"I believe we are really only [now] learning to speak of immeasurable qualities through video games.
I think it is a slow and collective process of hacking accounting machines into expressive machines.
I believe a new game of aesthetic has to be explored, one that revels in problem making, rather than problem solving.
One that celebrates paradoxes and ruptures.
An aesthetic that is not afraid of broken and dysfunctional systems, because the systems governing our lives are broken and dysfunctional, and it should not be idealized" - Paolo Pedercini

"People say “don’t underestimate the audience!” That’s true of people parsing complicated characters, understanding a persons motivation and feelings *without* the need for dialogue or heavy exposition. It’s not true as far as separating your source material from your product." -Greg from H2D

"The more that one studies the relationships between mechanical and social invention,the more interrelated they seem.... The whole interconnected mass is in motion.

"The purpose of abstracting is not to be vague, but to create a new semantic level in which one can be absolutely precise." – Edsger W Dijkstra

"I thought myself different from the countless reflections I saw etched in the darkness. I am free, I thought. They are not. And each had the same thought, and each took the same path, and each befell the same fate. But I am different, I repeated, and heard its echoes forever.

Those I serve cast their eyes upon an endless, unchanging horizon, and have never had cause to look away. Without change, time passes like a tear in a stream. It is invisible, meaningless and insignificant to one with no beginning and no end. But then came the silence, and it deafened them, and dammed the stream, and now they can see nothing else, and can hear nothing else." -The Envoy

"Wisdom is the offspring of suffering and time."
"Belief is the strongest metal of them all." - Izaro

"The fine print of eternal happiness is absolute obedience."
