01 / uncertainty
“I don’t know that any other algorithm that’s been put into place is as adept at getting content that people want to watch to the people who want to watch it.”
02 / uncertainty
“I don’t know. Right now, it takes so much time for me to get — and I can’t even do it — to get an AI image thing to make something that looks cool to me.”
03 / belief
“If I’m naming a game that I think would qualify, I understand that there’s a difference between me going, “Well, there was this little indie game that I just thought was so great.”
04 / commitment
“Both beautiful games, both meaningful, both tell us about the human condition in different ways, and someday, I will show the world that that is true.”
05 / belief
“I want to be at the point where I can make a video about Space Invaders or Pac-Man and have it get a million, 2 million, 5 million views, and have it change the way we think about those because those games are beautiful.”
06 / uncertainty
“I don’t know that I would have a good answer to the question about what glitches are in my production or in the way that I approach things.”
07 / uncertainty
“I don’t know. There must be a different definition of math that I don’t know. Anyway, that was totally separate.”
08 / belief
“I think that I’m still really fascinated by the idea of looking at real stuff in video games, but in some sense, I think I’ve shot myself in the foot because now I’ve leaned so far in that direction that, like we were talking about, to me, that’s second-order purpose, and it’s gotten so much .”
09 / uncertainty
“We’re probably there, would be my guess. Thank goodness for me, but I don’t know what that says about .”
10 / uncertainty
“” Space Invaders is a little bit more, you can find your optimal path through it, but it’s not quite as clear in every moment what the optimal choice necessarily is. I don’t know if that’s exactly what you’re getting at.”
11 / commitment
“I think all I should have in my head is, “This video that I’m making right now is going to be the best video I could possibly make.”
12 / evaluation
“We think of it as really simple, and in some sense, it is, but just getting a paved road with a utility pole on it to your house — it requires so much coordination and so much knowledge and effort, and I think people should appreciate that more.”
13 / commitment
“I think one of my tertiary goals is, can we get the number of hydrology master’s students up by 3 percent, 4 percent?”
14 / commitment
“Unless you’re seeing something different than I am, I feel like our goal is to eliminate that surrealness and make it more competent because that’s what’s going to give it the power to increase productivity of low-level artistic needs for people who just like a picture of a bear scratching a tree, and then they don’t have to pay someone $50 to do a sketch of a bear scratching a tree.”
15 / evaluation
“I don’t know that that technology has really changed anything in the same way that I don’t think games have gotten that much better.”
16 / evaluation
“On the whole, the average quality of food in New Orleans, in my opinion, is not good except for the things that they are a specialty in.”
17 / prediction
“I think I do tend to agree that if I’m doing what I’m doing better than anyone else is doing it, people will find me.”
18 / evaluation
“Again, a small part of why I love video games is because of how there’s so much fun, symbolic interaction between you and the game that it maps so well onto the way that we interact with the world around us.”
19 / disagreement
“In that modality, I totally reject the idea — I’ll keep it just on video games because I can actually back this up with information — I totally reject the notion that video games used to be better.”
20 / preference
“The value system of the people who do commentary — this is part of one of the things that I really would like to shift because I make these videos, infrastructure, blah-blah-blah, but there’s an underlying thing that I’m trying to get through with regards to the way that we think about and talk about video games.”
