And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.

In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

If you were that close and grateful to work with a sexist and now apparently an AI shill, I doubt your priorities were that misaligned.

In case anyone forgot, this is also the guy who thinks women aren’t resilient enough to get their games published.

Today I want to share that Ryan Dancey and AEG have parted ways.
This is not an easy post to write. Ryan has been a significant part of AEG’s story, and I am personally grateful for the years of work, passion, and intensity he brought to the company. We have built a lot together.

Reposting with ALT because this kind of phenomenal disdain and disrespect from within the industry literally against two of their own titles and the designer who made them is important to recognize.

The pro-AI, anti-game-designer nonsense Suz is quoting below is on LinkedIn, in the comments on a post by the SAME PERSON about how AI told him to *walk* to the car wash. (The cognitive dissonance is killing me!) Here's what I replied over there:

as a spectating UB enjoyer this is such dogwater awful set design, likely mandated down from executive levels

were tmnt bigtime important to me, I would be excited to see 4 ninja turtles commanders, and then tickled by the 5 colour conjoined commander card

5+ versions of each one is just messy
There will be at least twice as many commander cards for TMNT's 4 titular Turtles (~32) than there were legendary creatures in Lorwyn Eclipsed (16)
*sigh* a turtle in every pack

Open up my torso and you'll find this etched onto my ribcage like the zinger to some cosmic horror novel.
I think a lot board gamers underestimate the depth of light games and overestimate the depth of heavy games. More moving parts does not necessarily mean a game has more strategy. It often just means there's more noisiness obscuring the impact of your decisions.

So to make this toy even better, we now know this guy's real name is Crispin Killgore and he's a wealthy South African who wanted to own a real dinosaur ever since he was a spoiled little brat, and works with Cobra exclusively because they were willing to fund his sketchy cloning project.

I contracted as a paid media strategist at agencies for many years, basically auditing efficiencies for PPC clients. Throughout 24-25, they axed me because various AI tools made my job “unnecessary”. Seeing this contextualizes the “how’ve you been” text I got from a former colleague last week lol
lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard
