Before ChatGPT I’m pretty sure they’d pay an assistant to read it and give them a summary of key points. Same impulse that drove Elon to pay someone to play Diablo for him and then claim he was a top player

Sometimes they talk about “reading” and give up the game saying stuff like “oh I speedread several Books a day” or “I read the last chapter of a book to get the point without wasting too much time” or “I ask ChatGPT to summarize It so I can skip the filler”

“Weird racist guys LOVE her! Let’s get this niche indie film on every screen possible!”

Apparently that audience isn’t all that lucrative, going by her box office returns

The interviewer wasn’t even hostile, she’s just kind of a moron

Like if you go to a protest in 2025, it’s a looooot different than 2016. The tote bag lib vibe is gone. So many people in urban/suburban areas witnessing ICE raids probably has something to do with that. Socialism is not a dirty word at all anymore even among “normie” libs

It’s a common joke lately but also kinda true that the wine mom caucus has actually caught on to this and started going hard for the left lol. Where the rest of you at

Knowing MS though it’ll be some slop studio with no permanent employees that is mandated to use gen AI lol. But at least it might light a fire under their asses at BGS

And people say good things about ESO too. Almost like their games do just fine as long as you have a competent studio working on them. Let someone else get a crack at a mainline game!

FFS they have a hit TV series and currently no chance of a new game to benefit from that momentum

It’s Skyrim specifically that seems to have given him so much clout that he’s wrecking the studio while also barring other studios from working on their games. Which is probably a great case for at least Fallour being palmed off to someone else again

If MS is going to stay in the games business they need to start farming out BGS IPs. Which Zenimax already did back when Todd could actually get games out the door relatively quickly!
