Damn. Wasn’t prepared for that this morning. We often just internalize all of the hate as a given and move on. To have our experience be articulated and acknowledged in this way is a very strange feeling.

Just got this gorgeous print from one of my favorite artists @kinomaniac.bsky.social -
It’s dark and moody with incredible detail, capturing the rich and gothic tone of the movie perfectly (and I love the way it looks this natural wooden frame). One of my favorite pieces in my collection.

This is one of the best videos on development and UI/UX I’ve ever seen. 90% of it directly applies to video games as well. Before we can make a game fun, it has to make sense to the player and work under the hood.

The first big publisher that decides not to spend $100m on one AAA game and instead spends $20m on five AA games, or even $10m on 10 games, is going to make so much money...and they'll all pretend it's some amazing new business model rather than just How It Used To Work Before You Broke It.
At Gamescom, one sentiment remained consistent: We need to make games quicker. And to do that, more and more studios are turning to AI.

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago
Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart
To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL

Fucking hell. That sucks. I’m adding in the book price to my runjeffrun.com donation.
Hope you find a better publisher for the novel.
