some quick colourways I did for fun taking a break from actual detailing/refining. It's a weird one cause I want to hit at some hard surface functionality while still making it feels like an abstract/grown thing

The thing about all the big shooters right now being compromised by AI workflows and coming out of BDS-targeted publishers is that STRAFTAT is free and just received a major update adding 50+ new maps.

this is so cart-before-horse to me. i don't accept that people's attention spans are shorter in a way that has to matter. the problem is that we keep thinking that and "complying in advance" with the imagined boogieman of "people not paying attention nowadays". nothing done in that direction helps
You wanna know why we're having nag line discourse in 2025? Because developers know we're fighting an attention economy war we'll lose no matter what. Players don't read, have TikTok open next to them, god forbid we are scared you miss something and then blame us for not giving you all the info.

There is something so wild about this assumed understanding that you *have* to spoonfeed mechanics and narrative to meet a broader audience (something anyone who has ever expo'd a game would probably agree with!) when faced with the way the biggest games in the world all extremely Do Not Do This.
I'll be honest: dunno that I'm willing to buy a "we HAVE to force tutorialization down players' throats" argument in a period where games like counterstrike, dota, minecraft, roblox et al are some of the most popular games in the world

re prime 4 discourse, todasy is as good a time as any to say:
video games talk AT you way too much in the 2020s!
i'm not talking abt too much narrative (not a real issue). i'm talking abt a constant, patronizing use of narration to /predigest/ everything from challenge to mood to emotional impact!

I wonder if Rockstar leadership envisaged this kind of response when they decided to fire 30+ workers in a union?
Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.
