked up play culture as your first game actually really demonstrably makes you a worse player, game master, and designer with a ton of really bad habits to unlearn. I don't think the same could be said for, like, Super Mario and Fortnite in video games.)

something i have a strong dislike for in dbh is how kara’s strength is practically NON EXISTENT. even tho it makes absolutely no sense that she would somehow be weaker because ANDROIDS DONT HAVE MUSCLE !!!!!!!! they are BUILT to basically have SUPER STRENGTH. they cannot tire and they dont have ‘limits’ in the same way humans do. but somehow kara is consistently unable to do things with raw strength, and has to get luther to do it for her (like at that carnival place when you have to pull the wooden boards off the door) it makes literally no sense bc kara SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT !!!! its honestly just misogyny at this point. fuck you david cage
Messy Middles
I was tagged by @kogarashi-art and @woundedsoul12 to share some sort of artistic endeavor that is imperfect. That's in-progress. And I am absolutely in love with this idea, so thank you both for tagging me!
I figured I ought to share some piano progress with you all! I've been playing steadily, though I haven't shared any clips in a while, so here's a dump of the pieces currently in my rotation! All of them are my most recent recording of that piece, on my work's Steinway Baby Grand (trust me, you'd much rather hear that than my 50+ year old Wurlitzer lol).
I'm gonna put this beneath the cut, so it isn't so unwieldy :)

YEAHHH!!!! LUCAS KANE AND MAXWELL!!!!! Who knew the chroma he was exposed to in gestation made him grow cat appendages in adulthood
Looked at the wiki and saw Lucas concept art I love him he's so silly but also what is that
Fahrenheit indigo prophecy was at .99 cents on steam at one point,,, it was tempting but my hatred for David Cage remains pure and unwavering (I should prolly buy a steam key or something)
Look at him and tell me why I have to be obsessed with the worst game ever. It's no fair when other ppl have niche interests that are actually cool pieces of media
I’m trying desperately to work around my summer plans and put aside an extra 48 (rough estimate) hours in order to complete a full run of every single David Cage game.
I need to figure out how to emulate the Dreamcast on my steam deck for Omikron (aware it’s not worth mine or anyone else’s time, but it’s a project guys trust me I have something in working on)and I’m undecided if it’s going to be relatively straightforward, and whether I should begin while I have the time or play through the others and then mod.
I finished Heavy Rain for the first time yesterday!!! Next I’m doing a run of DBH with my dad coz he’s never played it before.
all david cage knows is how to write detective twinks who wouldn’t be half as good at their job if it wasn’t for their tech enhancements.
