John Carmack's been openly a huge dirtbag on twitter for years and years and it drives me absolutely mad how seemingly no one ever notices. I hate John Carmack. All my homies hate John Carmack.

Texas A&M continues to suck shit
1. Texas A&M has voted that Professors must seek out official permission to talk about trans people, sexuality, or race.

One of the professors said that the new policy would make routine lessons on things like the Holocaust impossible.

The Texas Board of Regents said it wasn’t restricting “teaching,” but professors—and a university press release—says otherwise.

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Reminder!!

Bluesky has a pronoun labeler you should really use!

Only those who subscribe to this will see it so you should do that. Don't worry, that's all it does.

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

Games are maybe the only medium where it's expected that the critic constantly meet the art on its terms only and not bring any of their personal opinion to it.
Wild opening paragraph, maybe you shouldn't be the one reviewing a Warriors game then

"A game should be reviewed by someone who has previous experience with the genre/series" actually no, diversity of opinions is good actually.
