One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

I could quote any part of this article and it would be incredibly poignant, but this part in particular stuck out to me. Art is meant to challenge people, to make people uncomfortable; but too often the people on top are willing to sacrifice it for the sake of commercial viability.

Also how childish is it to be boiling down a piece of art to just an enumeration of things it depicts that you find objectionable. If we care about video games we have to eradicate this kind of reductive nonsense.

people getting their spotify wrapped today: it's a great time to switch to another service. spotify is doubling and tripling down on taking ICE's business and running ads.
switching to tidal took me all of a few minutes and they made their own annual most-played thing anyway.

A lot of people on here will (correctly!) sing the praises of Arcadia and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, but it should also be noted that his translation of Anton Chekov’s The Seagull is genuinely one of the greatest translations to exist.

The Phantoms are the development team for the Flyers. Melvin is best friends with Gritty. None of this is surprising.

I don’t know how to take good videos, but I’ve been working on these gauntlets for my Vi cosplay for MONTHS and they’re finally at the end of the building stage.

I've been so lucky to count Belinda as my friend before she was my co-worker, and it destroys me to lose her like this. She is such an amazing, thoughtful writer, and was such an immense well of positivity on our team.
I love her dearly, and you should absolutely snap her up as soon as you can.

Hannah is brilliant and funny and such an amazing cheerleader for other members of the team. Please please please snap her up.
Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

Hannah is quite literally what you would call “the best”, with a complete and holistic view of narrative and you should snap her up right away.

Hannah is such an exceptional writer and designer, and I feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with her at both Crystal and Telltale before that. She's a powerhouse. I am absolutely devastated to lose her, and encourage anyone to reach out and hire her. I am a better writer for working with her.

This was actually very cathartic to fill out because of the anonymity of it. Got to go off on payment processors and genAi in games lol.
anyway for my fellow devs I recommend filling out the state of the industry survey, it's imperfect but about as good as we get in trying to get a yearly pulse of the industry
