The modern world is just pro wrestling and a gambling addiction standing on top of a mechanical Turk.

Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

Ok so when Microsoft was making the first Xbox I was doing Flash ads for them and they had an 800 page brand standards binder and when I used a green that was, and I quote, 6% off, I got my ass chewed out. Fucking losers now. Have some goddamn self respect.

The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.

Linked In post from Mike Matsel, Principle Development Lead, XBox Graphics:

"The XBox Graphics team is hiring folks with experience with device drivers, GPU performance, or related validation or engineering system experience. If the positions are closed and you want to apply, please message me!"

And below it is an "AI" slop that reads in white on green "XBOX GRAPHICS IS HIRING" and an image of a woman in a green sweater wearing earpods typing on a computer, except the "AI" has put the screen on the back of the monitor.

Just got @jacobgeller.com's book in and I can't emphasize enough how beautiful this thing is. It even feels incredible.

Cover for "How A Game Lives" with the title in the lower right corner. The cover is yellow, red, and green, showing a post-apocalyptic landscape with plants and trees overgrowing rusting machines - including what looks like the giant head of a robot in the distance. In the middle of the illustration, a small man stands overlooking the horizon.

Open book with a painting of a woman dressed in all white framed by the moon. She appears to be in some sort of palace. The background is an abstract black and red. The words "Every Zelda Is The Darkest Zelda" in the lower right corner.

from a script about Disco Elysium I was working on

moralism
Moralists don’t bother with “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em”; the moralist simply says, “you can’t beat them.” Contend with the horrors of capital with radical acceptance. It is what it is. Capital is what we have to work with; of what pragmatic use is conscience? There are two genocides on offer, one larger, one smaller. Worry not about injustice, worry not about grief, about pain: one or the other is going to happen, which is closer to your goal? Think in terms of sums on a ledger. No right, no wrong, just motion towards or away from… whatever it is you’re trying to do.

It’s a kind of seductive joylessness. A relief from moral crisis by leaving morals out of it. Centrists don’t care what’s good, they care what’s feasible, which means, if you make good things feasible, you can get results working with moralists. The crushing irony of the only movement that can accomplish anything good in this world being the one that does not concern itself with goodness. But to work with moralists, you must speak their language. You will have to make arguments in favor of “small genocide,” you will have to put yourself in conflict with people who oppose “small genocide,” and you will have to accept that there are arguments - made by your compatriots - that the shelling of Revachol, from a certain point of view, was… productive. After all, the Moralists are the ones who did it. The war crime that stabilizes a region is not, to them, a “necessary evil”; if it was necessary, it was no evil at all. Why shed tears for what needed to happen?

rent's due and if you can pay it with these sorts of 2014 critiques, go for it. these articles that only touch on a very black and white understanding of the narrative's presentation rather than the entire game are incomplete. if this is the breadth of your critiques, YA Novels should be your beat

In Death Stranding 2 gender essentialism is load-bearing. Men are one way, women are another way, and these roles are immutable, writes Maddy Myers.

you're essentially designing an asymmetrical wargame that one side is not designed to win (the GM), but must still present the tension of losing and sustain interest from the players
