(they/he)

he/they. I used to work in publishing. I don't anymore, and I don't know what to do with my life lol. I stream mostly retro games over at twitch.tv/ripleydottelevision. I think these bios are awkward.
Just remembered that Elder Scrolls 6 was revealed in 2018 and people still haven't seen footage of it, let alone people even having a vague idea of its release date lmao.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Hot take, but I think if you have an audience, you are responsible for that audience because they're a reflection of you.

If folks are in your spaces harassing other people, especially on your behalf, and you choose to do nothing about it, you're letting everyone know that's acceptable to you.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

This is where we're at now.

Insane shit to price out kids who might wanna collect cards of their favourite players and might grow up to wanna play in the PWHL, btw. I know expensive cards are not really new in the hobby, but these are the ONLY PWHL cards available. It's not like there's a cheaper option. Bonkers shit.
I was very excited to start a PWHL card collection until I learned INDIVIDUAL PACKS ARE GOING FOR $32 CAD. Fucking Christ.
