realization: english is the language i *can* use to be more honest to myself because: 1- it doesn't have a lot of the baggage that, being the growing language, portuguese carries in my soul, *and* 2- it was the language that *i* decided to learn because i wanted to talk with computers better ☺️

IMO the approach of "I need to f*ck with your computer because I don't trust you" is reprehensible. 👎
Maybe you should spend some of that "creativity" on why an aimbot is your genre's Achilles heel, instead of 15 flavors of day 1 horse armor. 🤷

"AI is a tool."
No. Empirically not. A tool empowers people; helps people. It solves an extant problem. Generative AI in creative mediums is being used as a cudgel that diminishes and eliminates people, and the only "problem" being solved is fiscal.
Stop validating it, even in passing.

technology that makes people more productive is inherently used to perpetuate capitalism, that’s why I make videogames, technology that makes people less productive

the "are games art?" debate is so funny because gamers and game company execs are steadfastly determined to make the answer "no"
sincerely cannot imagine being this stupid or anti-art

This whole experience has really revealed how many of you would follow an alluring voice into the deep woods
everyone talking about Frieren's demons has missed a better comparison, so-called "AI" like Grok, Claude, ChatGPT, a thing that mimics human syntax brilliantly, isn't capable of human thought or emotion, but merely preys on people

videogames are *so* art most people think of the same few ultra valuable famous ones instead of the rich variety of things people make to express themselves with niche audiences, most of which won't earn a lot but were worth creating for other reasons

videogames are *so* art they have attained the cultural position of being primarily an instrument of financial speculation for the already-wealthy

One of the major fruits of research is delight. Think of how often you’ve read about a discovery and really enjoyed it. Often the most pleasurable kind of news. Public delight isn’t discussed enough as one of the major outputs of funding research.
I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.
Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee
It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.
