“But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.”

literally everyone ever suggesting any version of what sounds like "moderate" politics is always actually deeply conservative
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Again, to every videogame writer who wrote funny emails to read in an immersive sim/etc. where I rolled my eyes and said out loud, "lol like anyone would ever email something this on the nose", again, sorry, I was wrong, life sucks, you nailed it

Even the most cautionary reporting on AI always takes the position that ‘obviously, AI has incredible benefits but we should be cautious of these dangerous aspects.’ They’re never specific about exactly what those benefits ARE right now. At best, we get speculative future prospects, if that. 🤖

I started this ages ago then got distracted by everything. Finally finished though. Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a special game. For all the soft, gentle, painfully awkward, and painfully earnest girls out there with their intimate friendships or the friendships they dreamed they had.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Great news but I’m really gonna need these two two back as well. Also Oded please and thank you.

This part.
There is for sure a marketing gap. It’s not that narrative games don’t sell, it’s that a lot of publishers aren’t set up to sell them. It’s a lot easier to blame the marketplace or devs for an issue than to give their marketing teams the resources they need to get it done.
It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

“And that ardent love, that extreme devotion, that is not a coincidence. That comes as a result of knowing that not only are you seeing a narrative, but it sees you back.” Love this piece on #IWTV by @rotemrusak.bsky.social nerdist.com/article/inte...

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”
