if you want the game industry to positively change, you need to stop paying money to companies that do not change. it is not enough to keep giving company money while tweeting "this sucks"

late to the party but Mario Kart World OST the best video game soundtrack, probably of all time.

Went to a choir camp and made a friend who introduced me to Cytus. Fell in love and kept playing it until Cytus II came out, where I heard the goat @jameslandino.com and said "this is so cool. I wanna do that"
I will never stop making music. Simply too fun

With all this awful news going on i wanna ask this question once again to fellow artists and general creatives. What got YOU into art? what sparked that motivation to start writing? what made you wanna pick up a camera and start taking pics? Like share with us your reasons.
