Audio (sound effects, music, and dialogue) has a weird relationship with temp assets, mostly because of issues revolving around human psychology.
Problem #1: How do you communicate that something you're hearing is temp?

The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

Vous avez sûrement déjà lu que la climatisation aggrave les canicules car l’air chaud rejeté à l’extérieur augmenterait la température des villes de 2 à 3°C.

Let's talk video game writing. Been a while since I've done one of these so we'll tackle a light and fluffy subject today:
Pen-and-paper RPGs, and what lessons DMing and adventure design have to teach about branching narrative writing in the BioWare, CD Projekt, etc. style.
