Let's start an art school and let everybody in. I think we could get a Nobel peace prize.

People are messed up, man. I've still had someone flat out say "that's a gay name" to my face. About my name. Without knowing anything else about me. Weird, man. Like, I'd even accept somebody saying it out of anger in traffic as being easy to brush off. But some people, man.
To be honest though, I feel like queer people that grew up in that period and before were robbed. It sucks and I don't really know where to place the anger properly. Definitely not on a musician though, personally.
My family, the people I grew up around, yes, but not a musician really, especially when half the time they were probably just looking for an easy rhyme, as compared to someone a foot away from my face saying they wanted to drag me behind a truck. Or saying how wrong it is to be with a guy. I'm not big on ICP but have listened to a few of their songs and if I'm being real I didn't even notice them saying it. But the other stuff... I don't think I'll ever heal from.
Dude have you ever tried to collaborate with anyone?
Also, A, no one has money.
And B: it turns out learning an art form to a high enough degree to use it to sell something involves (generally) doing it from a young age and each different skill requires other related skills. Nobody has the time to make music, and learn art, and then graphic art, and marketing, and writing, and accounting.
Hm, I see what you mean, then. I'm sure choice of hardware has something to do with it. But it seems like it's like licorice, some people like it and some people don't. Glad you enjoy it though, that's cool.
And software, and movies, and books, and...
I've had the same approach from the other side of the aisle and let me tell you, talking about open source and liberal ideals in programming would be a lot less hostile than some fundie rant.
(please please please be my prof next semester...)
And how many people are only playing console instead of pc because there are physical games for consoles still? I'm sure it has to be a good percentage.
We're heading straight towards a cyberpunk future.
And not even a shiny, pretty, exciting one, ours is still half boring for some reason. I can't even pin down what's missing. It still feels like ours has wood paneling or something, but even that would be too '70s, which would still be a little cool. Maybe ours is too '90s? Our cyberpunk somehow still feels too analogue and not enough.
No, that's like dad straight up saying "I know you need new clothes for winter, but I don't like you and I do like drinking, so I'm going to spend our money at the bar instead."
Saying we don't have the money to feed the poor is at least having some shame about it.
Paper armor and glass cannons.
