3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

do not give into thoughts like “nothing matters”, it’s not true. everything matters as long as we are all alive

The idea that 'AI can speed up dev cycles' would require a premise that dev cycles are long because people are taking forever to make assets (so you could replace them with shoddy slop and it'd go faster), which you could only believe is true if you've never actually tried to make a video game
At Gamescom, one sentiment remained consistent: We need to make games quicker. And to do that, more and more studios are turning to AI.

At Gamescom, it felt like the industry now has a plan: make games quicker | Opinion
And at least part of that plan involves AI

a lot of people wouldn't get it, and that's fine, but this is a sad and difficult time for everyone involved directly or indirectly in the plugin community. my heart goes out to archon for having a passion project of three years ripped out from under him

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it:
Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

the difference between 15 minutes and 20 minutes cannot be overstated. 15 minutes is basically 7-10 minutes and 20 minutes is basically 30 minutes

Ok, you know why I don’t like Gavin Newsom? You know how in While You Were Sleeping, Peter Gallagher’s family all talks about how he rescued a nest of baby birds as a kid, and later he admits he knocked their nest out of the tree with a rock, then made sure everyone saw him rescue it?
That’s Gavin.
That’s Gavin.

yeah I feel like I've been gaslit lately, didn't people complain endlessly about both bozja and eureka on launch??
and i think a lot of folks forget that both eureka and bozja unfolded over several patches, a lot of the fun essences in bozja just didn't exist at launch

I met a friend (a cat, Kit) pretty far from home, so I decided to walk him home
but then on the way we met another cat (Sigge) who is not friends with Kit
and then a third friend (EB) overheard us talking, and so he too came trotting over
none of them are friends but they're all friends with me
