Proof that bullying people for using AI works and we should bully them as hard as possible.
Being seen as too risky due to social fallout for Disney's investors really is the writing on the wall for AI in creative spaces
I don't like praising Disney but this is a genuinely a good call for reasons the investors probably cannot comprehend

As PAXU panel pitches are due soon, I wanted to share that I'd love to be considered for your panels about GMing, worldbuilding, game design, and/or mentoring/teaching. I have a decade+ experience as a novelist, worked in publishing, and do game design (latest: Additional Designer for Daggerheart).

I will say that this marketing tactic did get me to finally listen to the song in the ad in after seeing it on IG every day for a month and now 4 days later I'm obsessed and have a ticket for the show in October

Does anybody else get nonstop “Operation Mincemeat” ads on Meta products? Seems like a fine musical but Instagram is now 2 friend pics for every 1 video of a woman in a suit singing “SO YOU DREAMT OF BEING A PILOT”

Any chance there's a bunch of people who work in the physical TTRPG AP space who would be interested on being on a panel about TTRPG AP creation (would love to pitch a PAX U panel ft producers, set and sound designers etc from both large and small games)

One thing that doing creative work teaches you is that ideas are worth nothing. Anybody can have an idea. In a writers room you have to come up with a hundred ideas a day, and most of those don’t make the page. It’s the work of making something that gives it value. The patina of humanity.
"AI only offers suggestions based on your prompts. It's still your imagination."
No. Your imagination provides the germ of a story, expands it into sentences, phrases, paragraphs, chapters, culminating in a complete story. Using AI is "I have an idea," then someone else writes a story based on it.

Is it crazy that if someone texts me a crew coffee order before the shoot that the general assumption is that they want me to get the coffee and have it ready before they get there.

I mirror this view, with one caveat: it will -not- necessarily find an audience and it won't necessarily be a success, but if you made it because you want them to exist, at least you have the reward of having pulled these never-made things screaming out of the sea of ideas into reality.
Make games for yourself and for your friends. Make things because they don't exist and you want to see them in the world, because you have an itch you need to scratch. Art made with love and passion and quirkiness will find an audience who appreciates that love and passion and quirkiness.

I first heard about what Saige had said about Omar last month. From a friend at a con in Canada, that had nothing to do with TTRPGs. Thats how widespread this rumor has gone

Saige Ryan, a 🧵
After having done what I can to support Saige’s victims privately for the many months that this awful situation has gone on, and seeing now how it’s so publicly come to a head when those involved deserved only peace, I want to be clear: I believe Surena, Omar, and B Dave

I have a running theory that IMAX is mostly a marketing concept made to make people pay significantly more to see movies. I feel like IMAX is just kind of a scam UNLESS you have a 70mm IMAX theatre in your area

Propaganda I won’t be falling for:

Film Auteurism
Non alcoholic drinks costing the same as alcoholic drinks
People talling me 'Gnarly' is a good song
Morning Sheds
AI Video (or AI anything)
