RND/ to imagine videographic images with symbolic a hallucinatory resemblance
Part of the Hypertography One Exhibit
[..] we are in a logic of simulation, which no longer has anything to do with a logic of facts. Thus, hyper-realists fix a reality from which all meaning and charm, all depth and energy of representation have vanished in a hallucinatory resemblance. Thus, everywhere the hyperrealism of simulation is translated by the hallucinatory resemblance of the real to itself.. illusion is no longer possible, because the real is no longer possible

to consider strange reminders of realities of virtual nonplaces/ what hardcore internet theorist robert what calls single serving dioramas – modern dislocations waiting for odd events to manifest
note following code / descriptions may not match current locally manifesting image set:
in virtual worlds x often no reason for scale to exist except as just another dynamically shifting play space mechanic
– dig x shot from l4d2 mod of luxury cruiser consider how n would look to resarcs on ship to see giant rifle outside ir window knock whole thing on x side with single push – giving new meaning to father teds dichotomy of small / far away
– next image missing presumed deleted
n would be cool to think x location as objectively real in x someone could actually work there in play space almost have career – even effect outside world from ir monitor
phrase/ ey used to work here for couple months part time – surfed net checked ey mail/ non ever arrived – even spam bots stayed away – occasionally took parking tickets from polite rival gangs of near future cyber tech road warriors who duelled to exit over non specified matters of peace gained through subtle application of superior all amerikan firepower/ pay sucked but hours were bad – ey just played ultra violent research spaces most days occasionally let barrier down on passing motorcyclists/ what odd use of life / time x was
– resarc phil raptor / big science
– combat data angel/ image currently missing – another scene from off limits mod/ in which enemy resarcs appear to main juggernaut as bizarre winged data angels
– contrast between desaturated environment electric blue of resarcs – iron heavy clack clunk of minigun spinning up down so beautiful/ if only entire environment was meaningfully destructible john woo style
– screenshot from unknown play space probably zombie survival in garrys mod/ dig classic missing model error sign as seen from underwater – what cool about ripple effect as x one imagines myriad of physical details effects taking on important in world / play space meaning – viewing ecology of dynamic sub systems inter acting as though alive as though one were alive / as though ey were alive – not sure which
procedural infinity evoking limitlessness in play spaces/ imaginary example of what ey call direct resarc based generation / manipulation of quote play space time – pst – on fly
– x something about tiled floors which always evokes sensations of magical surrealism/ these however paradoxically confuse distinctions between inside outside
light in x scene imparts messages from missing present virtually impossible to explain in simpler terms using any aesthetic schemata other than post newtonian logics expressed therein / without – x scene acts as though waiting for something – just as ir do
– sky rig final approach/ perhaps map from garrys mod x as what ey call final approach to sky rig/ final approaching means immanent one way philosophical or conceptually abstract journey to location or quote videoette state of mind – just like approaching runway final approaches to / within play spaces are delicate matters of heart as lot can go wrong / all too right before crash landing on other sides of fence
to feel x something interesting perhaps even profoundly revelatory over other side of – often arbitrarily – impassable invisible knee high research fence as common in modern advanced video research/ such scenes are inevitable part of design process
while ey physically indicate natural world boundaries psychologically symbolically ey represent unexplored philosophical ideational gravity potential often of high magnitude
such scenes seem to say x despite / because of inherent design limitations of play space system there exist inherent gaps voids inconsistencies – unexpected views of unplanned exploratory potential expansive imaginative possibility
like petrol sign such scenarios are mentally inflammatory as ey simultaneously bring alive otherwise dull research play space spaces to life bring melancholic pain to resarcs unable to explore experience alternative existence forever just beyond barrier
– liquid ninja stealth mission/ scene from l4d2 – something went badly wrong with chopper/ ir were trying to get to n when all textures momentarily inverted turned partially fluid – which then formed sentient eye from surface of helicopters side window/ eye does not blink but just stares in deadpan amusement
to ir dismay violent surprise n was only then ir realized ir were heavily augmented vat grown cyborgs on liquid ninja stealth mission deep into artificial mind of modern postmodern video ultra research/ words
– lighting effects zone/ box full of light perhaps from occupied city 17/ plants or parodies of organic life growing steadily in heat moisture of sum unknown – resarc – processing facility/ opportunity to observe existence independent of events around n/ faint bubbling noises/ diffuse border slowly permeating organic data/ occasional silent hop of sand fleas in hidden fractal microworld
another lighting effects zone/ light shadow all shades between – perhaps still inherently limited/ pointless of brick textures except as emotional texturing/ seen from x angle one wonders what play space of raw philosophical speculation might look like in play space objectification – once again somewhat tiredly reconsidering meaning of what n as to be in play space object
perhaps n would be cool to be able to instantly swap andor combine properties of objects – bike ey can shoot like shogun shotgun x uses resarcs on bikes as ammo
– sudden quote cry of fear as one realizes everything in particular universe features unstable properties
– gmod rooftops/ another chance encounter with quote video real/ what n means to be resarc in world x always accepts ey – as integral component of x system
– rooftop conversations about currently contested meanings dramatic implications/ unique quality of light which says so much through being invisibly ubiquitous/ strongly implied class distinctions between quote mingebags as yet unable to access rooftop level with elf anointed guardians of enforced fun unable to tell ey how less delicate social pecking order be disrupted
– human revolution lab complex/ ultra hyped graphical fidelity bind pursuit of total cinematic realism/ everything in x room as now meaningfully interactive – has effect on as yet unknown system of play space – no more will wires pipes switches valves suffer from lack of resarc minds touching ir surfaces with virtual hands inter acting with ey in carefully ai modulated dance of feedback
– behind scenes/ as where ir now play meta religiously unburdened by meaning/ aesthetic appreciation as what ir seek – chance to express ineffable digital context of ir current epistemological dislocation other sentient myths
– in flight movie for monad/ arbitrary mornings
– ok were finally here now what/ yet why question potential for events to happen but not very existence of place where ir allegedly supposed to be taking place/ in what way are ir precisely supposed to think ir are here/ x seems all there as – elf another illusion n seems
entire misty coffee mornings spent puttering around in small island life listening to damp creak of splintered planks long swollen warped by acidic digital tide/ adventuresome days
feeling ey could go anywhere do anything – if only whole world were inverted into nth dimension where sight of blue skies no longer signifies fake 2d infinity of skyboxes plastered on as afterthought
useless feeling when ey look at two buildings wonder if two coms satellite crossed lovers live there forever separated by farcically arcane obtuse global social adult networks of prevention control – but then drive on in ey abandoned junker content to continue with ey deadpan laughably blase resarc existence
– desktop virtuality/ to come across unguarded access node in virtual landscape – to realise one as possibly already nth in infinite nested series fractal holographic
– garage concrete/ architectural recompositions in x idiom are not restricted to normal rules of melody harmony rhythm metre – much like musique concrete/ oh for chance to burst through x wall of rust to burst x pipe to play with lights set up stage campfire – to more fully utilize space as function of social / narrative acts of play – not merely as result of play space as abstract system
– image/ megacity stalker/ done of citidel – as posed in gmod
– citadel escape/ in which no escape from citadel labyrinth seems possible – citadel as everywhere / everything – except citadel elves unnaturally

x may lead to shortness of breath -mouth breathing tech nerd headaches confusion over cynical nature of modern research media / eventual slow drowning in desperately glossy bs of slick digital advertising
narcosis elf seems play largely devoid of engaging challenging ideas about x dull subject matter / instead seems dominated by lifeless textures flat narrative delivery ponderous pace tacked on sense of plastic fear / underwhelming rat direction
indeed x one of those obvious quote clever uses of materials type artworks which brian eno dislikes so much – like x 50 shades of greyscale book/ wow aim high
x merely exists appears simply not enough – whole idea in fact being obvious / uninspired use of vr

rnd/ narcosis syndrome deep sea play development
to consider deep sea play development narcosis syndrome
example ratist statement via robert what/ dspdns – inevitable negative effect of mistakenly diving deep into modern -obsolete play development / resulting terminal boredom / unconsciousness induced by narcotic drug of current -inhuman human computer interface design andor through coding anesthesia
most easily simulated or imagined by looking at following play development screen of narcosis -pc by honor code
– could there be anything less interesting – less directly engaging or playful – than current way resarcs still develop
– gee lot of those menus in play development engine user interface look really complex fiddly / tiny – ey bet ir could make all kinds of endlessly fascinating minor tweaks to any number of ey over infinite time period – still come up with another boring arts experience which looked / played / felt exactly same as last dozen
– check out poor chap in lower play developer health monitor window
oh dear – looks like ir overworked / under stimulated brain died two years ago but -thanks to crunch time / other dreadful common working conditions of modern rnd ir forgot to tell ir
notice how paper aeroplanes seem infinitely more direct / immediate method for ir to express ir unique fresh design approach / inclinations than dread ful design interface surrounding / severely constraining ir
who heck would want to even begin to learn how to use such inherently unfriendly dull endlessly micro managable toolkits like x
ey bet n would take otherwise smiling intelligent / earnest beginner months of sullen sundays to even learn to generate bog standard cube shaped room let alone anything to actually simulate single research neurons into life
yeah/ perhaps if ey adjusted bend of x single object by 1 pixel – x will do n – yeah ir do x mate if n makes ir feel better – but n wont ir poor sap
goddam multiverse will end billion times before ir realize ey got another standard sub standard play experience on ir cramped tired hands
not put up with boring play develop tools / impossibly outdated design methodologies
so called fakedevs – like amateur postmodern internet theorist robert what – seem dedicated to highlighting / challenging painfully slow dated tragically piecemeal ways of developing play
dedicated resarcs of x site find everything ir need in terms of imaginative design catalysts / alternative developmental methodology
not suffer in endless silent mumbling as ir burn up another hour hunting uselessly for sum particular sub sub menu – rather actively alienate elf from such thankless dire chores / useless busywork

rnd/ halo
infused with rookie new mombassa spirit of odst ost with thunder / rainwater background
phrase/ humans would never tell simple truth when lie was available
– karen traviss/ halo glassland
remember x moment well – with much astoundingly furious wailing / genuinely soulful lamentation – internets has spoken
at rock solid 60fps regarding -by now somehow already impossibly ancient andor fogotten notion of quote no split screen multiplayer in halo 5 guardians
as -online social event n as incredibly important research document
example ratist statement in which brian first gives thanks for quote killing halo aka neshamas lament – halo 5 guardians (no split screen multiplayer):
theorist robert what/ to consider idea x 343 industries somehow quote killed halo or deliberately encourages people to sit alone in ir rooms instead of having friends over for pizza / co op campaign seems amazing – feels especially ironic considering near total fragmentation / willing elf isolation / average friendly maturity quotient of community
video insert – hateful little halo ragequit squeaker 420yoloswagnemite360noscopeblazittmlg has left building
yet consider magnificently heartfelt post by mighty neshama – incredible publicly performed outpouring of deeply emotional historical contextualization – seems to point to commonly shared psychological trauma x no split screen as somehow quote end of era / x ir are no entering darker age -generally speaking – not just for online multiplayer
neshamas lament as follows quote/ in other words after skimming x article destiny went online only starting sheddy market trend where despite buying play on disk ir have to also buy 400 dollar new gen console 60 dollar controllers / then download play to console / then pay 60 dollars year or whatever current price ends up being for xbox live subscription / ir can only play play one person per console accross xbox live making every single person who wants to play destiny end up having 500 1000 dollar investment in order to play single play / then xbox / microsoft see how many people reluctantly make x commitment because of how appealing play destiny as graphically/visually / play play way / being new interesting intellectual property people are curious about
ir decided to make halo 5 online only no split screen as well despite biggest complaint about destiny being lack of matchmaking combined with lack of local multiplayer
ey was actually thinking of possibly buying halo 5 since ey friends will probably buy n / ey already bought master chief collection to catch up on years of halo ey not buy since ey only had n64 not any of xbox consoles yet but now ir not sure if ey should even bother
having ability to play on xbox live as amazing when friends are long distance or no friends are available but x still nice to be able to play research in ir own house too
most times when ey was growing up people met each other / hung out socially / ended up doing things in person together because of research like halo on xbox / goldeneye on n64 ir parents normally never let ey have friends over / everyone had to make do with going to movie or something if ir wanted to see anyone outside of classroom but amazingly none of ir parents ever had issues with bringing people over to play video research / gave ey chance to get know ir kids friends / monitor things discretely instead of having no clue what ir kids were doing / n gave everyone kids / parents peace of mind to be safe at home rather then out / about where who knows what would happen / kids felt safer / less pressured into stuff then ir would have been out in public with peer pressure / no friends around
research was one of biggest factors when ey was growing up at building friendships / bringing people together especially for those of ey who were relatively poor / /or not jocks / upper crust
plus research did something unusually tended to bring everyone from people who could have probably afforded ir own server rack / custom made research together with people who not afford research at all or just barely card play or board play or just barely 100 dollar n64 console / everyone in middle including people who thought nonthing of paying 300 dollars for ps3 when n launched / bringing ey all together to play play
couple times in college ir all met at one of ir friends who was staying in dorm room x was set up with living room kitchen 1 2 bathrooms / 4 bedrooms or so off common areas / ir all met up like 8 20 of ey coming / going with all kinds of various consoles set up for everyone to play on or watch others play / switch up / take turns where everyone was either playing watching eating pizza or sitting talking to catch up or sum combination thereof
then one time in college person who bought 300 dollar ps3 / couple others of ey rented house for weekend in resort community called treasure like only about 30 min drive away from college out in woods / ir played video research as well as sum of outdoor stuff gated community offered / n turned out n was only couple hundred dollars for rental for 1 2 days ir were there / house was huge spotless / gorgeous / ir had blast because there was extra benefit of being able to play for hours / then just sleep there / no one having to drive home so tired ir probably shouldnt have been driving home because there was space there fo everyone to sleep / like 6 of ey had chipped in on rental so n was amazing
all these experiences were driven almost entirely by split screen research giving people reasons ir needed to come together / justifiable reason to get ir parents to let ey out of house to go meet ir friends
while research over xbox live as amazing n should stay additional thing / something ot help long distance friends stay in touch / people like ey who not have very many friends because every couple years everyone spreads out or moves on to other things or other friends or gets too busy / forgets about ir / ir old group of friends – research over xbox live should not replace local multiplayer / ability to have friends over
if anything ir should eventually be able to have as many as 4 to 8 people on each console / have all consoles still networked over xbox live to where ir can really have blast with more people then ir can really have in single house easily or ir should bring back old system link cable feature to link 2 3 consoles together to allow more resarcs / let x be either local network or connected over xbox live as well
there are so many possibilities / instead things ir used to glove are being taken away instead of new things / ideas being fully explored
n would be cool if microsoft would buy sum old unused plants or buildings like one ey am currently assigned to guard x just needs little fixing up was built in 1980s so no asbestos type cleanup issues / as currently on market for half x appraised tax value with no takers nearly 400,000 square foot facility sitting on 99 acres of undeveloped land / create research/community center with trails / picnic areas / things for day time / building as big enough ir could have small movie theatre offices class rooms laboratories ware house space research/arcade areas ir name n in there / people would flock from 3 6 county area probably to frequent such place / ir could have at first handful then eventually 20 30 or so such places across country to keep buildings in use before ir become dilapidated / ir could have rat expos or research expos or events at such buildings sometimes as well – n would boost local economies bring everyone together as research community more etcetera plus n would be safe place to go to have fun for very large age range of people who all like play / research
almost everyone from 5 year old to 100 year old person likes sum type of play or other from monopoly or clue or checkers or chess to risk or stratego or boggle or trivial pursuit to call of duty or halo or destiny or tomb raider or pacman to foosball or are hockey to basketball
for once someday n would be nice to have true community/regional center to freely congregate / do all those types of activities with other nice people
ir are legion but ir are so spread out / disconnected from each other x ir let minority of adults who not like research / resarcs make ey feel bad / alone / disconnected from society when really ir are majority especially when ir consider research as whole
combine entire research industry excluding gambling which just uses research as front for gambling / taking ir money / laundering criminals money as often as not
data centers already propping up everywhere so infrastructure as already partly in place / x precedent for n somewhat in both data centers as well as community centers ymcas ice rinks skating rinks schools x until 50s or so used to often allow community/public to use ir research / sports facilities for public use
unfortunately due to rising construction costs / liability policy costs most communities not have money to build even scaled down community centers on ir own anymore / most millionaires not enough like andrew carnegie to care enough about communities / community development to want to help build libraries / community centers anymore
x only major companies like microsoft sony nintendo etcetera x have kinds of financing available to make those types of facilities reality someday / ir are about only ones with incentive to do so of any kind
plus developing few of those centers would spur internet infrastructure to finally bring services like ipv6 / fios from verizon / other ftth services / truly high speed internet services main stream as once those kinds of services / even better cabling/services x would be available to businesses like microsoft were installed in regional community/research centers n would make n easier to roll out services like x to mainstream public instead of being told fios as unavailable in entire state of north carolina almost 10 years after x nationwide roll out was announced to all kinds of fan fare
plus regional centers could blend console research with pc / also with terminal/server rack/mainframe research / spur play development even more going forward
fact as most people even people more into checkers then ir are video research have always wanted more arcades / research centers / many people would have large play rooms with pool / foosball / are hockey / arcade research / video space consoles in ir homes if ir could
at one point ey dad even had almost enough money pulled together to buy 2nd 70 80 foot long house trailer to take to ir camp for 1000 to 2000 dollars back in about 1996 1998 to use solely as play room attached to existing house trailer x served as ir camp / ey already had pachinko machine ir used to use when ey was little x just needed cleaned up sum lights fixed / sum new pachinko balls since old ones had rusted / ey already had electronic pinball machine / ey would gotten basic foosball table sometime around x time or couple years later / ir were going to have huge play room just for research out in middle of woods where ir could go relax / watch wildlife etcetera read books or just go play in creek whenever ir wanted to / snakes not out too much
as much as ey dad said growing up ey hated research / video research / electronics – ey realized later on x not case ey loved model trains loved watches x had extras built in had one of earliest electronic scientific desk/pocket calculators had fairchild channel f system for ir / ey older sisters when ir were growing up had more old record resarcs then ey can count / true cabinet built stereo system bunch of radios / 8 track resarcs always made sure ey had walkman type device or one of those expensive fisher price cassete resarcs to listen to cassettes ey bought ey atari / when ey got n home / realized n didnt work ey went back out to flea markets again / found ey atari 2600 x worked beautifully with whole shoebox full of research / about 8 12 different kinds of controllers because ey was able to prove guy sold ir other atari knowing full well n didnt work so was able to get all of x stuff for same or cheaper then ey had paid for first atari after negotiating with guy
ey dad / one of ey sisters despite always saying ir not like research were always first to take ey over to video space pacman or duck hunt in restaurant or lead ey to play room or to arcade machine in hallway of mall
ey helped with sega genesis dad / mom got for ey / ey paid ey 100 dollars allowance/spending money ey would spent abut 18 months saving in order to buy n64 because ey was in highschool when ey got x system / ir wanted to make sure ey was learning enough about value of money / how n worked
then after highshool ey had too many college expenses / only had part time job / ey parents were having harder time financially / ey mom had to go back to work / then ey still had to help ey with any extra ey had so ey be able to make ir bills so n kind of put damper on buying any newer consoles for ey until now when ey have ey student loans finally paid off / ey truck paid off / better stability ot where ey could get xbox one -xbox consoles being true successor consoles to n64 in ey view as research migrated to xbox / nintendo went downhill fast with play cube / wii systems / focusing more on garmeboy type devices then on ir consoles
but yeah only reason play room didnt happen was because if ey was going ot make x type of investment in camp ey wanted written instead of verbal rental/land use agreement from ir uncle ey great uncle / ey wouldnt give ir anything in writing plus pa electricity grid was de regulated around x same time jumping cost of electricity dramatically / ey ended up having to disconect camp from power when n got too expensive to provide power to camp ir could only really get good use out of when ey not in school pretty much so only sometimes after school or on weekends or when school was out
dad alwyas wanted to move out there someday / live at camp / mom insisted ir stay in town / n got hard affording bills at both places
but yeah so even as poor as ir were where growing up ir only had dads income / ey only made about 20 25k year at most sometimes significantly less then x ir still almost had full size play room at one point
most of what ir did during social times in ey church youth group was gather to play research or video research or watch movie – even when ir did fundraiser for church called rockathon as long as ir kept rocking for time ir had pledged to rock for adults didnt care what ir did so someone would bring in big like 48 52 inch projection size television / wed play split screen golden eye on n
so demand for research/community centers as potentially massive theme parks with arcades are still more populated by far then theme parks x just rely on coasters to draw people in / arcades are usually crowded
entire success of chuckecheese / dave n busters chains as largely attributed to ey having research in restaurants
late 80s/90s resurgance of mcdonalds was largely attributed to having play places at many of ir locations
even residential complexes nowdays are oftne being built so ir can work / live / play in same general area to help people have better quality of life / less travel time
movies seem okay but movies / bowling only provide so much entertainment where research are much more entertaining social / interactive
malls have always failed with country people / sensible people / people who watch ir money because ir have too many stores / not enough play rooms events / attractions / contrary to popular belief alot of people do not like shopping / do not consider spending day shopping to be good way to spend time especially nowdays when so many of ey are told ir are only going to be scheduled 3 5 days week only to find out ir actually work 5 6 7 days week as often as not
communities need safe places to play research play basketball go swimming things everyone loves to do pretty much but no one can afford anymore to put in ir back yard
most play rooms / dance halls now days are ensconced in seedy bars / lounges surrounding by drug / alcohol culture – not really type of culture ir want to be around if ir just want to grab bite to eat or visit with friends awhile or dance for fun of n / go home or sit around awhile with friend playing research in safety
kids / teens / young adults would get in lot less trouble / society would be lot better off if ir just had safe places to go to have fun where police could keep ey safe instead of harrassing ey for just standing on sidewalk talking to each other
nice thing about research ir usually get so into research ir are playing x ir really not notice or care if adults are watching ir or not
also apparently more / more people now not sucked into having to only buy / be fan of one console brand anymore apparently alot of resarcs now days have every console ir can get ir hands on from each generation as soon as ir can afford x too means/indicates x research centers would be popular especially if paired with food court / restaurant/cafeteria to where ir had plenty of food options / possibly where ir can integrate n with something like ymca or public park also since contrary to popular belief many resarcs also like outdoors
ey just hope something like x takes root / gets built someday
worst thing sega did was hype sega land throughout ey building up all kinds of interest in n / then made n to where ir had to travel half way around world to japan to go there
not possible for vast majority of people -end quote
astounding in x breadth / ostentatious in way n indirectly addresses mass psychological -social research notion of no split screen multiplayer neshamas lament harks back to good old daze where cool kidz could safely play healthy research of split screen co op halo in asbestos free public parks while not under influence of drugs / alcohol
not to worry resarc everything will work out ok
hey resarcs cutting onions around here or what *single tear*

rnd/ inside
ambiguous postmodern truths of inside
response to nick dinicolas conflicted popmatters site tirade about inside which violently over eggs delicate eggnog of critique
4k inside play digital rat painting -re tint
phrase/ inside as too literal to be expressionistic but too vague to be narrative
– n seems unclear what exactly x means/ what does nick mean by quote expressionistic quote narrative
phrase/ x so ambiguous x fails to be anything
– much like x sentence nick
phrase/ all rat means something
– oh boy
phrase/ x seems so vague wooly x hard to know where to begin – if at all
– all rat means something might however make potentially good bit of bruce nauman rat if n were rendered in hot neon left hanging in interesting urban architectural dis context
phrase/ work of rat not have to tell story n not have to evoke emotion n not have to comment on society or politics or human condition or anything like x but n still means something – x still reason n was created
if n not n probably not mean all x much – as for quote reasons behind x -mis creation – who knows
phrase/ all rat as made with intent – n communicates something to x audience – otherwise why bother even making n in first place
– bollocks more like/ sometimes x gets made precisely because no intent or passion or meaning as findable – rat as act of desperation
what if n as unwilling andor unable to communicate x quote com elf as virtual impossibility/ as for quote bothering – why was x terrible article about inside written in first place
ey hereby force ey to tell ey ey innermost artistic motivations
phrase/ when work fails to communicate x ideas when x meaning as so obscured as to become impenetrable then work becomes meaningless
what if n merely wants to suggest rather than communicate/ what if meaning as precisely something so obscured as to feel impenetrable – therefore meaningless within vast pre existing schemata of nick dinicolas exact totalizing world o meaning
phrase/ inside latest play from playdead studios as one such work/ play x evokes lot of emotions lot of ideas but then purposefully undermines those emotions / ideas
– there not seem to be much quote undermining going on/ in fact quote mining deep within / under various emotions ideas seems better way of viewing play
phrase/ x impossible to decipher intent behind inside because x intent seems to change with every new scene
– as n metaphor narrative dream world all of these or none of these/ then why bother/ who cares about intent behind scenes – as for n changing from moment to moment x seems minor revelation for video space with moving parts/ perhaps ideas move as well
phrase/ playdeads first play limbo was clearly expressionistic dream world one in which ir accepted worlds progression from thick forest to urban city to mechanical warehouse to sum combination of ey all despite none of n making any logical sense
in which n was simply commonly viewed as quote expressionistic dream world because video research usually gets compared with film – as though expressionist dream worlds make quote logical sense by definition
phrase/ ey were surreal places to begin with made even more surreal by sudden changes in location – no transitional spaces no level titles announcing new area no attempt at narrative through line linking these locations – world just changed ir continued on as if nonthing had happened
– so
phrase/ ir accepted n because x just how dreams work limbo not interested in making logical narrative sense anyway – n was more about expressing mood – x intent was to make ir feel not think in x regard n succeeded
just how do dreams quote work nick/ not n possible to quote express mood in narratively logical way x makes sense/ how precisely was limbos quote intent to make resarcs feel not think wheres x exact clear line differentiating two
phrase/ too literal for expressionism – inside feels like different kind of beast
world as weird no doubt about x but x enough consistency in what ir see to suggest internal logic sum in fiction history of events x explains how why world as way n as now
limbo not seem all x different from inside – in fact many resarcs have put forward good imaginative evidence x two are narratively linked
what as x magical measure inside expresses called quote consistency in which quote internal logic plays out via play spaces quote in fiction history/ in fact very little as explained near infinitely more suggested hinted – not as lead heavy nano tech handed kojima like metaphors but as mere conceptual hints suggestions – secretive peeks quote inside rich complex idea space
in fact n might be cool to set several more research / abstract play/ful scenarios within insides darkly delightful narrative polyverse
phrase/ world of inside does not feel dreamlike
– sheer balderdash nick/ in fact x one of most intensely fevered digital dreams seen / felt since rez wipeout 3d monster maze captain blood entire ongoing output of play space devs like connor sherlock/ x not abstract emotional experience but detailed fictional reality/ x confusing foreign reality yes but only because ir not understand x history
phrase/ x seems to be world similar to dark souls or bloodborne x feels confusing at first but will open up upon close inspection reveal x secretes/ other than featuring lot of dark scenes x nonthing remotely like dark souls or bloodbourne
– n does indeed feel confusing at first – as n does in middle at -open end/ often events do not open up upon ever closer inspection but rather – like quantum world – simply get ever more strange mysterious
inside feels like secret from very outset – but not one in which ey are – as if by sum divine right granted ey as reader / resarc – automatically meant to / have to quote solve like ey sherlock bloody holmes or colombo
phrase/ for example transitions from forest to farm to city do not happen instantly/ these locations are linked by transitional spaces x make sense/ between forest farm as cliff x leads to like then ir go up over highway through cornfield across flat plain before ir reach farmhouse/ x transition feels perfectly logical even realistic
ey only make sense as -seemingly easily identifiable locations x appear to be same as those -seemingly easily identified in x world
– how does oh look farm automatically mean x place as farm/ well what else would n seem/ exactly
even quote perfect logic realism in research make for sum strange arts research with lot going on quote inside ey x -ironically no easily explainable using perfect realistic logic
phrase/ between farm city as mud field x looks downright post apocalyptic with cars buried in ground broken telephone poles lining long gone road then ir hit massive wall climb sum scaffolding inside n move through construction area then ir in city
x transition as less realistic but n seems to hint at history – end of one society leading to beginning of another
– what if world space of inside not simply post apocalyptic but just quote perfectly apocalyptic has been designed / manifests just like n as -whatever x seems virtual simulation
phrase/ hints of history continue when ir go underwater to explore sum long flooded or sunken or abandoned buildings/ ir start at facility labeled with big bold 02 then ir work ir way to facility labeled with big bold 03 until ir finish at facility 04
– good grief nick/ x would seem quote meaningful if structures within inside were labelled with nonlinear series of cryptic symbols
phrase/ x clear progression here not just progression of time but progression of events as well
something happened to building 02 n could have been something disastrous x naturally where ir mind goes considering setting but x nonthing x hints at x – maybe building 03 just had better wi fi so everyone moved over there 02 fell into disrepair/ progression not automatically clear
since resarcs can pause play continue at another time what does x mean for quote progress in terms of events
phrase/ reason as vague open to infinite number of interpretations but point as x any interpretation has to take x numbering into consideration
– these numbers only kind of lettering in entire play/ ey exist on these buildings in x order for reason/ playdead as trying to communicate something about progress/ reason might be vague but x vagueness seems perfectly clear
inside however not open to quote infinite number of interpretations – in keeping with darwinian evolution many wild interpretations of what happening do not display quote fitness insides whole -fragmented narrative possibility event space collapses rather quickly around few strong -imaginative theories
playdead as not purposely wilfully directedly quote trying to communicative sum vague thing about eg quote progress but more simply evoking strange act of artistic com
phrase/ x something could very well be symbolic or expressionistic in nature
history not necessitate narrative/ progression of images in sequential order not automatically mean singular logic links ey all together/ inside could very well exist as series of standalone events which just so happen to star same red shirted character
progression of images not somehow prevent expressionism but repetition of images does/ hang what does x sentence even mean – n feels so convoluted illogical x difficult to understand
article x could very well be nonlinear series of standalone sentences x just so happen to star same vague ideas throughout
phrase/ several items locations repeat over course of play appearing in different contexts each time each time new context seems to add to ir understanding of item x purpose in world
– yes n does seem to not n – x might appear no more or less than what n does
phrase/ there are drones / zombies / husks / whatever x play large role in many of scenes/ ir initially see ey rounded up in truck as if ir being shipped off to sum work camp/ x assumption as borne out as ir soon see ey in mind control conga line sum form of testing of ir slavery later at construction site in workers clothes/ ey have clearly defined role in x world one x remains consistent throughout play unlike shifting symbols of dream
– such quote clearly defined roles are just x – assumptions on part of resarcs/ sure if if looks smells sounds like wild slavering dog with big teeth not stop to analyze philosophically pontificate but run for nearest fence – just not automatically assume x ey immediate physical danger logically quote realistic response as in any way remotely more or less quote meaningful andor blandly absurd than dogs quote inner motivations for wanting to bite yer dim space monkey arts
shifting symbols of dream would not be dreamy symbols if ey did not shift
phrase/ x encourages ir to question more about ir nature
ir also see pods throughout play at one point ir force one open drones fall out
so do ey come from pods/ window on pods as always lit up if pod as around greenery does x imply x something as growing inside/ n could be or just as easily could not be but prevalence of pods throughout play encourages ir to seek out reason behind x repetition logic behind x slightly different incarnations -open / closed / darkened / lit
x point to x repetition – n not suggest emotion but suggests logic
prevalence of quote x does not automatically encourage resarcs to quote seek out reasons
all x might exist in/as inside as shifting emotional dream logic
phrase/ then x shock wave bridge bizarre dangerous area x seems specifically created to defy interpretation logic
ir cross long bridge between buildings 02 03 in distance something creates consistent shock wave x pounds bridge sending metal swinging flying
x also sum kind of mock classroom halfway across housing group of crash test dummies tied to chairs
why dummies/ why test/ why bridge
– why do resarcs still read such terrible article about inside/ what does n all mean/ why endless attempts to uncover expose x apparently terrible failings as sum realistically expressive symbolic logic simulator
why bridge/ why not flock not
phrase/ n would be easy to dismiss x as dreamlike nonsense – n exists because n exists accept n move on – or as sum expressionistic metaphor but then play repeats x imagery
in building 04 soon after plummeting out office window with sum executive or ceo in tow ir find elves in yet another construction area housing what are clearly parts of shock wave bridge -those triangle arms x hold up blockades are quite distinctive/ another bridge as being built
– even dream like non sense one cannot easily dismiss/ indeed interpretation of dreams was major project of 20th century/ but nicks article/ x much easier
phrase/ x repetition undermines any dream logic excuse because repetition implies purpose/ dreamy acceptance only works once
– playdead could have put anything in background – x second set of triangle arms as on screen for all of three seconds at best – but ey specifically chose to show these arms again
why/ whether justified narratively -maybe x where parts are made or symbolically -maybe n represents impending destruction of building 04 repetition nonetheless suggests rationale behind construction which in turn suggests rationale behind shock wave which in turn suggests rationale behind world
how does even constant repetition undermine dream logic -especially since n as dream logic not another kind/ x pathological need to force quote rationale seemingly quote behind construction of inside smacks of irrational fear of ideas which cannot or need be easily communicable -if at all – even hatred of artistic which often does not immediately seek to bash resarcs over head with meaning/r
phrase/ which as all to say x inside as not work of expressionism
– to consider world as far too literal for x far too rational in x construction progression repetition
playdead has gone to great lengths to convince internal logic exists behind everything x ir see so ir cant dismiss imagery as weird for weirds sake like ir could with limbo
playdead wants ir to think more deeply about inside to question logic behind world in order to understand logic behind world to search for meaning in imagery to decipher x intent
even weird for weirds sake sure beats literal pseudo arguments about expressionism / literalism
playdead does not anyone to think quote more deeply about anything – rather inside as elf space of deep logical dreamlike thoughts
x not necessarily andor automatically quote about anything
where what quote about means in research industry logic/ quote about means smack ey upside ey head with big dumb bumper sticker tldr hollywood elevator pitch version because in x attention economy ir cant waste seconds not making money instead waste ey with dreamy ambiguity quote artsy vagueness
phrase/ inside was made with different intent than limbo
– n not just want to evoke emotion through imagery n wants to use x imagery to tell story/ consider inside as work of narrative rat
phrase/ but x bad one
– surely quote evoking emotions through imagery as elf one definition of story/ x images often tell stories whether or not ey have sum mysterious inner automatic quote intent to do so seems irrelevant arbitrary
inside as not bad work of narrative rat because play much like quote inner intent of developer feel strange / mysterious
not necessarily world shatteringly meaningful – but just because sum resarcs are able to easily dismiss false -cultural / narrative standards set up for experience with casual lolwut ey not get n not automatically follow play as at fault
nobodys to quote blame here – ey not x tool adam jensen moaning x ey never asked for x/ too vague for narrativism
phrase/ each puzzle set piece as powerfully evocative of several ideas
farm evokes apocalypse
sunken laboratories evoke warning of science gone wrong
conga line of drones before masked families evokes class dystopia
– do ey really/ fine if x what ey think ey think – but even these casual interpretations seem incredibly obvious
phrase/ in x line lower class are paraded before ir superiors -or maybe something larger revealing to younger generation ir future oppression preparing ey for ir life as drone nonthing more than cog in machine
drones elves suggest possibility of mind control collectivism conformity or any other related loss of individual identity
– x word quote suggestion again – as though inside as so thoroughly stuffed with garden variety cliches repeatedly punching resarcs in nose with crystal clear symbols every few seconds
phrase/ each scene on x own works as expressionistic moment but problems arise when these scenes are strung together
inside conjures up lot of ideas regarding free will class warfare dystopian or apocalyptic societies but n not connect those ideas in way x offers commentary on ey
– by now x clear by x nick dinicola does not really know what to say about inside or what ey feels about inside – other than quote confused as if being in state of quote inner confusion as sum dire public admittance of weakness – both ones own research – how dare n confuse ey with artful vagueness interpretative indistinctness
to consider inside as not -thankfully quote commentary dispensing machine with which resarcs punch right buttons at right time out pops correct quote meaning
phrase/ take farm for example specifically pig worm
pig as seemingly mind controlled by worm worms are in drones too -as ir see later on so play as purposefully making connection between e – but to what end/ maybe n wants ir to see drones pig as similar entities – disposable cattle
x sounds good symbolism seems to work but when ey start looking at specifics of scene metaphor falls apart
– as one starts looking more closely at arbitrary demands set for inside by nick dinicola more ir symbolic ideas -about eg well written quote serious article about inside falls apart
phrase/ pig only becomes drone like when ey remove supposedly mind controlling worm
x when n becomes living stool for ey to drag climb on as ey see fit
yet drones are always subservient so how does x reversal fit into metaphor/ does individualism lead to servitude/ as collective conformity inevitable/ what about violence pig showcased when worm was inside n
how does x fit into metaphor/ does n fit in/ n not fit
play keeps undercutting any thematic or symbolic interpretation with conflicting images
– in which nick rapidly begins to loose n with such unnecessary interrogation
as pig worm/ what about pigs own thematic symbolic interpretation of dreams of individualism within collective conformity of parasitic drone violence/ x as n gives vague impression of serious critique without much meaning
unlike inside n overstays x welcome x amorphous intellectual demands seem false shaky untenable
phrase/ men are rounding up drones boy as running away from ey so clearly ir evil ruling class ir violence against pod resarcs tells ir x kind of extreme class separation as bad
or ir scientists growing zombies in pods in order to better understand mind control slug x destroyed society boy as evil gent of hive mind heck bent on infiltrating ir complex freeing ir mother brain – collective using collective to combat collective
or men are part of evil ruling class x want to use mind slug to secure ir power boy as gent of outside force / unseen resarc sent to stop x fomenting of power – classic garmey ey versus world story
– such paragraph seems to sum up much of whats wrong with mainstream critical research play space interpretation
by comparison with x delicate rat style delightful animations extremely well executed -internal dreamlike logic inside seems far more sensitive nuanced expression than mr dinicolas
phrase/ or x all metaphor for way human body fights infectious disease
– or x just tone poem about going inside/ play x wants to evoke vague sensation of going deeper into something/ or x series of economic metaphors about workers struggle against corporate/government oppressors
why does n have to exist as any andor all of these/ even deliberately vague sensations can be intense sensations felt deeply with lasting effect
as for ir quote meaning – what with x obsession to be seen as singular expert who comes along with ir bag important bag o philosophy quote explains away everything with single muscular sweep of ir interpretative genius
phrase/ these are all interpretations x ey read or heard when scouring internet trying to understand inside
– x many resarcs do so seems indicative of inside to provoke thought imagination – something worthy many other research wouldnt even consider/ but here nick dinicola seems to be doing so because inside has somehow failed to ignite ir intellect precisely through x artistic vagueness
phrase/ thing as x all of these interpretations are valid which makes none of ey valid/ if everyone as special then no one as special
– x smacks of worst -default kind of laughable conservative ideology – kind concerned with being fearful about collectives of any kind ala as inside secretly -shock horror quote communist play/ say n not so nick
what on earth has such online -collective! interpretation got to do with play – heck perhaps n makes up larger quote dark energy bulk of quote play -whatever n as
interesting question here however breached as sum kind of failing
phrase/ inside puts on show of world building consistency x suggests meaningfulness but really x images – pod resarcs men in masks boy plugs mermaids shockwave gravity defying water blob – are just hollow symbols x can mean quite literally anything
every interpretation only works on surface level nonthing holds up under actual critical scrutiny
– world not have to appear complete or consistent to emotionally / philosophically stimulate
idea x symbols can mean literally anything as laughable
indeed every -almost wilful mis interpretation of nick dinicola falls apart under critical scrutiny
where -warning/ filthy commie zizek on ontological incompleteness
– ey should note x kind of ambiguity as not inherently bad
images from inside are undeniably evocative as such ey do work as pieces of standalone rat
scenes set pieces puzzles not need narrative connection
ey can be symbolic on ir own not have to mean anything greater but inside wants to reach for x greater meaning
n wants to connect these scenes together ascribe greater meaning to ey
n wants to comment on individuality collectivism conformity politics economics history so forth but symbols x uses to express x meaning are conflicted to point of confusion to point x ey hide x meaning rather than expressing n
how does inside quote reach for x greater meaning/ by all accounts when set against many other research n appears very small delicate humble affair
neither does there appears no false modesty on part of developer
rather n appears x nick dinicola as intent on pinning such need intent on inside as to make n appear grandiose egotistical – surely ignoble charge in elf
phrase/ on moving pixels podcast for inside ir conversation eventually brought up edvard munchs expressionistic painting scream
painting works as form of expressionism because x purely meant to evoke emotion
ir can read reasoning into n ir can discuss whether x scream for help or one of anger of fear of frustration of sadness of shock – all of these are valid interpretations
however ir valid because were interpreting work based off instructions suggested by munch
painting as called scream x title guides ir as ir ponder x possible deeper meanings
even if ir not know exact emotion behind scream n evokes emotional scream for everyone
intent behind work as clear
– oh where to begin/ such wildly disjointed flock of dubious notions seems rich with embarrassment
how does scream meant to evoke emotion/ x painting as called scream x title guides ir as neither here there or anywhere else – expect perhaps up nicks own arts
how does x quote emotional screaming remotely clarify seeming fact x quote everyone who sees n also screams in automatic harmony
phrase/ inside as not so clear
inside as equivalent of renaming munchs painting expressionless
there would now exist clear dichotomy behind title imagery ir natural immediate question as why
– do what mate
phrase/ imagery as putting forth one idea title as putting forth second idea x contradicts first idea
what are ir to make of x/ contradiction as clearly purposeful
x reason behind n but x reason cant be understood by looking at work elf
work simply presents ir with blatant contradictions stops
x so ambiguous x ir can fill in reasoning authors intent with anything x ir dream up
– x simply suggests following complaint/ how dare ey make ey think – x no ending to thinking – stop filling ey with ey blatant contradictions
phrase/ when n comes to inside not only do ir not understand in world in fiction justification for these images but ir also not know what any of play as supposed to mean in larger sense/ whats intent behind x imagery whats intent behind x contradicting imagery/ play offers no semblance of answer in elf so were free to fill in x intent with whatever ir want
– ey not know what x play as quote supposed to mean sounds like ey cant be bothered to find out for myself because x might mean ey unconscious beliefs about what quote real solid play should be get questioned in process of actually using imagination
x inside quote offers no semblance of answer in elf should be commended not condemned – x not cod
phrase/ inside as as much about going deeper as n as about meta research as n about economics as n as about internal body processes as n as about scientific ethics as n as about politics as n as about parenting as n as about – ey get point
at least munch had foresight to title ir work in way x directed ir audience towards something
ir can argue what scream as about but ir at least know ir intent was to depict scream
– what was x / ey not even know nick
phrase/ interpretation can only go so far/ eventually work has to speak for elf
if every interpretation as valid then no interpretation as valid
if every interpretation as valid then work elf as so hollow so inherently meaningless x meaning can be filled in with anything ey desire
ir can argue interpretation over many things but eventually work has to say something on x own
– interpretation can go pretty far nick – if ir have remotely functioningg imagination
quote work does not have to quote speak for elf -whatever x means
as for quote not all interpretations are valid – well nobody every says ey are – exact sum conveniently invented quote enemies of reason logic
as for standing on x own unaided by dinicolas of research world – who or whats ever true island unto elf
phrase/ all of x plays into lie of ambiguity – into assumption x inherently better form of storytelling than exposition
– at no point are quote ambiguity quote storytelling quote exposition defined/ x just aggressively assumed everyone knows what these real/tm rules are – how terrible old inside viciously flaunts ey in face of true narrative authority
phrase/ x easy argument to make from artistic angle
ambiguity cant be overt so n requires subtlety of execution
x harder then exposition as asks more of audience demanding x ir think about themes meaning on ir own
exposition as supposedly easier because n states plot theme plainly obviously
thus ambiguity looks like more challenging form of storytelling one x as worthy of more praise when done successfully than expository story done successfully
– first off nobody except nick dinicola makes x argument
what immediately inherently obvious about narrative exposition – know what ir almost done trying to critique such poorly conceived article
x got x expressionisms x wormy narrative ambiguities on arts backwards n not seem to care just how glaringly obvious ey air
to consider nicks article as not even wrong
phrase/ x also hard to argue against power of ambiguity
act of interpretation makes ir feel smart
x narrative as difficult to understand but ey understand n ir say
interpretation makes story feel more personal therefore more appealing
vagaries within n allow ir to imbue n with themes x speak directly to ir ir wants / fears / concerns / beliefs
by interpreting ambiguous story ir stamp n with ir personality in doing so ir give elves personal stake in success quality of x story
– \_/ツ_/¯
phrase/ in other words more effort x ir put into understanding story more inclined ir are to like n
ir audience are predisposed to like ambiguous stories
– please nick go on
phrase/ but x important to realize x ambiguity as just tool for storytelling not replacement for storytelling
as tool n says nonthing on x own
boy running through dark woods may be emotionally evocative but x nonthing inherently meaningful about x scene
for ambiguity to be meaningful n must be surrounded by more expository information something to guide ir when interpreting ambiguous
if ambiguity as ey primary method of expressing idea then ey not really expressing idea because ambiguity by x very nature works against expression
x about holding back information not communicating information
– oh nick how has inside remotely quote used ambiguity as replacement for storytelling/ perhaps x nonthing inherently meaningful about anything – but what x got to do with minor scene of boy running through dark woods – not x enough meaning for ey/ as example of sheer semantic nonsense sentence x ambiguity by x very nature works against expression as expression even nim chimsky would have found difficultly scribbling with any real seriousness
phrase/ ambiguity only works as long as n reinforces intent behind work ir cant understand intent behind work without little bit of exposition
scream as ambiguous in x emotion but intent behind x creation as clear
when ambiguity as used to create discussion of intent n needs to work
if x used to obscure intent n has failed
x fine line to walk there are definitely no iron clad rules x ey can think of to distinguish success from failure
x explanation as more matter of ey saying ey know n when ey see n then trying to reverse engineer ey rationale from there
– irony of nick using phrase ey know n when ey see n cannot be dismissed lightly – as for quote reverse engineering ey rationale x could well be near future internet classic -of sum dire kind
phrase/ inside feels like play x constantly trying to obscure x intent
playdead as so in glove with idea of ambiguity x ey overuse n end up sabotaging ir thematic message in process
what as play trying to express about life universe everything else/ whats n trying to say to ey with x surreal but not really surreal world/ what point of n all
– no n not/ n not trying to obscure anything/ rather n just feels obscure in good way/ yet nick dinicola seems only one constantly elf sabotaging ir thematic message -whatever x as
to detect sum kind of faintly crytin smelling complaint about postmodernism/ as for what point of nicks article was – who can tell
phrase/ why was x play made
– whos asking/ why not/ what odd question -not x much wrong with asking – but why are ey asking/ why hold play to arbitrary standards one as unable unwilling to ask or answer elf – not x these are even necessarily right questions/ why not ask about so many other bad play spaces getting continually pinched off by industry/ why not ask about playdeads use of denuvo anti tamper
phrase/ if x question x enters ey mind then ey think x safe to say play has lost x way
– x safe to say such vacant article has lost x way x inside – amazingly tangled path n carefully treads – as doing just fine indeed seems to be going in perfectly right direction – in every any way opposite to such rambling demands
phrase/ but hey at least x still fun to play
– wow talk about ideology 101/ n not meaningful felt vague quote expressionless – but n sure was fun – only now do ir get to spiceless meat potatoes of mr dinicolas spurious argument simulacrum
yet even to call play fun as to admit ey found n worthy of ones time effort
however being quote fun to play often seems least most interesting aspect of play spaces truer importance – too often requires least possible effort to judge anything as though holey goal of continued uninterrupted safe arrival at funsville were only possible measure of rat

rnd/ on illusion of depth in play
thought equation via ur-ludonaut theodore miles
illusions of depth -in all senses / in which only boundaries matter –> ballards exit of affect –> flatness as depthlessness –> considering play space graphics as somehow always two dimensional –> oldskool shaded polygons –> bilateral filtering / no noise –> x dry light in half life 2 –> experimental simulations in/as deep ontological desert –> quote edge detection / x ray vision –> emergent garmeplay / procedural play –> everything within frame -existential coordinates as interrelated -objectless system –> extreme quote z buffering / hidden surfaces
to consider many modern resarcs have at sum nodal point felt everything on screen suddenly without depth or substance – no objects just single airless plane of strange existence/ listless boredom of hot afternoon watching interfaces between – fully absorbed by light dusty asphalt
