Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

When I tell you that Orville Peck’s latest EP “Appaloosa“ is one of the best things I’ve ever heard, I am not being hyperbolic. It is beautiful, soulful, inspired, and sad. It’s in my all-timer pantheon immediately next to Neko Case’s early work. I can’t wait to listen to it again.

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

I always think about my favorite poet on Veteran’s Day—Wilfred Owen, a soldier who died in combat, who saw terrible things & transformed them into urgent, horrific, & beautiful words.
because it is not “sweet & beautiful” to die for your country.

I‘ve been thinking about the scene in The Godfather Pt. 1 where Clemenza shows Michael the gun for the Solozzo hit. He says: “you gotta stop them at the beginning, like they should have stopped Hitler at Munich. They were just asking for big trouble.” I can’t help but feel like we missed the moment.
