The reason we had pixel art in the first place is that's what screens could display. Then, we got super-high resolution displays and the need for pixels went away. I can't even see the pixels on my LCD screen even though it's a foot away from my face right now. So why are they clinging to this outdated concept?
Because something in the artsy fartsy mind takes great delight in "we can do it much better now, but we're going to deliberately use the outdated method instead!" People don't understand why the graphics are blocky and give low ratings. Cue the anguished whining that people just don't understand great artists, smelly unwashed commoners don't deserve the kind of great art that we offer, etc., I think all of us know the rest of it from here by heart because we've heard it so many times.
It's not their fault for making crappy-looking graphics, it's everyone else's fault for failing to recognize artistic brilliance when we see it. If it IS popular, then it's bad art by definition (Leland D Howard, Norman Rockwell, etc.)
This is why Drew will never win a political contest. He says what he really thinks instead of what he is expected to say, and that absolutely infuriates certain people that he does not toe their party line.

We don't have to cut our energy usage to the bone, we just have to invest in carbon-neutral energy generation - then we can easily support our lavish lifestyles with zero carbon cost, and save money in the process.
Where do you GET crazy ideas like this? Have you even seen what global warming alarmists are saying? The whole climate change thing is just a tool to destroy Western civilization. And no, that's not a typo or a joke, it's what they've said themselves. They're quite proud of it, too.
But that utopia can never exist. It's a pipe dream, it's already been tried. At the largest scales, and by people who were much smarter and more committed than you. They were willing to murder millions of people to achieve utopia and they still didn't get it. In fact, they created a dystopia (for everyone but themselves, of course).
It doesn't work and it can never work. Now we're going to corrupt science, our only hope, so that it fits this utopian false thinking? That leads...to dystopia. For everyone except you, of course.
If we compare this to even the crappiest online definition of violence: âoebehaviour involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or somethingâ. Bingo. It fits: Pregnancy = may hurt, damage or kill. Intercourse = a man using his physical force to penetrate a woman. Intention / purpose of the act of intercourse = to cause pregnancy. PIV is therefore intentional harm / violence. Intentional sexual harm of a man against a woman through penile penetration = RAPE.
Through an all-pervasive and powerful male propaganda, they stuff our minds from infancy with the idea that PIV is normal, desirable and erotic, before we can even conceive of it as something horrifying, and make sure we never see any alternative to their lie â" or that if we do, we can no longer take in the information, are punished for thinking and saying otherwise. The fact we may not immediately feel raped doesnâ(TM)t mean itâ(TM)s not rape, objectively speaking.
Protectionism AND socialism? WTF? Which one are you, a racist or a progressive? If you're progressive, you support socialism. If you're a racist, you support protectionism. You seem to be confused. Progressives are internationalists. If there is a decision that Obama could make that benefits 10,000 Americans or 10,003 Somalians, then the second choice is clearly correct. If you're a racist, then you think "America first" and fuck the rest of the world.
So, which are you? Nationalist, or socialist? There's no union between these two sets. They are polar opposites.
The problem is when you define those that don't agree with you as bigots, and have no problem engaging in bigotry yourself. You call it social justice and really can't see why anyone would disagree with your extreme left-wing views. It's an affliction that, in my estimation, will only get worse. Why should any leftist listen to people who are obviously dissidents?
