Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

I spent the last few days watching The Pitt and I will never ever ever feel stressed out about my silly video game job ever again
a woman with glasses and a stethoscope says i am a savage classy bougie
Alt: Doctor Mel, a young white woman with glasses and a stethoscope stands outside the hospital in the ambulance bay. Her eyes are closed and she raps the lyrics to "Savage" by Megan Thee Stallion to herself, talking herself up and bracing herself.
The lyrics are displayed over the gif in white block letters: "I am a savage, classy, bougie, ratchet, sassy, moody, nasty."

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?
Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

One upside of AI is that human art feels more valuable, whimsical, and transcendent than ever before.
I'm in awe watching the craft on display in old movies; I'm ultra-charmed by hand-drawn doodles.
Everything human feels more precious and personal, and every artist is a treasure.

Me: wow, seems like Dickens was a little manic when he wrote A Christmas Carol
Wikipedia: he needed money and he wrote it in six weeks and he sorted out his story ideas by walking marathons around London also people mentioned he would laugh and cry as he wrote
Me: ah

I can't believe it took me this long to discover Little Shop of Horrors.
The puppetry of Audrey II looks so good it felt like I was losing my mind, and the Menken/Ashman music duo?!
PHEEEEEEEEEW, I'm obsessed.

Remember when Spider-Man 2 for PS5 came out and people realized the NPCs on the street all had dialogue with each other that you could eavesdrop on and then players in. A. SPIDER-MAN. Game. Took time out of swinging above the city just to follow people around on the street and listen to them? 🤔
The worst part as a writer is, like, NPC dialogue and barks and incidental text is the most fun stuff to write but takes the most time in terms of billable hours and has the least amount of screen-time, so for a corpo it just 'makes sense' to have an LLM pump it out

As a biologist, It really is a great analogy. Also trees. It's like saying, "There are trees and grass, you have to be one or the other." Ok... where is the line that defines "is a tree?" what about bush-like grasses? Palm trees? NON-tree palms? What about horsetails and their tree-like ancestors?

Nothing pulls me back into listening to musicals like a talented performer absolutely belting their guts out.
That kind of talent gets me every time, right in the goosebumps department.

Something I learned from a playwriting class: write the review before you start working on it.
Create the great review you want your project to get (imagine it’s by someone who Gets It) once it’s launched, and you’ll quickly tease out what the themes are, what’s important to you, and what isn’t.

What's your number one personal game design principle? And even better - does it have a cool name?
