Brutalism is the death metal of architecture, which itself is the anime of music.

Was it an SA quote about the guy who was a typical goon who was also a father and had a bunch of those expensive lego sets assembled and displayed, but also had a very young child who kept trying to play with them and he'd yell at him for disturbing "daddy's models" or some other bs but after watching the Lego Movie he broke down and basically disassembled all his insanely expensive lego models and let his son play with them however he wanted?

It's a goony as gently caress thing to make models or figurines or whatever and then yell at your young kids to never touch them, but it seemed like the perfect example of one adult finally realizing what matters and what doesn't and giving up his stupid hobbies in order to let his child have fun.

Why cant these freaks branch out a little, is there some rule that if you have a horrifying fetish you can only produce content related to it?

Huszsersvn posted:

Their fetishes must be so specific as to be totally unrepresented in terms of artistic output. Therefore, it is up to them to not only cater to their own fetishes, but to do so with volume and fervor.

Saw this recently in Australia, really enjoyed the jokes, but I don't see how its supposed to be upbeat.

The antagonist is actually the kid. The father spent obviously a great deal of time and money and love and creativity crafting immense worlds and the kid is just ruining it because he's too jealous of his dad's power and talent a la Oedipus Rex. The child created Lord Business (as a way to attack his generous and long suffering father) who, in the world his father created, established a totalitarian consumerist nightmare that is as equally devoid of cultural appreciation as the child was. In world, the child is directly responsible for all of that violence and oppression simply because he wanted to make a hamfisted strawman he could abuse. Out of that world, gluing the Lego was the direct and simple response to having all his artwork attacked. Gluing Lego as previously mentioned is a common finishing technique for sculptors. The sock puppet characters in world ascribe this as barbarism, but of course the real barbarism is destroying someone else's artwork, and the cause was the child, not the father, although the child sock puppets Lord Business to take responsibility for it because the child fails to take responsibility for anything.

Imagine for a second that the father was an artist working with pencil. The kid comes into the studio and scrawls over his painstakingly beautiful renderings. The father sighs, fixes up the artwork and sprays a fixative on them so they can't be screwed up further. Explains to the kid he has his own pencils, his own paper, he can draw whatever he wants without destroying something that brings him joy. Kid draws series of mean spirited stick figure comics talking about how what a monster his dad is. Finally, the dad, overcome by the hatred his own son has for him, burns all his own drawings.

The child won. The father will never again be able to sculpt the way he enjoyed again. The quiet, delicate, creative, contemplative culture of high art is conquered by ADD-fueled 'mashup culture', by convincing it to destroy itself.

Bent over keyboards, like old men with their walkers,
tired, bored, we cursed through the memes,
Till on the haunting mods we turned our backs
And towards the next thread began to trudge.
Men clicked "Next Page". Many had lost their place
But limped on, eyes bloodshot. All were lame; all faggots;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed trolls that posted behind.

GAS! Gas! Quick, goons! An ecstasy of backspacing,
cancelling posting just in time;
But someone still was posting in all caps
Aimless like a man in fire or lime.
Dim, through the misty pages and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him shitposting.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, cursing, strawmanning, frothing with rage.

If in some smothering dreams you too could read
the Leper Colony that we saw him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the talking points
Come gargling from his filth-corrupted brain,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To newbies ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Bans are just tenbux,
Never stop posting.

When I first played I thought control was some kind of trap. Like you were being indoctrinated into thinking it was a good idea. I figured if I picked it the game would be like "Haha tricked you now your one of us and WANT to destroy everything!" so I picked Destroy. I was going to pick synthesis because it had the highest requirements and seemed like it would be the "good" ending but it sounded so stupid I just went with destroy, seemed like the most failproof.

At least with Star Wars, there is one thing everyone agrees on: Jar-Jar is an abomination, and the world is lesser for his continued existence.

I like it when a game is bad because then I can go on the internet and say, "Boy is this game bad!!!" and people will laugh at my clever joke and I can pretend they're my friends.
