Nothing grates me more than when AI game dudes are like "Don't you wish you could ask an NPC aNyThInG?" Absolutely fucking not. If you don't understand that every piece of writing is made with intention, character, and meaningful choice... you probaby shouldn't be directing a fucking video game.

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it
A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230.
No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech.
We can't let this happen. Share & take action

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

It’s not a boring, tedious, low skill, or time wasting part of the creative process that needs to be streamlined! Concept artists are professionals and don’t need to be replaced, much less by generative ai slop!

I don't know, man. I'm broadly out of touch with considering the "fanbase" of anything when evaluating a work anymore. I'm sure you can find a collective of fans for anything who are annoying or awful, but they're not in the room with me and I'm not going to go looking for them.

The thing that's never sat with me re:criticism about Expedition 33 being "baby's first JRPG" is that the people who actually made the game couldn't be more consistently reverent about their influences.
Accepting the 'Game of the Year' award for Clair Obscur Expedition 33, director Guillaume Broche thanks Final Fantasy series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi who "made me fall in love with games and inspired me to become a game dev."

It gets exhausting watching people race to find the worst takes from the most hateful people about things they ostensibly like. I want to see your genuine feelings about something, don't hide your excitement or disappointment behind screenshots of the most obnoxious bigot you could find crashing out

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad
They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them
