I'm Hanna, a creative director / tech artist / writer who has worked on 40+ games, movies, and TV shows. I have a background in interactive fiction, UI, film, programming, VFX, theatre, journalism, and religious cult studies, which is both strangely confluent and difficult to fit in 300 characters.
Steam's AI disclosures should require a list of the exact tools used, so players and reviewers can judge just how much content the developer stole or plagiarized from actual creatives

Sometimes I go for a walk on the Seawall in the morning, and almost every time my Bluetooth headphones start glitching. Which is very odd, considering I'm not actually near any buildings. So is there something very powerful broadcasting at various locations near the Seawall? and is it nefarious

After Silksong do I play:
- ARC Raiders (I'd love to get lost in a multiplayer world as a solo player, and it's in its honeymoon phase)
- Expedition 33 (love a good story, and games that actually end)
- Dispatch (story again, and with my schedule there's a decent chance I'll actually SEE the end)

As a transgender ZZT-obsessed former sysop, I had to put A/S/L by @jeannethornton.bsky.social down after two chapters, get a cup of coffee, and literally just go walk into a forest. You're cutting deep, Jeanne. To the bone. Going to just stare at a tree for an hour.

If you're wondering how this will go Square Enix handed off their mobile Octopath game to NetEase who immediately started using ChatGPT to translate everything resulting in text like this. When players complained they started asking fans to fix their translations in exchange for in-game currency

Hi. I've been trying but I can't come up with a good thing to write here because the thing I wrote in this steam post took most of my energy.

Hi! UNBEATABLE was supposed to come out tomorrow! That’s a scary sentence. Here’s a worse one: UNBEATABLE will now release on December 9. I hate that I have to say this. There’s no way to apologize f...

I wonder how much of this has to do with liability. If/when shit starts to hit the fan in terms of training AIs on stolen work, they could deflect the consequences and have Google take the hit instead. (in additional to not having to build the infra for an obvious bubble, while benefiting from it)

Hey it sounds like I was right about 2/3, but I didn't have "everything that isn't AI is now free" in the cards. Which is good news for today and terrible news about the future direction.

Hey guess what, I once again shipped my laptop to Dell for repair and I just got a notification that it's being shipped back. Did they test it for the problem I sent in it for? LOL OF COURSE NOT
Paid to send my out-of-warranty laptop to Dell for repairs, paid for repairs, they sent it back, SURPRISE it still has the exact same singular problem I sent it in for (slams head against desk)
