1/3 Connecting Bacon to Scorn, Beksinski to Still Wakes The Deep - are we just playing academic join-the-dots? As someone guilty of this, I wonder: beyond "ooh, neat reference," what insights do these comparisons yield about games processing modern anxieties? #gamestudies#frog24

3/3 Silent Hill's fog: tech limitation or artistic choice? Pathologic's surreal plague: genuine commentary or pretentious obscurity? As we elevate games to "art," are we forcing connections that aren't there? Maybe it's time we admit: sometimes a creepy corridor is just a creepy corridor. #frog24

2/3 Sure, Scorn's biomechanical horrors echo Giger, but how does this 80s-inspired aesthetic truly reflect 2020s crises? Are we mistaking artistic homage for meaningful commentary? Sometimes I feel trapped in an art culture bubble, but don't games offer more than visual nostalgia? #frog24
