I’m gonna be taking some rdr2 photos, some from other people (dw I’ll give credit), and some of my own, and weave them all together into little stories for each post! I think this idea will be amazing, and will be quite refreshing. What do y’all think?
And yes, rdr1 and Red Dead Revolver will be included, too.
And also, as of right now, I’ll be using other people’s photos. Don’t worry, I’ll give credit to ya!
Okay I just realized, this subreddit doesn’t allow videos. So I had to take screenshots of the lines to prove my point.
But anyway, the line “Call me derivative, SO IS ALL OF CREATION!!!” is basically an allegory for creativity itself. Nothing is ever, truly original, we’re just, taking the idea from somewhere else. The line implies that, creation is inherently derivative. And, I think he might be onto something with that one. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it’s something.
The next line “Originality is a hallucination, so what if I sold my soul IN ORDER TO MAKE SOME-“ is basically implying that Originality is an illusion that we created, when we see something new. That new thing, was taken from somewhere else. This circles back to the line I mentioned earlier. And the sold my soul in order to make some money bit, that might just be him harping on people that think their idea is original, when in reality, someone probably already did it, and they just sold their soul, in order for their version, to be the one that everyone recognizes as “the first”.
Then, there’s the last line in the last two screenshots. “We cannot have innovation without anything to take from.” He’s absolutely correct on this one. Innovation, even if it’s revolutionary, has to come from somewhere. Like a book, or a piece of writing on the wall, or an idea in someone’s head.
So, that’s just my take on this line. You may disagree with everything I said here, and that’s completely fine. Let me know what you think.
