Message: [QUOTE="MrFabulous, post: 44663, member: 66057"] I am pretty sure I could actually pull off the Satsui no Hadou irl if the situation demanded it. More seriously, I think I gained a greater appreciation for aesthetics and art that has to work within really limited means. Legitimately learning to find the beauty in things like (superficially crude) pixel graphics, poorly translated text or simplistic music. Sort of teaching yourself to fill in the blanks with your own imagination to conceptualize the ideas that are being imperfectly communicated. I think it's a skill that's lacking in a lot of modern video game fans because when they see more stylized art styles or rigid presentation they often assume that it's an objective failure on the part of the creators and dismiss it pretty quickly - but becoming accustomed to old stuff like this gives you more patience for things like great music that suffers from poor production, enjoying a good script in an otherwise bad movie, appreciating poorly translated prose for the ideas that it [I]does [/I]communicate, etc. [/QUOTE]
