At first I thought this was comet, the shih tzu that won the toy group. But then I realized no, comet looks even more ridiculous even somehow

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

"E-bike owners are reminded to leave their bikes at home on Halloween."

When have the cops ever — EVER — advised drivers to leave their cars at home for the sake of kids' safety? Give me a single example.

Very frustrating to still see public campaigns like this from Delta PD telling kids to wear bright reflectors on their costumes and people to leave their bikes at home.

The risk to pedestrians on Halloween comes from drivers, not cyclists.

Today, Sept 30th, is a stat holiday in Canada you might not know about! National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is meant to honor the memory of a lot of first nations children robbed of growing up in the barbaric system known as Residential Schools!

It's a grim day, but a necessary one.

Update to this chart that I share a lot. Not breaking news: Game design teams are still OVERWHELMINGLY all men. About 7% of the top 500 games have a woman or non-binary person credited as a designer. A 🧵of related charts: (1/6)
🎲✂️
Gender of Game Designers: Board Game Geek Top 500, January 2025 A pie chart: 92% of the pie is Designed only by men. They made 461 of the top 500 games. 6% of the pie is Designed by a mixed-gender group. They made 28 of the top 500 games. 1% of the pie is Designed only by women or non-binary people. They made 5 of the top 500 games. Data are for January 1, 2025, using the names in the Designer field on BGG. Not shown are 6 games in the top 500 that have uncredited designers.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Making a Harry Potter game in 2025 without acknowledging the harm of transphobia at a bare minimum is a political statement

important life hack for video games
With video game prices rising, AI is a critical tool for developers and gamers alike. By seeing which games use AI, gamers can save money by not buying those games. @TheZeldaZone@mastodon.social

i don't mean to come off as rude but we cannot sustain ourselves on outrage and anger forever. i think it's even more important now to post about other things too. even if it gets less engagement. you never know who will find it cool and interesting.

It’s a real mindfuck when most ppl wanna post about their latest failures/successes, or weird shit they saw in the wild or cool stuff they made…but the country is a cesspool so cool/weird shit seems trite.

Time to post it again.
A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.

Oh hey, I'm proud to contribute to worker-owned and independent new site Skybox!

This is my essay about having a stroke, losing the ability to write or walk or play video games, and digging myself out of that depressive hole using video games. It's maybe the most vulnerable writing I've ever done.

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

So I worked on a WW2 historical fiction game years ago in my life, and even without AI it felt like a dangerous line to tread, where we all *understand* game is fiction but the reality felt like people might use us as presenting facts to have the burden of research taken from them
