Wisdom from Swery
Deadly PremonitionandD4creator Swery (who has contributed aguest article herein the past) has been on a rollon Twitterlately. Maybe it’s all the mind gunk that would otherwise be poured into a second season ofD4now just seeping out to any outlet it can find while Swery’s on hiatus.
It’s not the righteous, casual fire ofHideki “Ask your mom” Kamiyaor the austere brillianceHideo Kojimamaintains despite his hot new scruffy beard. Instead it’s an affable realness, sincerely relatable.
Public opinion is always exist against to crazy creators like me. But it’s necessary for grow about culture. Sorry for my poor English.

This is a casual righteous truth in that it’sfriendlywhereas the “casual” in Kamiya’s fire represents a supremeeaseof slapping down jabronis. Swery is right. People will fight tooth and nail against the new and eventually-agreed-upon trailblazing creators often facing rejection at the onset. Basically, “weird” things are cool, but moneyhats fear weird things’ ability to sell. And this “weird” is just a novel point of view, in the same way thatMetal Gear Solidgames areweird as hell, but tricked people into believing they were marketable as hell (and Kojimaalmostgot enough money out of Konami to finishThe Phantom Pain, thankfully).
My old friend bought a new PC that was $4000. Only for play “Fallout New Vegas”. I told him that “Don’t do that crazy”, but he didn’t agree.

Swery is 100% right here. That friendiscrazy. $4,000 on a new PC just to play one game? You could make the best game in the world right now and lock it to one single, proprietary $4,000 game system, Wu Tang Clan style, and I could still just as easily for playResident Evil 4or listen to36 Chambersinstead.
And yet that, “but he didn’t agree” denouement is so soft it’s like we’re not even judging or chiding said friend, even though he is crazy as all get out.

And here’s Swery with a thought we’ve all had waking up from a Friday bender after a long week to the brief 24-hour period of limitless potential that is the weekend: “Saturday morning. I’m thinking about what should I do today?”
Swery has had that beautiful thought for all of us already here in the states-ish where it’s still only Friday night, allowing you to presuppose for once, if you feel like it: tomorrow’s Saturday morning. What are you doing?
