An example of the main common stages of monster life. Assuming some luck with conditions, and not getting into later Elder span details.

I'm now either a boffin or a brainbox. Either way, PC Gamer picked up my analysis of GenAI disclosures on Steam: www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...
The brainbox behind Valve's Steam Labs says the number of Steam releases featuring GenAI in 2025 is 1 in 5, with 7% of all games on there now incorporating it: 'We’ve octupled last year’s figure'
But there's still "a vocal anti-AI sentiment among artists and gamers who simply won’t buy games with this stuff in."
