I'll say it again:
Why does anyone give a fuck what a CEO says? You aren't like us.
Even if that's true, it shouldn't be. There are games not being made with AI and those should be the ones we are supporting.

I'm going to start putting together some free info and resources for indie game devs looking to self-publish. I see a lot of people making simple mistakes, and hear a lot about being overwhelmed by what they need to do.
Do folk have specific self-publishing questions they'd want answered?

don't remember if I've mentioned this before. tell anyone you see using Google to do this.
hiding "actually do what I asked" is another expression of the paternalistic techbro mindset that gives you "yes" or "not now" options for an unwanted new feature or only lets you hide something "for a while"

This is in no way apologism for Google but click Search Tools and select "Verbatim". It makes it work how you expect

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

people need to stop running these kinds of scams i just wanna ask my friends to playtest my games man
If you don't know this yet, this is the new cookie stealing scam online.
A friend you talk to will contact you letting you know they developed a game and they want you to test it out for a few minutes.
they then send a link to a random site, and it will steal your cookies and stuff
