What’re you defining ‘value’? Monetary, sure but what of emotional value? What’re you defining as ‘quality’? What’s high quality art to you? What’s valuable in your view? I garuntee that’s not the same for everyone.
I’m not getting your point?
No, the value of art is specific to each individual. A picture made by someone with no talent can be of enormous value to someone because of what it means, the relationship they have with the creator, the emotions it makes them feel etc.
Tieing value to talent suggests that a picture by someone who has trained for 5 years is somehow more ‘valuable’ than a picture by someone who has only trained for 4. Why? What metric is being used to determine ‘value’? What metric determines ‘talent’? Art is entirely subjective. To try and define it’s value is missing the point, because it means something different to everyone.
So the value of art is directly tied to talent in your opinion?
Thank heavens we have people like you to police who gets to be called an artist or not…
Fascinating article!
What’s the deal with the Excelsior P2? It looks like a grenade cosplaying as the ghost of Kaiser Wilhelm.

Man, Brink had so much promise…
Yeah, this is some real ‘blame the victim’ type shit. Very disappointing.
Jesus these layoffs are relentless.
Yeah, likewise. Dying Light was one of the biggest pleasant surprises of my gaming life. Went in expecting a Dead Island ripoff and ending up loving every bit of it. Dying Light 2 just didn’t capture my interest in the same way, and I’m not sure why. I think the setting isn’t quite as good tbh. Still fun though.
Part of that truth is also that there is positive news out there, more than people are necessarily aware of, but OPs very valid point is you rarely find that discussed on Lemmy. And when it is brought up people take great delight in torpedoing it. That’s not realistic, that’s defeatist doomerism.
Well said.
Fucking hell…
