        @avantgame @Andreacmeyer @syrrann "no other art form"? Wasn't there something like non-video games (we call them just "games" btw.)?

        @avantgame I heap blessings on whoever thought of putting cheat codes into games. So many good stories I'd have missed without them!

        @avantgame @syrrann This is hilarious! It brings up a question I often ponder. What if we (game designers) stopped punishing failure?

        @avantgame @syrrann to be fair it would let people only access art with the level of intellectual engagement they willing invest.
