DANNIE Shortlisted Writer. Designer. Art Cunt.
Worked on Lichoma. Ninja Borg. Vast Grimm. Many other things. Curiosity Project sometimes.
I just want to write my little playing card spreadsheets and design my little countryside maps and name my little gnomes in the walls without the idea that’d I’d be out of a job in 6 months.
But…
How you interact with it stops being my business at our role as internet mutuals.

But like, I have lost work because a business offloaded my contract to AI. It was fed my concepts to make ideas.

That sucks, and I like it when people don’t support that.

Like I said, I appreciate your magnanimity to the people involved, and I am sure I would do the same, but this is the internt

Even “have to” is weirdly strong.

I think stopping it is the ethical thing to do, and I am glad you did that.

Aside from that, not using it in your work is a strong enough statement that you are not obligated to be a lobbyist. The world is quite hard sometimes. We all need peace.

Hey, you stopped it going public, that’s all you have to do.

I don’t *want* people to be vociferous haters, or to think about this as often as I do - I just see it often in TTRPGs and copywriting so I take a strong stance.

Each of us only has one monkey with two hands in the circus.

If there isn’t a Lamb/ert joke in this I am going to riot

Patrick Mills is being magnanimous and conciliatory to these people, I respect that, but I do not care because I am a hater. Don’t hawk computer generated wank at me and expect me to thank you.

Wow that is some old school bigotry right there.

I bet he feels like he did something huh. Most irish people will do nothing but laugh at that.

Did you have any parts of the game you really wanted to see more of it but didn’t end up getting?

Surely not fitting in with established genre conventions

(which to be clear, if 2077 isn’t cyberpunk I have no genuine clue what counts - fucking judge dredd? Blade Runner?)

Is pretty punk in itself.

Copying Neuromancer isn’t going to win you points with nerds online, you gotta riff!

Box for buddy, Box for Star by this is Lorelei

It’s like the credits music of the saddest moments of your life with the promise of better composed by an indie rocker using a child’s musical toy.

Useful distinction right?

If it’s rare and largely unknown, it’s nitch

If it’s specific and important, it’s neesh!

Something is nitch, something fills a neesh!

And to see their flaws; to see the ignorance some people have and to love them regardless is ferociously difficult and unbelievably brave.
@barilleon.com I see you, and I understand.
