8BitPhilosophy

Mia: Yes, we will look in to it. Do people think we're way lefties? Just because we don't cover Ayn Rand doesn't mean we're Marxists. it just means she's not a real philosopher.

Jared: We've been meaning to do an episode on Eastern philosophy for a while, but just haven't gotten around to it. Mostly because our two writers are mostly trained in the western traditions.

Yes, we're good friends with Alain de Botton and we're planning to collab with him soon.

Jared: V for Vendetta is something we'd probably cover on Thug Notes, so no plan to do it for 8-bit. de Sade sounds fun to me. I'm a big fan of the movie Salo so I would love to cover de Sade.

MB: 8bit philosophy is animated using a laptop from 1999 and actual NES development software, the reason it looks so authentic is because it is an authentic videogame with no programming added. The animation process typically takes about 5 days with the most difficult part being creation of new assets.

Jared: MB is a mix between a hacker and an animator

Mia: YES! We love us some stoics!!
