Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:

"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

Voice actors never get paid royalties on video games. It's one of the biggest scars on the industry as a whole.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

Feels very weird how some devs seem to now look at direct implementation of mechanics that simulate real gambling as being fine so long as they aren't the mechanism that directly siphons takes real money from you. I'm not sure I really agree with that principle personally.

#ffxiv another part of the saga (and now i'm naming names): first pic is from Nashanti Opal (one L)'s lodestone profile. 2nd pic is my neighbor & some of their their retainers. so apparently they are just unhinged levels of petty and now this is their entire FFXIV life across multiple characters

ffxiv screenshot of my neighbor, Nashanti Opall, crafting white rectangular partitions. she has over 500 listed on retainers with names like "Iamnashantiopal" and "Rentfreeinyourhead"

Not food related, but I just wanted to note that no horror movie has or will ever scare me as much as the cover of the Klutz Face Painting book did in 1992

A girl with blonde hair and a face painted to look like a cat or possibly Minnie Mouse, makes a wild expression, while wearing a red and white polka dot bow in her hair and bowtie around her neck

It’s like photos of corn on plastic in an inflatable corn maze on grass. The inflatable parts are yellow and blue. It looks like an AI hall of mirrors but it’s IRL.
