thank you! took me a while to reply to this ask because i was thinking about it and then i forgot about it. i haven't played a lot of golf games but i mostly like online multiplayer ones because they're really fun to play with my girlfriends who are all in different countries. vertiginous golf and golf with friends are two recent [...]

in a moment of lovely synchronicity i rediscovered this David Byrne quote today.

"It can often seem that those in power don’t want us to enjoy making things for ourselves—they’d prefer to establish a cultural hierarchy that devalues our amateur efforts and encourages consumption rather than creation."
