I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.
This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

There are too many execs who do not respect players and think they will pay for any old slop that's put in front of them.
Vote with your wallet.

Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Nothing is more hilarious to me than people watermarking their GenAI images. Really? Worried someone is going to steal it and pass it off as theirs? Angry if someone else gets the sale/credit for the 5 words you typed into an energy sucking, art stealing, environment killing program? Poor baby.

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany.
But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Food for thought. External QA, animators, voice actors, and musicians deserve to be part of the narrative of game makers.
No, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 wasn't "made" by 30 people
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's credits are a lot bigger than "30 developers".

genAI NPCS are shit for many reasons but also:
NPCs with one or two lines of dialog clearly communicate to the player that this character cannot help you progress.
We don't just choose not to include thousands of lines for NPCs because we're lazy or lack resources. It's bad design.
