and a worse form of it than vidya or movies?
No, it's art. Movies are photography BTW.
At least you get to touch grass
How can anything be worse than vidya?
>>4474691vidya is more rewarding because its got great characters and stories compared to your ugly gf and shooting building corners and trees.
>>4474681It's creative and gets your fat ass outside. Escapism or no, it's superior.
>>4474681Explain it to me. I don't see what you mean.
I used to think stuff like this. People out snapshitting, not paying attention to the real lived experience before them. Obsessing over mere reflections on a paper surface.But no. Photography is the master visual art. Image making has been essential to humans from the cave painting days--and painting is a primitive attempt at photography. Fixing essential moments in time out of the maelstrom of impressions is essential to contemplation and growth, runs parallel to the storytelling tradition as our most vital form of expression. Movies and vidya are fun but inferior combinations of these modes. Their force and meaning is too much constructed a priori, leaving only a narrow interpretive space for the viewer. Vidya in particular are more of a manufactured experience than art.As gross amounts of prefab 'content' (slop) are now churned out daily, it's crucial that we engage with original artforms of a grassroots conception to ponder our truth and nurture a saving power.
>>4474703I can put my penis in my gf, but not in vidya. Hope it helps.
>>4474710Yea there are very few art video games that leave the player open to interpretation. In fact I'm not sure there any any. Maybe Journey...
>>4474710>truthlast time i checked reality wasn't in black and white. this is cope
>>4474703TRVKE. That's why this board is dead and /v/ is huge.
>>4474681yes, of course it is. but at least you get to leave your house and create something instead of pumping LoL for 18hours/day and pissing in a bottle
>>4474725I see thinking isn't your strong suit
>>4474681my camera is my safety blanket
>>4474703I'll have you know that I don't shoot building corners and trees, but rocks and leaves thank you very much.
>>4474703vidya is more popular because it's cheap and easy and appeals to normie sensibilities
