Facebook? Nein, danke!

I would rather have a prostate exam on live TV operated on by a guy with cold hands than have a Facebook page.

Love is …

Filed Under Beziehungsweise, Spruchreif | Leave a Comment

Love is handing your heart to someone and taking the risk that they will hand it back because they don’t want it. That’s why it’s such a crushing ache on the inside. We gave away a part of ourselves and it wasn’t wanted.

Love is a giving away of power. When we love, we give the other person the power in the relationship. They can do what they choose. They can do what they like with our love. They can reject it, they can accept it, they can step toward us in gratitude and appreciation.

Love is a giving away. When we love, we put ourselves out there, we expose ourselves, we allow ourselves to be vulnerable.

Erwarten Sie nichts

Never expect a thank-you, and never do things for a thank-you. That is very liberating.

Charakterschwäche

Filed Under Spielkram, Spruchreif | Leave a Comment

Characters in films are just as fake as characters in videogames. Neither exists. Why, despite the pivotal position emotional attachment has in game design, does film do so much better than we do? Are they better writers, or is there another challenge unique to our medium?

Hiding isn’t working

Hiding isn’t working, and neither is whining. The best marketing strategy is to destroy your industry before your competition does.

No right or wrong

Filed Under Internal Affairs, Spruchreif | 2 Comments

My experience with becoming an adult is, you come to this place where you see that you have this set of beliefs. And you run up against things that kind of defy that. You get into a situation where there isn’t one simple answer and all the arrogance, all the surety of youth is either thrown back at you or it’s at least ineffective. And then the world is thorny, and the world is fucked up and very hard to manage, and it’s impossible to know whether you did the right thing or the wrong thing. It’s about being disabused of this idea that there’s a stone-cold right and wrong.

(Ben Affleck in Esquire)
