In all seriousness I annotated the Ian Bogost piece extensively because my time has no value: https://genius.it/www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/04/video-games-stories/524148?filter=annotator:BrunoDias
@bruno and here I thought that the most shitty argument about how videogames should be was the one that said they should be fun above everything else, but at least those with said argument know how to write "3D".
@Rumpelcita To be fair "3-D" is the one thing about that take I can't blame on Bogost, that one's on the Atlantic
@bruno double reply, because after recovering from shock I can't believe that a dude who doesn't understand narrative, videogames, how art works and how themes work in art manages to write an article about how he doesn't get jack shit and get it published. I also can't believe that someone like this calls himself a media expert.
The piece should be called "I'm too dumb to understand narrative, so I don't want it in the things I play".
@Rumpelcita I mean it's the Atlantic
a non-games publication that also gave a feature story to David Frum
@bruno I was blissfully unaware of David Frum until this moment. Okay, I have seen people and media like this in my home country so I shouldn't be surprised, but holy shit this is terrible.
I think I said that already.
