I heavily lean towards yes, although not every game may be
the creation of the game might be art, but the game itself might not have an artistic statement and may be, for instance, just for fun
whereas some games lean into having an artistic statement or purpose, and those I would definitely consider being art

@sterophonick@wetdry.world games with passion put into them are art. indie games are art. big aaa games (e.g. call of duty, sports games) are just corporate slop, but still technically meet the definition for art, although i dont consider those to be art

@alexia so would you say that Fortnite or Counter-Strike as complete products aren't really art as opposed to a game like Silent Hill f or Dust: An Elysian Tail?
No judgment for any answer btw, just gathering opinions.

@kemona_halftau You mention AAA games, is that all AAA games? Think about titles like Silent Hill f or Mirror's Edge. do you consider those art?

@sterophonick@wetdry.world some aaa games are indeed art, basically if they have at least a little effort put into them then theyre art

one of the most common counterarguments I hear to the idea that videogames are art is their need to be played on specific hardware and how the culture constantly demands enhancements and remakes. what do you people think here

@sterophonick art and design, yes

additionally video games are in the odd position where a few extra gigahertz or gigashits per megafart can improve an experience such as stabilizing a framerate or reducing stutters, or by allowing more detail to be rendered in real time

@sterophonick i like to point at The Beginner's Guide when people ask things like this, because it really blends the line between artistic statement and just a game
it changed the course of my life.

@sterophonick it is the same with movies and music and their rereleases and 4k hd remasters

@sterophonick@wetdry.world is cinema art? cinema inherently requires the use of specific hardware for recording and playback
i feel like it's a very strange point to make -
@nelson i really oughtta play the beginner's guide
@sterophonick oh it's an amazing game, it made me so inspired that i'm still trying to make something based off the feeling that it gave me when i played it

@sterophonick Can video games be art? Yes. But the video games that most people have actually heard of? Generally, no.
Can food be art? Yes. Is the premade sandwich you bought last week art? No. Even though people involved in the design of that sandwich used creative skills, and even though sandwiches are fascinating objects with masses of historical and political resonances that stretch across thousands of years of history. Something can be significant and worth talking about without being art.

@sterophonick An artist like Takashi Murakami might even do a large-scale production run of premade sandwiches, making that format into art. The art practice is how you transform context and meaning.

> I'm falling since 10 seconds, so considering ½gt² it's being more or less 500 meters...
You're such a nerd even your dreams have math in them.

Tonight I dreamt I was driving a car downhill. But at a very tight turn the car slided and broke the barrier and fell down the cliff. It felt so real, the freefall sensation on my body, I hoped to die instantly, and wondered what I would feel like when passing away, and I closed my eyes, trying to relax and prepare for it...
After a few seconds:
> Ehi, how fucking long does it take for a car to fall down a cliff? How much high it was to begin with? I'm falling since 10 seconds, so considering ½gt² it's being more or less 500 meters...
After that I opened my eyes and realized it was a dream. In fact I was barefoot in a line full of people waiting at a library for the opening where I could get the new book from a famous writer. That looked the reality I wanted to live.

@bbatsov imo there's a difference: I've seen (and written) a ton of bad code but that "works".
Like, 1000 line functions with global state which gives the right results.
OTOH, LLMs still produce, relatively often, code that does not work and then pretend it does.
Which sometimes people do too, but those are the people you want to fire.

Dazi che botta!
@giornalismo
articolo21.org/2026/02/dazi-ch…
Non c’è alcun Re a Washington. La Corte Suprema degli Stati Uniti,con la clamorosa sentenza che definisce illegali i dazi decisi e imposti da Trump, di fatto stabilisce che gli Usa sono una repubblica democratica con un parlamento e non una monarchia con un sovrano dai poteri assoluti. La Corte, che è a maggioranza

Un governo socialmente pericoloso. Nuovo Decreto sicurezza e stato di polizia
@anarchia
La produzione di norme repressive da parte del governo Meloni non conosce soste. Ormai l’unica priorità è diventata quella della “sicurezza”. Si alimenta una vera e propria psicosi amplificando (o inventando) fatti di cronaca allarmanti per giustificare una torsione
