Sorry, I have to harp on Rangers too.
Dungeons and Dragons can't seem to capture the magic of the Ranger.

Hi everyone! I finally finished the first article on my Substack, where I discuss how and why the ranger class for Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition 2024 is considered the weakest of the classes on release. I hope you enjoy!

Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney believes small teams will soon be able to use AI prompts to make video games on the scale of Nintendo masterpiece The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

I posted about this on my LinkedIn, but this is EXACTLY why EA's return to office mandate is so bullshit. Why in the world would I trust them to keep my team alive for another 6 months when they had recently fired 300 to 400 people, and will obviously shut down entire studios at their whim?
BREAKING: Electronic Arts is canceling its planned Black Panther game and shutting down developer Cliffhanger Studios.

I'm going to be so honest, I forget I have this account so often haha. Hope everyone is doing well! I'm preparing a big move up to Vancouver (Washington, not Canada) and I think that has motivated me more than ever to get back to working on games, especially short, one page RPGs.

In recent weeks, video game publishers Take-Two and EA both warned investors about potential "reputational" risks to the use of gen-AI in games. It's a problem that all game companies will soon need to confront: Players hate genAI.

This is it, I think: Wikipedia is the fruit of conscientious, imaginative humans working for decades. AI is a couple of nanoseconds of pattern recognition pulled out a virtual arse. Wikipedia is free, AI has subscription tiers. Wikipedia is the opposite of AI - it's good, free, and works.
I do genuinely wonder how many people think what happened with Wikipedia is that “society accepted it” rather than that they put a ton of work into making it reliable, something that is not going to make AI reliable because no technology to actually understand meaning has been or can be invented.
Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

LGBTQ voters went 86% for Harris. Attacking them, and especially trans people as the reason for losing the election is electoral suicide. They make up 7% of voters. Without them, every single democratic senator that won would've lost.

Hard to describe as a journalist how grateful I am to have a text-based app that does not suppress hyperlinks. I don’t know if people realize exactly how hostile the corporate internet has gotten toward news.

Lots of mixed news the last two days for the industry. Studios seperating from larger publishers is great news, but also plenty of layoffs or RTOs going on. Really frustrating to follow, but just maybe we will see minor improvement in some ways.
