I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

I rarely post early versions of games to the Game UI Database, but from the moment I saw the UI for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, I knew I had to break the rules.
I don't think I've ever seen an interface take inspiration from comic book templates before!

I can't believe I only just noticed this, but the Teal & Pink colour scheme seen throughout Donkey Kong Bananza's UI is actually a reference to the colour palette of the first level from the original Donkey Kong!!

This is the best article I’ve read that perfectly sums up how I feel about Gen AI, and I urge you all to read it.
'I am more than a critic: I am a hater. I'm not here to make a careful comprehensive argument, I am here to be rude. Because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response.'
'I am more than a critic: I am a hater. I'm not here to make a careful comprehensive argument, I am here to be rude. Because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response.'
I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.
I Am An AI Hater
I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

They’re so jealous you can make music.
They have all the money in the world, but they’ve been driven insane because they don’t have your joy.

Writers should never modify their own prose as a reaction to what stupid fucking generative AI is doing -- that shit stole from us, and it stole poorly, incompletely, and has none of our magic and zero of our humanity, our experience, our wonder and fear, and it never ever will. Fuck AI. You do you.
