Whatever production time and cost was "saved" by using AI for one of the most human-dependent disciplines in game making was actively obliterated by the act itself, overshadowing the hard work of every single other developer on the project and making this situation impossible to right. WHO KNEW.
For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

Checked my bag and the workers complimented my suitcase. Went through security and the worker shouted out my LA dodgers neck pillow.
My airport drip is insane and you can’t tell otherwise.

I don’t think we talk enough about that Justin Bieber lyric where he says “my mama don't like you and she likes everyone.”

I need @gameonysus.bsky.social to know that I heard your Blue Eyes White Dragon joke that you made on the latest @remapradio.bsky.social that @cado.bsky.social and @patrickklepek.bsky.social completely ignored. I laughed and stand in solidarity with your excellent joke.

I think this is less a "variety doesn't understand what this means" and more of "trying to force a joke that *really* doesn't work" but in either situation having a negro in the room would have prevented this

Putting aside the silliness of quoting something I wrote that shouts me out...
I am running MinnMax's socials again (for about a month). I'm excited to see and respond to y'all comments while also promoting all the cool stuff we do.

And last but not least, existing cohorts are helping out as well! Shout out to @ohheyitsjeffm.bsky.social (on emails/code distribution), @leovader.com (on show prep, production, posting), and @gameonysus.bsky.social (on social media). Everyone tell Ben we did a really good job when he gets back.

There is a like 8-10 year old kid playing a gameboy at the airport. I’ve never seen a kid play a retro console out and about like that.

I need to reiterate that Janet Garcia is my favorite games journalist for many reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is she's not afraid to say she doesn't like something that's generally loved by everyone else.
I don’t think we have talked enough about what a good run I’m on: I got married, went to universal and Disney with my friends, Pew Pew Bang won an award for best podcast of the year, and then the dodgers won the World Series on the same day I beat silksong act 2 and hate finished donkey Kong.

This older kid is crashing out so he’s stabbing his food heavily with his fork but these “desks” at LAX are actually just one long connected table with little divisions so he’s making the whole thing shake. Me and the woman at the table next to me are like:
