There are people there who have lower levels of skill, lower levels of       knowledge, lower levels of experience. We hope they can grow and learn and       change. We hope they can        see other people making a whole catalog of mistakes and be able to recognize       what they are. Some of them can't, and they write the video game narratives       forever, but we hope they improve and get to the level where they're getting       rejected because the        manuscript is Not For Us, and not because it's unreadable, or it's a Hitler is       a Gandhi to the Jews in an Alternate Universe story.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
