"You want diversity? Do like I'm doing -- learn to model your own stuff and say to hell with this nonstop nonsense. " Or stop putting what sells ahead of what's fun to make. Part of the reason tht little site I'm involved with got started was to specifically not make stuff like everyone else was making at the time. Our stuff might not sell umpteen bazillion units at once, but it does sell, and it keeps on selling. Because it is not the flavor of the moment, but something original and unique and well crafted. Its something that pervades the business -- and makes for a bad business model. Hyacinths!!! Yes!!! Hya -- Lordfox!

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
