Personal opinions on gamedev, tech, and (sigh) politics. Skepticism. Science. Snark. Author (RTCD). Ex-Activision, ex-Sony, ex-Neversoft, ex-uni lecturer.
These "how game AI R&D has largely stagnated" takes greatly frustrate me; they are either uninformed or miscategorize how game dev works. "R&D" implies _structured_ and _funded_ efforts. By that definition games don't do (AI) R&D, at all. The thrust is well-meant but ignores how game dev operates.

Just like an actual mafia don, Don Trump expects full fealty, maintains it with threats and intimidation, and actively goes after those he perceives have slighted him.

This is why all the Reps (Lindsey Graham et al) lick his arse, because he can destroy their careers and they are all spineless.

“Patriotism” is the gateway drug into “nationalism.”

For a moment there I thought it was bizarre you’d name an English computer after a 70’s German police procedural. (Before I looked it up and realized I was thinking of “Tatort.” Oops.)

I think game development years are like dog years, boomer.
