Please do not purchase Luck be a Landlord on Xbox. I will be making a $10,000 donation to The Palestine Children's Relief Fund to (hopefully) help offset the revenue the game has generated for Microsoft.

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

Ed / @chaosed0.bsky.social's pick: Quake 1 🔫
"I played it for the first time this year. While the game itself can feel dated, the modding community is incredibly vibrant, breathing new life into an old engine. Shoutout to the QBJ3 team!"

ICE abducted Leticia Jacobo and tried to deport her, she is Native American.
Polk County Sheriff’s Office, which held her for ICE, admitted that it was a ‘clerical error’.

i just make video games man you can just make them you dont have to get up on stage and say dumb shit instead of making a video game
Dead Space and Call of Duty’s Glen Schofield says he’s been experimenting with generative AI for 2 years and believes it can help ‘fix’ the games industry.
“AI isn’t here to replace us, it’s here to make us better, faster, and more efficient,” he says. “It’s a tool”.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field.
There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese now also names Microsoft among 48 corps aiding the genocide. Based on the reporting from earlier this year but perhaps lends credence beyond BDS's (and my own) claim that Microsoft is complicit.
