David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

We don’t want AI slop.
Stop sending us AI slop.
Stop wasting our time with AI slop.
It doesn’t sound good.
It’s antithetical to our core values.
You didn’t even make it.
Knock it off.

Buy MÖRK BORG here: pittrapshop.com/products/mor...
Snippet from a MÖRK BORG review: ”My mercifully succinct and somewhat crude description—though I will of course delve into agonizing detail—of Mork Borg: it is an overhyped, incomplete trash game, a fantasy heartbreaker without any heart, and I am of the firm belief that it was solely created by someone in order to mislead others into thinking they are some sort of game designer. Despite being at least three times longer than it has any right to be, Mork Borg offers little to nothing in terms of either innovation or interest, instead attempting to distract you through a combination of ill-conceived, shallow ideas, as well as inconsistent, atrocious, and at many times excessive art, font, and layout choices.”

Did board games peak with Liar’s Dice?
I feel like Hnefatafl gets close but Liar’s Dice remains the game my friends always ask me to bring.

I just released a new tileset! I had metal gear on the brain and did a study on how the old Ghost Babel game did its environment design. I got it working nicely with an autotiler too!

A 4 bit color square room with interconnected corridors and tile flooring. The tile is a little broken in spots. The walls have a nice top-down effect that makes them Pop out of the screen.

Based on feedback from developers- I’m planning to make a Remote Voice Actors starter pack, so if you’d like to be on that tell me about your studio and drop your reel.
(Also let me know if this already exists)

If you’re a remote VA please feel free to drop your game reel below- I’m always on the lookout for new voices to recommend!
(Also feel free to reintroduce yourself, us remote VAs need to network online extra hard)

tl;dr - the reason why pro-censorship groups, notably Collective Shout, have influence over the payment processors is because they’re backed by a lobbying group called GOSRN (the Global Online Safety Regulators Network)

if you’re looking at the PP censor situation, you might want to look into this.

“I really wish people would acknowledge the existence of and talk about the Global Online Safety Regulators Network (GOSRN) before it's too late. They thrive in the dark, but their existence impacts everyone. They're Collective Shout on steroids.” -Owllie (@eternowllie) (1/2) (tl;dr - the reason why censorship groups like Collective Shout have influence over the payment processors is because they’re backed by the GOSRN) “Five seconds of research: Collective Shout has connections to Australia's eSafety Commissioner. eSafety Commissioner is a member of GOSRN.

Currently on the phone with Visa

Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use

The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch

i like putting stuff like this in my calendar. i can't really bear to do it every day, but mine's on every 3 days reminder like this (and i include the phone number and any notes in the current entry, which gets propagated to all future calendar entries). this way i can keep it up and i won't forget

my thought process while making the
pixelvision8 palette ( lospec.com/palette-list...)

- no pure black/ white, for extra character
- colors that can produce loong color ramps e.g. white-yellow-orange-red-purple-black
- at least one definite 4 color grayscale (gameboy) ramp

This anonymous hate I got on tumblr is the best review that I could have asked for.

I wish I had written “thinly veiled anti-Al rant disguised as ethical guidance” on the cover of the book
a.co/d/92AHmvR
An anonymous tumblr ask that says: purchased A Comprehensive Guide on How to Ethically Implement Al in Your Business expecting a substantive, thoughtful resource. What I got was a one-sentence-long book that serves as little more than a thinly veiled anti-Al rant disguised as ethical guidance. Frankly, calling this a "comprehensive guide" is not just misleading —it feels like a joke at the reader's expense. If your goal was to frustrate and disappoint professionals genuinely seeking ethical Al strategies, you've succeeded. P.S. Al isn't as bad as you seem to think. In fact, this entire message was written by ChatGPT-respectfully and logically, without bias or fearmongering. Food for thought.
