i loved to play this in my grandparents’ computer room growing up. it was my cousin’s game and as a girl i didnt want to do any quests i just wanted to make characters and run around. i would try to steal but accidentally aggro‘ed entire villages. it would really stress me out

It’s 2005. I get up early before school and slip into my family's computer room. I turn the volume up just loud enough to hear the lofi medieval tunes and sfx, but not too much to wake my parents. I start a new quest and train my fishing skill. It’s chill.

This game was so hard and bad but I grew up mostly playing the free video games that came with cereal boxes because my parents thought children should play outdoors so I took what I could get.

before covid, there was a pandemic spread through the highly popular MMORPG world of warcraft in 2005. this resulted in one of the most fascinating wikipedia articles i’ve ever read.

gao hang’s work isn’t otherworldly - it’s from a world i love.
for months before i found his name, his artwork invaded my pinterest feed. it was arresting, humorous, nostalgic. ps1 graphics you can reach out and touch - if you were ever able to escape from the screen, that is.

in the wake of the untimely death of buddy duress, i am reminded of the magnetic energy i felt discovering the safdie brothers.
i first watched good time in film school, thanks to one of my only cool teachers (european). while i loved the film, i loved the safdie brothers‘ ethos even more.
they scouted their stars from around the city - interesting people with tough lives. from reading and listening to podcasts, it seemed hectic. buddy durress wasn’t a trained actor, he was sometimes homeless and other times locked up at rikers. how do you manage that kind of talent?
the article i’m including in this post could explain what the safdie brothers accomplish better than i can. their film heaven knows what is one of my all time favorites - but the story behind it solidifies why it’s so important.
i’m not sure what arielle holmes is up to now, but i’m grateful she indulged everyone long enough to be able to make that film.
