“[Eventually] humanities depts will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.”

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

::Once Upon a Galaxy Bug Hall of Fame::
There is a bug with Viscount Chocolat where if it reduces the enemy to exactly 0 health, it remains alive. Since characters with 0 or less attack don't attack, this can create an infinitely-recurring* Punxsutawney Phil... for your OPPONENT.

New article: one thing from every inkle game that we failed to explain clearly enough, and how often we've been made to regret it.
You can’t underestimate everyone
Here is a quick list of features in inkle games which we failed to tutorialise or remind players of enough. The data is empirically backed…

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing.
Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.*

Did you know?
If you search Scryfall for which cards that aren't basic lands have 99 printings, you'll get Command Tower.
And for which cards have 100+ printings?
A sole ring to rule them all.

Played through Keeper. Slow “walking sim” type game that blossoms into something cool. You are a walking lighthouse that solves puzzles with your bird friend. It goes other places beyond that setup, which was a relief and a joy.

New Supreme Vintage Cube draft is coming to MTGO for a week starting tomorrow. I was able to help review this one in development and am excited to see what kind of decks people come up with. The lists can feel close to Vintage constructed!
I'll likely stream it tomorrow night!

According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true.
I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had.
I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

this guy is posting fake, ai generated, "historical" footage of disneyland. at first glance it looks great, but it's riddled with problems (if you're me), and none of it is labeled or watermarked.
and the comments are effusive. "amazing!" "best footage i've seen!". i truly hate this at a deep level
