This moral radicalization happened at all levels in the Union army, very much including Ulysses S. Grant.

A lot of Northerners needed to SEE it to become true believers in the cause. But they did. It’s all there if you listen to the lyrics to The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
“I’ll fight until hell freezes over and then I’ll cut the ice and fight on”

Read the northsky tos and guidelines and im begging for yall to hire a pr person or technical writer. It reads like a fanfic writer trying to speak legalese while whatever guidelines that do exist are just vibe based.

The folks at Every Frame A Painting chatted with us about animation production and how to be an artist in a system flooded with genAI. We're not sweating it, we got people to focus on.

#Dispatch devs have no interest in using AI for game development 🎮

"AI feels like a production solution, not a creative one. Maybe it's a creative one if you aren't creative"

"Whatever we're building, it has to connect. It's got to be made by people. It's got to connect to people"

Honestly people need to regain curiosity. A lot of the stuff I see wrongly accused as AI is so easily cleared.

Reverse image search it to find out how old it is. Look up the animal on wikipedia to see if it exists. Track down the portfolio of the artist. Listen to the album.
The worst thing AI has done to culture in just a couple years is not that people think AI generated things are real, but that they now think real things are AI generated

MAGA Evangelicals LOVE trolling but are embarrassed to admit to it, so you get stunts like these. Cruelty pretending to be kindness. They also love using consumerism to try to hurt people's feelings. Like an anti-boycott.

this is what drives me most insane about this! best practices are to mark them, tag them, make them hideous, all to make it quicker and easier to DO YOUR JOB

indulging in the lakeboiler because you think its neat has serious professional consequences!
The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

the game awards are a joke don't take them seriously etc. etc. but anyway i have to assume deltarune isn't nominated for anything solely because it's technically still an unfinished episodic game. because otherwise if that doesn't disqualify it then its complete lack of noms is clinically insane

This is bullshit.

"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.

"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

I think we put too much stock in The Game Awards and the only way they stop mattering so much is *we stop watching or giving a shit about them*.

But much like the new Harry Potter show, people will watch regardless. I wish it were different but it wont be for a bit.
