You could prefix 'porn' on all of those options, maybe including 'porn sports'.

Television in a walk. There's very little new music, film, or literature that excites me much anymore, but a pretty rich history of each that I've yet to fully dig into. Whereas I seem to get into new TV shows all the time.

jjj, I was wondering why you weren't picking "music" and then I realized that by picking "games" you are effectively silencing all of the ppl who come to your store and try out the guitars poorly

can you make stuff in any of the categories?
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 20:47 (1 year ago) Permalink
strike through games and tv easily b/c i don't even do that shit anyway.
reluctantly letting literature go, tbh i've never placed much emphasis on being au courant with the literature scene and there's so much in the past to keep me going.
with film it's the other way round, i watch current stuff and buzzed-about films so i can talk about them. but i don't obsess over film like even 1% as much as i do over music, i'm a consumer not an obsessive of the form. i can just watch the old stuff, i'll be fine.
aaaargh sports vs music. sports literally useless unless you're following it in real time. new music is obviously my lyfe.
i actually think i'd go for sports. i can imagine giving up following new music more easily than i can imagine stopping caring about tennis. though w/r/t the latter if azarenka and sharapova dominate for much longer that might be worth a rethink.

hmmm this sucks....games are my pick probably because they are getting better and will change more over time than the rest
but
sports seems almost useless when not in the context of the now, so that would be the only one that would be rendered pretty much worthless, whereas there are obv lots of good old games
as far as books/tv/movies/music there is just so much good stuff you could watch from the past that it wouldn't really matter that much

i think i take games here, i definitely don't care as much about new games right now as sports or new music, but losing out on them has the highest potential opportunity cost imo if proper virtual reality is developed in my lifetime
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 20:57 (1 year ago) Permalink
Oh, shit, I didn't even think about making stuff. Obviously it'd still be down to music vs literature for me, but if we sidestep the issue of whether critical stuff is 'literature' then it's still easily music, simply because I occasionally manage to finish a musical project, whereas all my lit remains barely quarter-finished.

Music easy, but I think the future of games could possibly be disturbingly interesting, so even though I don't really play v. many now I might feel like I was missing out in a few years
Everything else, w/e, movies are already done, literature is so not-21st-century, tv might have a few more good years in it but come on, sports are good times but not art what gives life meaning (or are they...?_?)

i can immediately scratch sports from the list; i do like sports, but i don't care about them. this is a tough question because all these (remaining) categories have enough old content to keep me going for a very long time. the world is enormous and i am pokey. what does the literature category encompass, exactly? fiction and non? if it includes popularized science then i choose literature. maybe. hmm.

Games - could easily can thisLiterature - would feel very guilty about doing this but so much past out thereMusic - probably the same, if I'm honest, although it might kill going out dancing and festivals and stuff which has been a huge part of my social lifeSports - would never watch historical sports, this would be really trickyTV - could live without it BUT it would kill a lot of sports watching
TV and sports basically cancel one another out so it's between literature and music and I'm plumping for literature.

immediate reaction literature>>music>>>>movies
I went with literature, without analysis, because I had such a strong reaction
interested in arguments around the existing unexplored volume of work. so much lit, music, & film that I haven't explored, and could probably spend the rest of my life with what already exists. so it comes down to what I value as the most important art form, and I'm going with literature.
Don't do sports or games really, and I have a love/hate relationship with TV, though engaging and sometimes great TV continues to be made.

I picked videogames cos even though I really don't play anything (haven't really been a huge gamer since Super NES) I am consistently amazed by the way the form is evolving, if only from a technical perspective. Playing videogames in the future will probably be a super immersive and mindblowing experience. I think it has a far bigger potential to evolve than music, literature, movies, or TV.
