Narrative design is seen as "expendable" because it's not "top-level game design", says BAFTA Breakthrough participant Cara Ellison. But narrative is "the thing that actually keeps people picking the controller back up."

Someone defending their ability to love Harry Potter without supporting JK Rowling saying “if Toriyama was on the Epstein list, people could still love Dragon Ball”

1) that’s a hell of a hypothetical to suggest

2) based on how people reacted to Neil Gaiman this last year, I don’t know if I agree.

ANATOMY is a game about a house that’s alive, alone, and hurting. A house that slowly tears itself apart.

I made a video about its beauty, its horror, and the quiet sadness hiding behind its tapes:

Facts. If you have living parents or grandparents, you need to talk to them about AI. Establish a code question you can use to verify they're talking to you and tell them to use it if they have any doubt. We have to protect them.
The damage these scams can do on old people with the AI pretending to be someone they know is horrible. Things are going to get bad.

Relating to yesterday’s thread… D.W. Griffith took out a full page ad crediting himself for inventing editing, closeups, and subtle film acting. (Needless to say, all lies)

Times change but egotistical charlatans remain the same

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI'
Remember that.
Remember her.

What a remarkable human, and what a remarkable thing to know that she passed bemused at reading her own eulogies.

Rest in peace, Rebecca. Thank you for everything.
I never thought I’d get this wish. Odd seeing eulogies before I expire
