I'm me everywhere because I'm not very original.
Sometimes I make things. Mostly I buy supplies to make things, & then don't make the things.

Today I saw three kids -- boys, maybe 12, 13, 14 years old -- riding bikes, and they were holding fishing poles and one had a bucket, and they said "hello!" as they passed. Then I, a Normal Adult, yelled after them, "Looking for Ray Brower down by the train tracks?" and they uhh rode away faster.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free”
the library bought it.
which in turn means that the community bought it.
In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

just sent me this, and while broadly true, I have to exclaim that in our case, no - we in fact bought our VHS from Kevin Smith & Jason Mewes themselves, at the original Secret Stash.
Or, my friend did; I was buying the first Oni Press double feature and a Mallrats t-shirt.

So, no, what I wrote above isn’t actually about owning this schmuck on the grounds of “AI” actually having the power to eliminate jobs. As I’ve said time and again, “AI” is merely a permission structure for antilabor decisions that businesses wanted to make in the first place.

What this reveals is that for most people in charge right now “AI” is less useful as a technology than as a piece of language to shift a conversation in whatever direction they need it to go. In one minute it will propel a new economy; in another it’s the reason for a recession.
