Hey, if you’re in the game industry and have a literature degree, would you please comment?
We got a family friend over here who insists my having a career in games while holding a literature degree is a one-off aberration and per usual, I’m not letting it go.

In my journaling game Be With Me you use paint swatches you get from the hardware store as people that you write about dating. What are some other things that aren't people but inspire full human persons to you?

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?

Related: If you like anime, whether you realize it or not, you've probably marveled at an "Itano Circus;" an action scene featuring aerial combat, with loads of skittering projectiles chasing a target.
This was developed by Ichirō Itano. Watch a compilation here.

Yeah, no, it’s confusing 🫤
Afaik, it’s hitboxes for dealing damage, hurtboxes for receiving damage.
Maybe we start calling them damage outboxes and damage inboxes.

The Escapist accused Blue Prince developer Dogubomb of using generative AI. This is patently false and an utterly gross accusation.
The story has since been amended, but the damage has been done. You can search out the current version if you want, but here’s the original.

The idea that all human knowledge is on the internet is ridiculous. Not everything is written down. The internet of today is missing a ton of historical knowledge that existed in the internet of the past even, and is just lost now
When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.
