HI it’s me, a long lost once-blogger that used to post art, sorry for being inactive (i’ve enjoyed it)
please don’t go through my art tag cause dam that shite old and otherwise you all probably know well that i don’t post here anymore (moving on from tumblr has been one of the best decisions of my life)
“scallops have eyes” fig. 1: IT’S THOSE BLUE THINGS
“scallops have eyes” fig. 2: THEY LOOK LIKE GOOGLY EYES WHEN YOU ZOOM IN! PLEASE NOTE THE TINY FLESH EYELASHES!
EVERY SCALLOP HAS TEN TO ONE HUNDRED OF THESE! ENJOY!
Note that eyes are pretty closely tied to mobility - other bivalves don’t have eyes because they don’t move anyway, and may at most have simple eyespots so they know when it’s daylight or can detect the shadow of a passing fish.
When you startle a scallop, however, this happens:
Video games don’t have to have good graphics to be good:
Video games don’t have to be about combat to be good:
Video games don’t have to be linear to envelop players in their worlds:
Video game bosses don’t have to be difficult to be fun:
Video games don’t have to lack color simply because they are “post-apocalyptic”:
Video games can have lighthearted art design and still carry deeply dark themes:
Rethink video games.
But also don’t think that dark games can’t be beautiful in their own way:
Or that difficult bosses can’t be fun:
Don’t that games with combat in them can’t be light hearted:
Or that violent games can’t also be silly:
Don’t think that playing the game competitively ruins the fun:
Or that dreary, colourless, post apocalyptic games hold any less story value:
Just because a game or playstyle isn’t good, or beautiful to you, doesn’t mean its any less valuable to someone else who does appreciate it. At the end of the day, it makes someone happy, and thats the greatest value of any art form.
Oh, hey! This is the best addition to my post after 100k notes! <3
