Whenever I talk about how ass Detroit become human is in retrospect I have to preface it with the facts that I love the game I've loved it since the first day it released and it's the reason I met the person I plan to marry. I have nuance

#There are so many things I love about the game really #The character work the acting the dialogue the MUSIC?????? Finding points in the OST where character themes and sounds interact is #Everything to me #I even like the QTEs #Also I don't critique this game because I hate it. I don't critique because I think people should stop enjoying it or talking about it #I critique and complain because I enjoy it!! I like discussing the intricacies of why things do or don't work in art #Dbh is ass. In many ways. And dissecting how and why can lead to so many fun and insightful conversations #Just like talking about how much you love it can lead to fun and insightful conversations!! I could talk about Kara for hours simply becaus #She's my favourite and I like her.#I've seen a shift in the way we discuss the art we love in the last couple of years #An expectation of uncritical enjoyment over everything. The idea that discussing the way a piece of art fails or conveys harmful ideas #Or any other 'negative' is inherently meaningless and harmful and should be shunted off into 'anti' or 'critical' spaces rather than being #Healthy part of engaging with something!!!#Like fandom spaces have never been perfect. People have always attacked each other over conflicting opinions. But I remember a time where #Discussing the flaws in a piece of work wasn't met with 'shut up and stop talking or you aren't REALLY a fan of (insert the thing here)'#WASN'T the common response. And I miss that #Anyways yeah Detroit become human is ass in so many ways and it's one of my favourite video games #detroit become human #Oh yeah also if you're my partner and you're reading this hi pookie!! :D
