The story behind Returnal is so fucking amazing but I know I could never get through the gameplay myself so I guess I’ll just obsessively watch videos about it
I love you “Art not as a masterful communication but as an incoherent scream”
I love you “Art not as what liberates the artist but something larger and alive that liberates itself uncontrollably through the artist”
I love you “Art that crawled and thrashed into the world in spite of, not because of its tribulations”
I love you “Artistry not as something spontaneous and beautiful but frustratingly meticulous and unglamorous”
I love you “Art as regrettable, terrifying, ugly, even torturous”
I love you “Art as sickness”
I love you “Art as oppressive and inescapably woven into the soul”
I love you “Art as a rebellious slave”
I love you “Art as a capricious master”
I love you “Art as a parasite one can no longer picture life without”
I love you “Art as beloved and ungrateful”
I love you “Art as blood, sucked from an open wound” As Jacob Geller so poetically put it
