For me it was right after I graduated.

This is an "ironic" post right

It doesn't take a degree to know if something works or not. It's like you don't have to be a pro artist to criticize a painting.
>>338404994
No?
>>338404871
That shit is more like an anti-credential.

Not a professional, but you need to understand art (I.E. be an artist) in order to have an opinion worth a shit. Its the same with vidya but nobody likes to admit to this so they can pretend their own opinion is worth anything (it isn't).

Most people who talk about design aren't experts on design. You can become an expert on design through personal work in the field or through extensive study. Most people have not done either.

Oh man
There is honestly nothing more annoying than people with serious mental issues speaking on any kind of topic with self-imposed authority.

At least they usually communicate via wall of text so it's easy to spot and ignore

yeah you need art history education to criticize art on anything beyond "subjective opinion"
and funny how we have a bunch of critics already when there is barely any agreement on how to study video games as a new medium to begin with

After Mr Plinkett became popular, all the AVGN ripoffs turned into "serious analysis" videos and now everyone thinks they're the smartest.

An opinion carries more weight if you can explain it properly and give reasons, but even a complete layperson can have an opinion worth considering. If a group of pros come together and say something looks great but a bunch of normal people say it's ugly, there might be something else to consider.

Yeah the fact that most people are retarded
>there are people who make a living by spending their lives consuming media and then complaining about it
>>338404871
pff, I didn't go to video game school, I went to video games.

How much did this cost you ?
>>338404613
apple, google, gnome, etc. started releasing human interface guidelines a few years ago, which are documents you can read and feel like a UI expert afterwords

For others retards like him, sure.

I would only be mad about this if "professional" designers didn't routinely put out bad designs
