it's also the reason why so much of videogame criticism is formatted like consumer reports on appliances. the emphasis on supposedly objective scores, not just overall, but categorised.
imagine novel reviews being broken down into seperate scores for grammar, amount of unique words, page count, etc!

“Game design” as in “how can we psychologically manipulate the player into Maximum Retention EnterGagement over the course of a 3 month battle pass season” is satan
But “game design” as in “how many dudes can we put on the NG2 staircase without red ringing the player’s 360” is essential

I feel like a little farmer at my little game potato farm sitting between the nations of Game Design and Anti Game Design, sweating constantly as I see both sides arm for war.

Others have noted this before, but it's ENRAGING to see corporations and bosses give this bullshit "A.i." trash FAR more leeway for error and general crappiness than they'd ever give any human creator.
I've started to see arguments that we have to get used to AI Slop coding even if it isn't great, because it's fast. Humans could go faster, too, if they're allowed to turn in stuff that only sometimes works. Such a fascinating double standard that will in no way come back to haunt, naw.

“bsky is boring!”
1) good
2) social media should not be a cornerstone of your everyday entertainment
3) I find new artists to follow every day and look at pretty art endlessly on here when I feel like it
4) get a tactile hobby where you create something with your hands
5) read book
6) walk outside

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!
As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

it's fascinating to read so many reviews of action games where the writer clearly doesn't consider "learning" or "getting better" to be a type of progress and instead demands in-game rewards for participating at all

dark souls would be a better game if you could grab and throw every enemy like in a bmup. every enemy. even the big ones. let me powerbomb the iron golem. let me suplex the ceaseless discharge

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.
I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.
