Creativity is the cure to nihilism
This month I went to a funeral for an artist. Not necessarily a great artist, or a well remembered name. But one that entertained with their art, and one that will be remembered by the works that they did.
I won’t name them, don’t need to because this applies to any of the millions of artists that won’t appear in “In Memoriams” on award shows when they die.

I’ve been playing Starfield a lot over the last six weeks or so. It has become a very controversial game with a lot of people loving it and a lot of people hating it. I’ve loved it enough to play it a lot, I mean a LOT. Made like 5 characters replaying quest lines. So yes, I love this game.

My next game, that I still haven’t titled, is a sci-fi date simulator. This is a bit of a contradiction. Date simulators are by their nature, set in a positive or at least neutral environment, while sci-fi, when it is done right, is generally set in a negative environment.
