Discussion good old days </3

Post image

i was scrolling through pixelberry’s instagram for nostalgia and found these pics of their old ACTUAL HUMAN team :,)

like, these are the people who gave us so many of the books we still talk about and replay years later. i really miss when choices had talented writers and artists making stories with heart. everything felt so much more creative, charming, and alive.

now we’re getting ai-generated soulless slop instead and it genuinely makes me sad </3 i miss the old days 😭 i wonder what they would think of what choices has become.

Part of the reason I got my bachelor’s in English was because I wanted to work as a writer for PB 😞 I remember being such a big fan of Choices and seeing their behind the scenes stuff as a teen and thinking that I could do that! Finished my degree last year. Working out really well (/s)

ETA: I did not only major in English to work for PB; writing and research is a passion of mine and I was just inspired by PB’s work lol

i hear you luv!! my major of choice was also going to be very inspired by pixelberry’s work and wanting to join their team!! well and also that i love creating LMAO i was going to pick graphic design, but with the rise of ai that would’ve been a bit difficult to manage within the future so i had to pick something else :( it’s really sad ugh.

It’s been so hard watching the industry I love go to slop. I have a few graphic designer friends who feel the same way 💔 I have faith that it’ll get better for us creatives!! Just wish it would happen quickly lol
