2025 was me coping with the world by doing a frankly huge amount of work on my game project and I still wake up in 2026 feeling like a total loser. There's no helping me I think

Clair Obscur has been in my library for like 4 months so I finally sat down to play it despite the AI kerfuffle around it. Some of the difficulty of a certain choice got stripped away by living in a real world where chatgpt talks people into offing themselves.. 🙃

Since people tell me not all airlines are like this, the Christmas-destroying Grinch airline is KLM and I actually thought they were decent before?
Today I found out that if you book a flight with a return and don't show up for the first part (because you flew in earlier for example) they will straight up cancel the return flight 🫡 telling you this so you won't find out the hard way, like I did

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.
But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

I had five fascinating conversations for this RPS piece, gathering perspectives on genAI chatbots in games, as seen in Where Winds Meet. Thanks to @meghna.bsky.social, @pyrofoux.bsky.social, @maxkreminski.bsky.social, and @chrisgardiner.bsky.social www.rockpapershotgun.com/horrible-bor...
"Horrible", "boring", and "cheap": Experts pan new chatbot NPCs, but some leave room for optimism
We speak to a collection of developers and AI experts about the potential impact of LLM-powered NPCs in videogames.

anyways be kind to your creatives and be a bit forgiving with us if we don’t seem as cheerful as usual and crash out every now and then- we’re all collectively having a rough one since idk 2021 or so
Nah I feel you and it’s valid to crash out from time to time. We’re all feeling the strain and we’re carrying so much. Someone with your experience should have it made, but this awful industry just continues to spit on us

What I wanna know is if any of the higher ups at Larian left between bg3 release and now. Because someone had to be in charge of the "no microtransactions, no cosmetics, no battle pass" strategy of BG3..having a hard time believing that was the work of the current CEO??

Hey if you make AI generated concept art that people will make into assets for the game then you have AI generated content in the game. I'm surprised I have to tell you this Mr CEO

"More or less okay with the way we're using it" is just manufactured consent from the guy who has the power to fire all these people in the worst games industry job market that has ever existed

So I know everyones talking about the game awards but I wanna talk about digital bodies actually. I was reminded today that have the ability to switch bodies as much as I want while others are so at home in theirs that switching feels uncomfortable. I wonder what the mechanism is behind this

Result of me going to the gym: Feeling like shit, knee pain, stress levels through the roof due to a misguided agreement to try counting calories and then they hit me with a 900 euro penalty in order to cancel the membership. No consumer protection in the netherlands huh

In S17 of #Taskmaster, Nick Mohammed dressed as a vampire for his tasks. The production scrubbed all his reflections when he's dressed like this, but the only way I knew is because someone told me about it. It's subtle and very cool.

Was reminded of my very favorite tweet of all time today:
This but with everything. Like, my laptop choice currently is "child labor, forced obsolescence and AI integration" vs "we should make room for racism as long as the racist likes FOSS" and there's only a little bit of hyperbole in that statement
ditching adobe is really hard when every alternative is either Flunkly™️ which is *almost* feature complete except for that one thing you do in Photoshop every single day or G.R.O.N.K., a FOSS app with the worst fucking UX you have ever seen in your life and no support for JPEGs for ethical reasons
