/effay/ is not about it being traditional or overdone, your effay shit is a philosophy which aims for modern, cold trash futuristic designs and nothing more

it's rootless shit which has its aim only in the future but is anchored nowhere, so it always get out of fashion and need constant stream of novetly.

it's basically trash. there was never a need to go out of tradition.

Triggered neckbeard faggots confirm that "Durrk Slows" piece of shit is not /fa/ and never will be.
Literally anything with "muh challenge" and "hurrcore" is fedora-tier and should be avoided.
Thing to be avoided also: multiplayer shit. It's dumb and requres a lot of time to waste on which is autistic as fuck. That is why every "pro" gamer is an acne bearing faggot. Def not /fa/

Things to stick with: good slow paced narrative games with good plots and decent visual style/soundtrack. Adventures, horrors, telltale stuff, platformers, point-and-click detectives — everything that has "designer touch", some interesting vision and artistic approach.

Firewatch, Layers of Fear, Fez, Broken Age, Wolf Among Us, Brothers, Kentucky Route Zero, Alien Isolation, Sherlock Holmes Crimes & Punishments,Valiant Hearts — this is some decent stuff that comes to mind.

how does it feel talking out of your ass? souls series has a strong artistic direction and is auteur-like

narrative games like the wolf among us, firewatch, and broken age tell crappy stories which the medium isn't fit for doing instead of actually achieving great design and people shill because muh videogames as art when they don't realize that what defines games as a medium and as a result an artform is mechanics like how cinematography defines movies or word structure and choice defines poetry

to get to your examples, alien: isolation isn't played for story but for atmosphere. so is layers of fear. fez is played for mechanics

stop bringing your obvious narrative bias to games. mechanical brilliance in design that comes close or even surpasses traditional games like chess or go is the epitome of effay due to skill required. your just mad people don't play your shitty indie games

Dark Souls does have "designer touch". Fromsoft are kings of art design, one of the most distinctive and biggest appeals of the Kings Field/Shadow Tower/Souls series has always been its atmosphere

And the atmosphere they engage with is certainly in style: neo-gothic. The clothing evokes Yohji Yamamoto, the soundscape contemporary noise/techno (Sentinel, Lotic / Ancient Methods, Northern Electronics), the atmosphere and themes contemporary black/gnostic critical theory (Thacker, Masciandaro)

There's a reason it's one of the few next-gen videogames to be repped by those who know in the current scene, ie NON's crew. Taro Yoko's shit is also effay as fuck

>Firewatch, Layers of Fear, Fez, Broken Age, Wolf Among Us, Brothers, Kentucky Route Zero, Alien Isolation, Sherlock Holmes Crimes & Punishments,Valiant Hearts

That anon did it, tb/h it doesn't fit in at all.

It's not a very good game though, the AI is shit but the art direction, even though its just a direct repro of the movie, on point. Even still, if you were effay, you'd prop up captain blood over it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCpvpYKn8Vk
Old avant-garde gem with a much more radical conception of alien futurism

or at the very least Dark Seed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgn-fhsvrmA
though also flawed, it goes a lot harder than Alien Isolation and its inspirations are a lot more informed: HR Giger himself, not just the Alien movie

Garage probably easily takes the cake for that direction of scifi horror, but it's pretty damn obscure even for those who know their shit. Having good, well developed taste is effay but if you go too far deep, no one will be able to follow

That doesn't change anything. The jersey shore crew are confident and still an eyesore.

The Dude has a refined style deeply tied to his personal mode of living. Style is personal, good style is a question of sensitivity

What's "fashionable" is another question tied to context of the overall movements of fashion. Certain tastes and looks might come in and out of fashion, i.e. wide -> skinny -> wide pants, but these are only partially relevant to an individual's actually stylishness, you can rock something out of fashion if you make it work - not with confidence, but with good style. Choosing engage with current fads can elevate your style to another level by adding another layer of social complexity to the fit's general reception, but it's not necessary.

What trendhoppers do when they try to just match whatever's in style now is fake good style. Rather than tie it to a genuine sense of fashion, they reflect currently cool things to let the overriding signal value hide the lack of personal style in the fit. It's a lot more work t.b.h.

It does change everything however. In my example, The Dude wears his own reflection of lifestyle and personality. A sense of self-expression. If he wasn't for the dude he was, then he'd probably look much worse in most peoples eyes (of course it should be done with a sense of sensitivity and taste).


That being said, I do agree with the rest of your post in general. I do not think trendhoppers are necessary wearing fake good style though, I prefer to view it as a reflection of society and its values over the reflection of their own individualistic ideals.

Sure, but only tweens dressed by the internet don't have confidence with clothes anyway. It's such a basic prerequisite that it's not even worth mentioning. It's like saying all high heels will look bad if you don't know how to walk in them - it doesn't mean that all heels are effay if you do.

Except I suppose you should pay attention to your confidence in a piece you're trying on, if you don't feel immediately confident wearing it, that means it's probably not for you. You'll always look bad trying to be something you're not.

It's kind of cliche story but the thing about Rei not putting mirrors in the CDG flagship because the clothes should be about how they make you feel, not how they make you look - yeah.

>I prefer to view it as a reflection of society and its values over the reflection of their own individualistic ideals.
That's a good point. I don't think they're any worse for what they do, they just approach fashion more socially and towards a different end. I don't like the concept of personal self-expression, I think it's a myth and produces bad art in general, but how you wear things is something you engage with artistically, I think the transition between wearing to modifying to making pieces is very smooth, a question of degree more than anything.

I completely agree. Recently, I've been changing my style to a more -- I suppose the best word is colorful - way, and the most important aspect for me in this change was comfort. If I couldn't feel comfortable in my style, then what was the point of it? I'd look terrible.

>I don't like the concept of personal self-expression
Why do you think it produces bad art? I definitely agree with you, that it should not dictate all forms of artistic expression. Art does not need to be a form of self-expression (fashion to me, is that however).

This is a great discussion by the way, let's keep it going.

>Why do you think it produces bad art?
Because it's a misguided, regressive and common/vulgar understanding of experience and expression. To me, it's wrong on nearly every level and in conflict with any recent (post-70s) critical, biological or metaphysical theory.

For starters, we aren't even discreet as individuals. This is developed in everything from the very recent OOT/ANT to 90s Margulis' biology to 80s Haraway's cyborg.

Bourdie's Distinction makes as good an argument as any for the nature of consumption as non-subjective, in the way people tend to understand it, especially here on 4chan, like when they say ">implying taste isn't subjective". What do they mean when they say that? That we have some inherently pure, uniquely individual set of tastes completely isolated from any outside influence? And it just so happens to always be the same entry-level/"starter pack" as the peers in your in-group? It's clearly nonsense. Our 'tastes' are very socially defined and are always practiced in dialogue.

I have a pet theory that it's just rooted in a conception of the soul that people are wont to cling to. What other justification is there for a discreet, pure individuality?

I've noticed a lot of modern western culture maintains its roots in puritan and catholic dogmas despite how much they deny it. For example, and relevant: in theory, we /understand/ that geneticists have very well established personality, taste, even our sense of humor are far more tied to our genetic heritage than our cultural upbringing. But in practice, we refuse to /accept/ it or even bother disseminating the old news to the public.

I don't agree at all. You will of course be affected by outside influences and using it as inspiration for your needs and desires, but to claim this is always the case is not true. If the individual stops for a second and considers what and why they enjoy something, then it's no longer a social construct, but a choice.

I think you're leading into the age-old discussion of what we consider free will and conscious decisions, when we're all just made from chemical reactions and molecules.

Personally, I don't think it matters what science says on this matter. The mind is unique in it's ways and desires and to make a blanket statement of how it perceives the world is simply foolish.

>If the individual stops for a second and considers what and why they enjoy something, then it's no longer a social construct, but a choice.
But whatever lead you to develop that enjoyment is still defined by the social.

You're not born with an appreciation or preference for either tonal or atonal music. Melody isn't intrinsic, it's defined and learned.

But math is an inherit fondness of humans, it's natural to make systems and organizing. Melodies are not necessarily learned to be enjoyed nor learned at all.

Is that a social construct? Even animals can enjoy music, or at least respond to it.

I'm not interested in universals. When you do art today, you're engaging with simulacrum. Denying citation and context makes the work lose its relevance to the world in which it finds itself.

I don't think it's a social construct, because math is everywhere we look and it often dictates how the world functions. How big animals can become, how we perceive art and how fast we can go.

It's an important aspect in the universe. Does it exist, because we looked for it? Yeah, maybe. But it nevertheless makes rules for how the world functions.

No, math quite literally dictates it.

Because of how powered numbers work in relation to volume.

You have a cube which is 1x1 on all sides. It's surface area has is 6^2.

Now let's consider its volume. 1x1x1. The volume is 1^3.

Now let's double the cube to a 2x2 and 2x2x2.

The surface area has now doubled to 12^2, but the volume has now increased with 8 times, 8^3.


This rule rings true to everywhere. Math quite literally dictates it.
The example I just told you, also is why insects have a limited size they can grow. Their muscle mass cannot keep up with the weight, how much they need to eat and how much oxygen they can inhale.
This is not a social construct, this is a universal rule which has been discoverede by mankind.


I hope it made some sense, it's hard to properly explain math problems in english in comparison to my own language.

It's limited and I am by no means an expert. I tried to make a point of how math can and does dictates how the world constructed.

The point was, math dictates how much something (living) can grow in size because it will grow much larger in volume, not being able to overcome its own weight.

This is not a social construct, it's a rule by nature.
>>
>>11252977
I agree that there is a limit on how much an animal can grow, but I'd probably say that's determined by physics and mathematics only comes in to play when we try to quantify that limit or the rate of growth of the animal. Just because that limit is expressible in mathematics doesn't mean the math determines the limit.

It would be silly to think physics doesn't rely on math.
>>
>>11253022
But wouldn't the existence of the force of gravity alone be enough to explain the growth limits of animals regardless of the mathematical framework used to describe it?

I agree that it's silly to think physics does not rely on math, but perhaps this is because the general, abstract framework is most suited to the problems tackled by physicists (and the reason it is such an effective framework is because it was invented to be one)?

Not trying to rustle feathers or anything. Just really enjoy the philosophy of mathematics and rarely get to discuss it.

Few others know in this thread how absolutely amazing Descent was. And I posted it for a reason. The game takes what you might expect from FPS - even from most video games - and gives you utmost spacial freedom (full 3D, six degrees of freedom). Space sims do this, too - but it's not as noticeable, since you aren't as close to your environment as in Descent. This idea is very /fa/.

SMT Nocturne is a great game and still looks good today, I highly recommend it
>>
I consider all videogames to be art
notably the dark souls series comes to mind
I personally draw inspiration from bloodborne when I coordinate my outfits, additionally I have altered my personality to mirror the brooding silent protagonist of the series
here is my day-to-day bloodborne routine:
I typically bathe myself in bleach and powder my face with asbestos to achieve my alabaster skin tone. I have found prolonged use of such products to be detrimental to the point of irreversibly damaging my health however I feel that achieving this aesthetic far outweighs any negatives
my diet consists solely of raw meats, root vegetables and fortified wine
I also spend several hours daily practicing fencing
every three months I venture into the local woods to hunt and skin bestial creatures such as rabbits and squirrels. I feel this is necessary in order to truly appreciate the clothing production process we all take for granted
I tan the hides myself and pass them on to my seamstress josephine, who in turn transforms them into replica victorian era garments. Any self-respecting hunter from the gothic city of yharnam wouldn't leave their dwelling without a full length overcoat, leather vest and chaps as a bare minimum
when your life depends on slaying creatures that could snap your femurs in an instant you simply cannot afford to be hasty with your clothing
heed my warning and best of luck

I cant say that I'm on the same page. Mathematical axioms hold truth for relations in size, volume, mass and other definable parameters. It is however grossly inapplicable for disciplines of the moral scope. You can, for example, teach someone and give direction on how to build an software application (computer science being a subset of mathematics) - listing and defining the rules, best practices for workflow, and general steps necessary for it's execution from a purely LOGICAL perspective. Those same practices, conversely, could not be used to articulate or guide the intellect on the correct way of how one would conceive beauty in an art form.

Expression is ultimately relative and cannot be bound by the finite boundaries of mathematics.

epistemology is not clear cut or definite by any means. in fact, so much points to our 'understanding' of things being nothing more than a model drafted to fit the severely limited amount of information we think we know. the model is drafted well within the parameters of what we can conceptualize (which is very very little)...essentially this - you're not accurately representing the limitations of math and knowledge or how it 'applies' to everything
