This is my point exactly. Art should be accessible both for the artist and those that enjoy the art. In the current landscape too many artists is a terrible thing for most besides the ones who are already wealthy, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I see so many extremely talented and creative people who can’t afford to make art and are forced to waste their talents because they can’t survive as an artist. Good art takes a lot of time to create and only wealthy people have free time.

The price it costs to make movies. There are way more new movies than you realize. The mark is just as oversaturated. You’re just less likely to see low budget indie movies the same way you prominently see low budget games and music unless you follow cheap horror circles and things like found footage.

Competition is what degrades quality. People who’s needs are met are more creative and more likely to take risks and more likely to try to make something unique. That’s the problem with the influx of games. You see it in everything. People who are already insulated with a secure amount of wealth are able to become creative musicians/artists and others will just try to copy what makes money, but ultimately most will fail due to the sheer amount of people competing. If every developer and creator’s needs were met before they tried creating anything then the landscape would look very different, but that’s not the world we live in.
The market is extremely competitive, and ever more so with each new developer. Everything is more accesssible yes, but that is worse for everyone besides major IPs who will always make money and those who can take risks because they are in a position to do so. This is the problem with all creative fields. It’s great for people who are already secure and terrible for everyone else.

The main problem I see is that creators and all of the people involved in creating games get a smaller share than they would have in the generations before and games aren’t getting cheaper to make. It’s the same with movies and music and everything. There’s only so much capital and the pool of people fighting over it keeps getting bigger. It would be nice if people could make shit just for the sake of making it but instead every market has become a cutthroat competitive wasteland of bland bullshit and half assed or unfinished projects.
I buy tons of games. I hardly play most of them. So many have potential, but stay in early access or fizzle out and the developers abandon it. It really sucks, because I do see a lot of creativity and really awesome ideas that go to waste. Unfortunately, people have to make money to survive and can’t just create art for art’s sake.

I did say that’s just been my experience and I did say that people with legitimate problems are different. The cases I’ve seen are spouses or partners who don’t work but their partner has to do the work of two people or kids living with their parents well into their 40s and don’t ever try to support themselves. I’ve known some people who bounce from couch to couch until the person they’re staying with get’s sick of them never contributing and kicks them out. Sometimes they do eventually become self sufficient and sometimes they find someone who’s willing to support them and marry them never having to lift a finger. I doubt I’d ever be in the position to meet a real shut in who can’t leave their house because they legitimate problems or have been traumatized so this has just been my experience.

I haven’t known any shut ins that would qualify as having mental heath issues. Most of the people I know who never leave their house just don’t want to have a job. They don’t have any problems leaving the house or dealing with people they just don’t want to work or support themselves. Of course instances where they physically can’t leave their house because of mental health issues and trauma are different, but again that’s never been my experience when dealing with people like that and I known a lot of people who would be called “shut ins”.

The same way people here do probably. Mooching off their parents/friends/spouse/government.

Hey, I know this 4 weeks later, but I thought I’d let you know that I used the hand sanitizer spray for a couple months with no bleaching. I actually just recently switched to Lysol fabric disinfectant and I get even better results so I’d recommend that instead.

Those do look really comfortable! I wear something very similar for work, but they have more a dress shoe look. Almost exactly like these but thinner I think: a.co/d/cLPsGH6

I’ve only done it about 5 times so far and I don’t see any discoloration yet. I actually got this spray from a CBD company years ago. It’s only alcohol, lemon, and water as far as I can tell.
If the insides of my shoes start to turn white I’ll come back to your post to let you know.
- Comment on Every toddler becomes a hackerman when they find a tablet 4 months ago:
My feet sweat a lot so I wear very thin shoes with airation holes and they’re usually pretty stretchy. I slide my shoes off and on easily and only tie them once when I first have to buy a new pair. Usually the heel blows out before anything else, but it’s probably my fault because I throw them in the washer/dryer trying to fight the stink from sweaty feet.
If anyone else has this problem I just recently found that hand sanitizer spray works way better than washing and drying because the alcohol kills the smelly bacteria.

Apparently they can’t roll out Gemini to my phone because I never gave them my birthday. It’s a really old account and they’ve been sending me notifications to add my birthday for years.

Allergies maybe? Most women use special makeup for dates it could be something she’s wearing like lipstick. It could be something in the food like peanuts or olive oil.
