I just realized I never really made a proper intro for myself over here, so here it goes!

Hello! I'm Robin! I wear a lot of hats, but I primarily work in video games, but sometimes work in comics, merch production, and I love spooky cute art! I'm currently working on a big unannounced project!

This affects you - the audience - more than you think.

Because there are no residual payments on videogames, many actors rely on convention appearances as a replacement income.

Because cons = $, cons have begun expecting talent to make it through YOU (no appearance fee).

You’ve been tip-cultured.
Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on.

They will tell you no. They might even laugh.

Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.
Also, re: "they get royalties", how much money is that? Does it make up for the lack of continued work?

Paying next to nothing is still "getting paid royalties" but is functionally nothing.

I cannot emphasize enough how much none of our team needs to or wants to use gen AI and it has no place in our development process lmfao

Busting your ass off on things that will be out One Day TM, but before that day all you really have to show for it is crawling out of your office like a Creature TM under a cloak of blankets while giggling to yourself to grab more coffee and scuttle back while your roommates watch on in horror.

Video game leaders telling people they’ll get left behind if they don’t embrace AI aren’t people worth listening to or respecting. They aren’t interested in quality _and_ if they lead a successful studio, they’ve fully misunderstood why their studio was successful in the first place.

I tell younger folks all the time: Do not worry about losing the respect or presence of people who can't or won't accept you doing things that bring you joy. The only relationship you are guaranteed will last until you die is the one you have with yourself. Don't let yourself down.
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:

One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing

And then you'll say. Wait a second.

Fuck 'em

I miss going to metal concerts. Been a hot second since I've been at one and in a mosh pit, but I'm finally at an age where I'm like "are my bones gonna start getting angry at me if I dive back in?"

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

I saw a random reddit comment where someone theorized that Pennywise and Mary Poppins were the same species of primordial psychic entity, but Pennywise feeds on fear while Poppins feeds on joy. both of them eat kid emotions because fear and joy are more intense in kids. This is Canon for me now.

Do you think that the Mr. Beast theme park is just Dave Land from Smiling Friends, but with Jimmy instead?
