Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty.

"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit.

When thinking up a response to this thread, I really didn't want to include anything that anyone could get simply by Googling "favorite/best/inspiring quotes" or whatever.
So I ended up with a bunch of semi-obscure movie references. :wacko:

Especially young boys, like once they get in a room together, it's like who's more powerful kind of stuff, you know, like who has the most pubic hairs or whatever. I never liked those kind of interactions.

All through those years I didn't have all that much luck connecting with people in real life: these assholes over here make fun of me, and these other people over here just think I'm kind of weird, and wanna have distance, and maybe a couple people like me and get me but we're all rejects...

If I could be disembodied and just have my intellect connect directly with other people through typing power, then wouldn't that be Utopia?

I really wanted to include something from Indie Game: The Movie, but I found myself basically quoting the whole movie. So I stopped after the very first bit of opening dialogue and called it good.

Part of it is about not trying to be professional. Like a lot of people come into indie games trying to be like a big company; what those game companies do is create highly polished things that serve as large of an audience as possible. The way that you do that is by filling off all of the bumps on something; if there's a sharp corner, you make sure that's not going to hurt anybody if they bump into it or whatever.
That creation of this highly-polished, commercial product, is the opposite of making something personal... Things that are personal have flaws, they have vulnerabilities. If you don't see a vulnerability in somebody, you're probably not relating with them on a very personal level, so it's the same with a game design.
Making it was about, let me take my deepest flaws and vulnerabilities, and put them in the game... and let's see what happens.

Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' And I'll whisper 'no'.

Men do not cry. Men do not pout. Men jack you in the fuckin' jaw and say...Thanks for comin' out.

The majority of them are from movies/games, but a few are from real people.
