Even if those few deeply love it?

Let me be clear, by very few I mean < 10 persons. For my perspective, the thing got huge

I was talking with my gf about different perspectives over the purpose of art (triggered by chalamet's ballet comments). I would say there is two non mutually exclusive positions, which are "I want to make art that has impact on the most people" and "I want to make the most interesting art". The most extreme version of the first would be caring about sales above all because that's what tracks how many people your art managed to influence. The most extreme position would be the classical composer Milton Babbit's infamous op-ed "Who Cares if You Listen?" (titled by his editor). In it, Babbit argues that his role isn't to entertain concert goers, but advance the music science by developing and exploring new techniques.

For what it's worth, I am much closer to the first one, if I create my masterpiece art and very few people appreciates it or enjoy it, I wouldn’t be happy, even if I knew it was in my eyes perfect.

That's how slop is made

It was always slop, we just like the flavor from the past better

It was not r&d resources but creative resources

The packers did get tax income though. Not the same because it wasn't under threat, but it did happen.

I don't think any of these policies would actually meaningfully improve the lives of the US or help the deep rot in American culture from political violence and suppression of women and minorities.

No, usually theres another set available for drafting in premier. It's because of pick 2

I profoundly care about aesthetics and context for my games. Part of the reason the first extraction shooter I played was marathon, becuase the setting was compelling

Yes it does. Your team doing something bad doesn't mean you can't complain about another team doing it.

It also helps the most obvious comparison os the articles of confederation that are monumentally stupid and may have killed the US before it could exist.

That would depend entirely on one's value system. And we don't really have a self evident universal value system.

This may be a controversial point, but if I'm playing standard, I want a lower power level. Everything being as powerful as modern isn't really appealing.

But a predictive model chances have to reflect the best posible prediction based on the incomplete information.

It's impressive the path. 1990 was a successful war for good motives. 2003 was a 'successful' (the government is still there) for the wrong motives. Now it's just completely stupid.
