>Your tastes are pretty dilletantish OP.
Yeah, what I posted seems really bland. Tetris, Bach, Bible are all so beginner-tier. It's just that, the more you go deep, sometimes the more you want to come back to the surface.
There's a reason why these entry-tier things are so beloved and held as universally good. I know they are generic in a certain way, but at the end of the day, the more you know, the more you end up appreciating the universal. I could argue over other niches I enjoy, but I wanted to sound as genuine and honest as possible and not pretentious.
Godspeed.

I respectfully disagree, I mean I love the Beatles, I think they're great. But I wouldn't say GOAT personally.
However I could be wrong: Maybe the Kardashian-KatyPerry era has made me awfully suspicious of anything that attains popularity, that people are conditioned to like things through socialization or social proof rather than a "resonance" between the perspective of the author of a work and a kind of experiential and existential alchemy that happens in finding some resonance with a kindred spirit or which blows open the confines of one's own experience of the world, which I always assumed was the truest form of aesthetic appreciation.
Logan Barnes
The Beatles will still be played in 100 years, ch ut the Kardashians and Katie Perry will fall into the garbage heap the same way Britney Spears and Madonna have.
Colton Edwards

What even makes you think that the Beatles will be played in 100 years' time? It's much possible they won't. Stefan Zweig was the most read writer of the 20th Century leading to the Second World War, now nobody knows even his name.

Yeah. I just can't stand this game. It's so beautiful, but the gameplay is just so bad and everything so slow-paced. It's awful, the only thing that it's got going for it is the graphics, nothing more.
Adrian Miller
Sorry to hear that, I guess it isn't for everyone. It was the first game that convinced me video games could be considered art. I wouldn't know about gameplay since I thought New Vegas had good shooting mechanics but the story and graphics just made me fall in love with it.
Adrian Campbell
Agreed, I feel The Beatles are pure sensationalized shit.
Nathan Lee
>It was the first game that convinced me video games could be considered art.
Have you ever played Bloodborne? Now, THAT's art. Everything is so beautiful and so intrinsically art-like it's the best case for games to be considered an artform. Even the FANART is great.

Kayden Ramirez
i don think the bible is fiction but its clear it isnt from a consistent source and has been tampered with throughout the years. Read the Quran and the style is so consistent and impeccable that I became convinced it couldnt have been written by one man in the course of 13 years. You'll see verses referencing other verses that haven't been revealed yet, its incredible but it was difficult to first read because some translations were weird. Recommend Al-Quran app with tafsir
Jace Fisher
I have! I love Gothic architecture and I'm a little read on Lovecraft so it drew me in immediately. The art direction was astoundingly beautiful all-around. I actually bought the PS4 just so I could play it myself after a friend let me play it on his. Its so atmospheric I forgot I was playing a game at times.
Andrew Stewart
The Quran was literally plagiarized from the Bible and the Torah, fuck off Mohamed.
Jacob Taylor
>Its so atmospheric I forgot I was playing a game at times.
Yeah. It's REALLY atmospheric. Playing it on a dark room, with a big screen and with good headphones (the sounds and music are also great and honestly scary) is fucking incredible. I regret having given my PS4 away tremendously now that I think about it.

You don't hang around with enough normies (which isn't a bad thing, obviously) because people still go fucking crazy for Oops I didn't again and Like a Virgin. It's awful.
>Stefan Zweig was the most read writer of the 20th Century leading to the Second World War, now nobody knows even his name.
Sometimes the greatest of an artist is context and time dependent, having said that - Grand Hotel Budapest is a major, iconic motion picture from the last 5 years which is a pastiche of his work.
Adrian Phillips
When I said "which isn't a bad thing" I realized that was phrased badly.
I mean you don't hang out with enough normies - it is a GOOD thing too that you don't hang out with enough normies. You are hanging out with a acceptable amount of normies, which is small to none.
Avoiding normies is good is what I'm trying to say.

Why are you posting PRADA advertisement? Are you shilling them or is it just because you like that sort of Pop Art?
>Grand Hotel Budapest is a major, iconic motion picture from the last 5 years which is a pastiche of his work.
It's a really good movie, but I can't imagine myself rewatching that movie more than once. The cinematography is amazing, everything is beautiful and feels nice to see, the colors are good, the use of the screen ratio creative and innovative, and overral gorgeous, but the movie itself is not that fun to watch after you've seen once. I can't see myself rewatching it.

That's her. Her art is very abstract and as a child (was about 11-12) I found it very intriguing. Made me realize that things can be interpreted in so many different ways.

>I can't see myself rewatching it.
Kind of off the point though, I brought it up to kind of ask about the significance and ongoing appeal of Stephan Zweig today. Just in case I haven't made myself clear I'm suspicious of there being any sort of correlation between "universally popular' and the quality of the art, I'm aware that this opens up the door to arguments about elitism or even pretentiousness - that a organic appreciation and aesthetic joy from a work isn't the reason to laud it but it becomes a sort of social signifier, or even an internal, identification of self thing. I was noting that Stephan Zweig is obviously enduring enough to have inspired a major Hollywood motion picture that is held in some regard by a segment of the general public, therefore he's not forgotten. At the same time, does that mean anything? I noted that in deference to what another poster said: Madonna and Britney Spears are still enduring.
My assumption then is that whether Zweig is forgotten or still popular as ever would be irrelevant to the quality of the work. What defines quality: No I don't have an answer - I'm still figuring out this 'subjective-objective; context-universal' aesthetic quality bullshit.

Yeah, that's exactly what I think, but I don't know mate. What makes something good is that it is of good taste, and has many qualities to it, but you gotta admit that there's also the subjective component to it. You will like much more those forms of art that have something that you identify with, so books that relate struggles that you suffer will resonate more with you and matter more to you than other works that don't, and other people won't like what you like as much because they haven't gone through what you have gone through.

Cooper Cruz
Not him, but Witcher 3 is just plain bad in every aspect. Both as a Action (physical challenge) and RPG (Strategy, decision making) game. The combat is very shallow and this is a chief complaint of the game so I won't dwell on the Action portion. The RPG part however has all kinds of problems. The amount of handholding and lack of genuine choices and consequences is absurd. Compare Witcher 3 to something like Deus Ex where you have 10+ ways to open a door and multiple ways in which the plot is dynamic which are cleverly hidden outside the realm of arbitrary bioshit style dialogue choices. Compare Witcher 3 to something like Gothic 2 where there's 10+ ways to solve a quest, all of which involve exploring and exploiting the world, and getting to know the characters within it. The character progression is abysmal all around, talent trees are just plain bad and extremely limiting. Itemization is very boring and loot is almost never rewarding. There are no interesting dungeons and the overworld map is just lazily dotted with POIs. The story/writing is basically netflix tier garbage, nothing of real genuine note. (compare to something like Alpha Centauri)
I just don't see the game excelling in anything. If I had to rate it, I'd give it a 2/10 at best. It's just an extremely shallow AAA game that basically hits all the right spots on a corporate checklist of what impresses the failed journalists that are vidya critics and their audience of 12 year olds.
But, hey, don't take my word for it. Video games barely hold my interest at all any more so what do I know?

It's really simple but my local art center has a permanent artwork titled Ballet Girl in White by Robert Henri. She's kind of become my waifu, I visit her most weekends, and I plan on buying a print of her. I'm also trying to learn to draw so I can draw her. Some of the museum attendants think it's funny, one guy though has told me that it's weird and I need to stop. I've taken my picture with her before, although I can't post that for obvious reasons
