good to have around for when i feel crazy. though i have only read this today, i’ve been following what is basically this manifesto for a while now. i’m a solo dev so the crushing weight of being in control of my own “marketing” and “success” in the current internet climate is harrowing. my art is how i communicate with others, and my work is free to play because i care most about making real connections from it, but i just haven’t been able to drum that up in an environment that treats everything as disposable. even when i know deep down, the internet as we know it has been broken, being able to hear it from someone every once in a while is great. it lets me know i’m not alone in longing for the real connection i used to experience online, and that there are people besides me out there who give enough of a shit about this stuff to write a manifesto about it. it was a pleasure being able to sit with these feelings i’ve had as not just a set of inside thoughts, but words laid out for me on pages.
