Console modding seems so personal; it feels like artists are paid to care a lot about little things
that nobody else has time for.
It makes me think I should take a little more time to care about details. I tend to be big-picture focused in projects so I can get them done and have the effect. What do you think? What do viewers want? Are people happy with a detail-less painting with a good squint read?

Maybe we pick up hobbies for similar reasons; we like seeing other people do it ;)
I personally think every work is probably a relationship between those little details and the big picture. Both inform and express each other. A living whole.
The details have to lead the way to the big picture, and the big picture has to imbue the details with meaning and value.
If the details don't entice, then people might not want to follow.

Writing "Hearts on the Line," I've actually encountered some of this myself. I really liked the overall concept of it and thought that it would kind of speak for itself, but, at the end of the day, each individual poem needs to speak for itself. Ideally, each poem should be fully worthwhile without even considering the big picture of the series. That is something I am coming to understand more and more.
That's awesome. Looks great! And inspiring to see you finally completing it. I think a lot of us have these projects looming that feel just outside of our comfort zones.
To me, "Metroid Zero Mission" is my favorite GBA game, so that would be my recommendation (I know I've mention it many times before, hehe). Also, if you haven't played "Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga," that's a fun one. And a big comfort game for me is "Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land" -- it's a beautiful remake of a classic NES game.

You live and you learn. :)
:) I'll think about that, thanks

I love the GBA, hehe.
