i’m not one to post “inspirational” quotes, but here’s one i find valuable for anyone creating something; So, to Toby Fox’s message about a game’s capacity to change their players’ lives, I would add an unofficial addendum which should in no way be construed as legal advice. If a game’s screen ever flashes at you like a cursed mirror and smites you with inspiration, take its shit. Riff on it. Remix it. Do it better, do it worse but different. Have respect, but not reverence. Butcher it, break it down, study it. Take what you like and rip out what you don’t, then fill the gaps with yourself; your thoughts, your perspective, your fixations, your aesthetic. Rearrange the skeleton to your liking and hang your vision over its bones like a ghoulish monument that says, ‘I can do this too’. And then say ‘thank you’, but don’t apologize.
