Still hilarious imo. Soulja Boy made a video forever ago where it was him and his friends getting a kick out of the time control mechanic of Braid and in a documentary the creator was whining because people didn't see his basic platformer as a work of serious art.

If the topic title had said "Soldier Boy" then I probably would have...but sadly I recognize Soulja Boy and I hate that I know.
I am that Naruto crap.

You think it's dope, for some of the reasons I do
But not for other reasons, you aren't seeing the most important thing.

This is the same movie where Edmund Mcmillen says being a game developer is like being in a concentration camp.

"I showed up to 'well ackshually' literally every article about my game I could find and the Internet started memeing me as a 'well ackshually' guy. It was deeply negative."

This guy kinda sucks.

That whole saga was wild. I have no idea how he got so confused that he thought Atari was making him CEO. He must not have read that letter properly. One video talking about how he's the new CEO then the next video he's bashing the fuck out of Atari lmao.

I'd be pissed too if Soulja Boy said anything about I made, positive or not.

idk what yall are on about, i totally get where the creator is coming from.

he's just expressing his perspective, it's not like he's actively mad at other people, just disappointed at the overall reaction, which seems perfectly reasonable.

also he's not wrong, braid as a game is alright. sort of. but it is interesting as a psychological text. the time travel mechanic is used well, like Life is Strange, to tackle the concept that even if we could change the past it wouldnt change the present all that much. or at the very least it doesn't make anything easier--and it might make everything harder.

As someone who use to draw, the only thing that I didn't want people to do with my art was make them lewd. Other than that love what you want to love about it LOL .

Meh. He just sounds loney. Wanted to fill a void by konnecting with people through his kreation. Sounds a lot more tolerable than some snobby artist that wants more praise in general and says things like "Marvel movies are not cinema".
