No Cartridge 181: [Caption Missing]
What is the appeal of non-translated works? Is it a way of exoticising something in an othering way? Or is it a way of divorcing parts of a story from themselves? And do videogames do this in a way that would differ from other media? In other words, is there something outside of the regressive gawking at the "other" in our enjoyment of untranslated work, or is it simply not all that interesting at all?

No Cartridge 180 - Gaming and The Sluts
A solo episode! I discuss experimental literature while musing on Dennis Cooper's The Sluts and Kathy Acker and ask why we don't have experimental games in the same way. The answer will reveal a bit about how medium expectations impact art in a way I think will be rewarding for all. Or not, but hell, I tried OK.Viewer discretion advised on this one for some intense descriptions of sexualized violence. Production also by the one and only Julian!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/no-cartridge-audio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Learn more about your ad choices.
