“Would playing Wind Waker as a male protagonist really cause problems for Hoye’s daughter? Hoye doesn’t know and says he “probably can’t know. I did this because playing through Wind Waker is something my daughter and I like doing together, and because I think Maya deserves to have the game address her as herself. She’s not an NPC, and Dad’s favorite pastime shouldn’t treat girls like second-class citizens.” —

“The similarities between Mondrian and chiptunes, though, are analogous in more ways that just this. The actual visual forms have some striking correspondences, too. Mondrian was interested in using geometric shapes to illustrate what he thought of as transcendental truths. But if we look at 8-bit music – I mean literally look at it – it turns out that those beepity-boopity noises are the sonic manifestation of geometric figures as well.” —
