There is a huge difference between forcefully playing a game for Gold farming and playing it willingly to ease off your stress (even if you endup raging and getting more stress. <.<)
It has the stressed, overworked, cynical tone of an art director. I think it's 100% legit. That company not only hired AI bros, but ones that don't know how to use in-paint
I'm under the impression that being an artist (i wouldn't know firsthand) is very stressful work, therefore these posts seem to be a way to relieve some stress with mindless dickery. That and alchohol (amirite)
My expert medical diagnosis: I'll bet it's an eye spasm from stress. I get them occasionally. Nothing you can do except lower stress levels, or heavily medicate ;)
