the idea that lots of gamedevs are secretly using ai is booster bullshit
what on earth would I use genAI tools for? Coming up with ideas? Writing? It’s shit at those
making 3D models? Coding stuff? It’s shit at that too
oh but it’s faster maybe? Did I mention it’s shit at things?
seems important

Since apparently there is James Bond discourse, here’s the simplest way to get out this self-imposed “how do we unkill Bond” mess.
YOU DON’T *NEED* CONTINUITY, FFS
Keep the same actors for M, Moneypenny, Q, Leiter, and Lashana Lynch as 008 or whatever number.
New Bond.
Set it in the 60s.
EASY.

And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary.
We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff.
Skill issue.

hard not to feel like we (whoever is left in games media) waged a battle for a decade we could never win
Hard not to connect yesterday's Media Watch stuff to more games media job losses.
Sad fact: these fuckups are inevitable when there is no way for people to cover video games ethically and pay the rent.
We exist in an ecosystem built to sell us shit with zero oversight. It's all by design. Borked.

I guess I'm taking a break from Marvel Snap? For really the first time since it came out.
Is the Meta bad? No.
Is the Monetization egregious? Yes, but that's not the reason (I have yet to spend more than $10 total)
Nope, the game just simply won't load on my phone anymore. Even from fresh install.

Being excellent at math is knowing *how* to build the Torment Nexus. Learning to interact with other people is knowing why you *shouldn’t* build the Torment Nexus.
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here).

"Second stage is people rejecting conspiracy discourse" is genuinely hilarious, I gotta teach em a little about Yakub and maybe they'll change their tune
