also using this as my soapbox to say— stop calling your rougher/cartoonier/etc art "drawn badly." you made it! you're the only one who CAN make it. who MUST make it, even. if you've been intent behind it, its good. lacking detail doesn't make it bad! be human, be messy!

Takumi Miyajima, the woman who wrote tales of symphonia, she had several characters keep their placeholder names because she doesn't like naming characters.
One of them, Yuan, appears to have been named that because his VA was voicing Ewan McGregor in the jp dub of the prequal star wars movies.

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

now that all the games press is gone, we only have the loudest gamers to rely on when trying to get a vibe of whether a game is good, which is extremely worse than nothing
all you hear about any game that comes out now is "it's shit" or "it's fucked" regardless of how shit or fucked it is

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Sadly, all the Learn Blender people were right. You couldn't pay me to go back to Maya or 3Ds Max. And I couldn't pay me either, because their license costs are insane

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now
