Rayman is what made me fall in love with video game development.
This game is a work of pure artistry and absolute genius. A perfect 10/10.
If you only play one game in your life, play this, and master it. It's surprising difficult. Don't let its cuteness fool you ;)
Vladimir Vysotsky was a prolific Soviet-era guitarist, songwriter, and bard, unlike anything seen or heard in the West. What Bruce Lee was to martial arts, Vysotsky was to song-writing. This guy was a song-writing genius.
He used sophisticated, florid vocabulary in all his songs. My Russian lexicon isn't good enough to understand all of it, maybe like 70%. And he has like 100+ amazing songs.
When I heard him as a kid I would think, "His voice sounds like he drinks gasoline." Well, he was a heavy drinker, as Russians tend to be. Rumor has it that when alcohol was scare in the Soviet era, some men would drink gasoline to hold themselves over. Vysotsky died at age "42 under heavy sedation with an improvised cocktail of sedatives and stimulants". A tragically early death, a la Bruce Lee.
P.S. I'm gonna be sharing more artsy and odd-ball stuff on the blog. Just for fun. As I become more conscious I'm becoming more spontaneously creative. I'm not gonna be the stereotypical dry guru.
Please watch this HBO show. This show is an absolute masterpiece yet highly underrated. Contemplate it as you watch.
4 years ago I commissioned a professional illustrator to render a vision that received in one of my psychedelic trips. The vision was this: that in trying to figure out reality, you are like a cat playing with a ball of yarn out of which you are yourself made.
This is what entanglement truly means.
I briefly mentioned this vision in my video: Reality Is A Strange Loop, at timestamp 55:44, and now here it is illustrated in full glory. I'm still working to finalize the colors.
Enjoy.
Do you realize that that's you, doing this work?
Any thread of reality that you pull on long enough will lead to your own unraveling. Which is why most people never pull long on anything.
I hope one day you get it ;)
