1 Year Anniversary + Why Review Scores Kill Artistic Expression | Patreon Podcast

Hello Everyone!

On this week's episode of the Patreon Podcast I give a little update on what the past year of being a full-time youtuber has been like (thank you everyone for making this possible in the first place) and how a personal goal of mine for the year is inspired by Kurt Russell in that to take what I do really seriously and be compelling, but not to take myself too seriously in the process because ego management is a real battle as a youtuber in the roller coaster of the highs of outputting work people engage with, and the lows of self-hatred.

I also talk about another project I want to be working on for the year :-)

The 2nd half of the ep I talk about why I think review scores are a mistake and why I think they undermine the artistic poetic nature of critique and instead treat games as products rather than art. The false objectiveness of things like metacritic and universal review scores certainly isn't helping either.

Thank you again for making the past year possible and supporting the channel :-) I try my best not to be too sappy in the episode ha.

Sincerely,

Mark
