I once got lost hiking up a mountain until I saw a Shepard I asked him "how far up are we?" and he answered "Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the first Sin" That's how i realized, I already knew the answer. We were at the peak

Art labeled 'Hazard', showing a part of adventurers descending into a dungeon. One of the walls is broken open, with a dropped sword in front of it an d tentacles reaching around

Art labeled Defense, showing a party evading a dragon's beam-like breath attack

Sorcery, showing a magical party member calling lightning down upon a large foe

Border, showing an armored human warrior precariously balanced fighting a buglike warrior atop a wall, as sluice gates empty water behind them

The Falcom Bible: Making of Sorcerian book has some more incredible art. Screencaps of the game accompanying the art is also so fun here

A photo of Steve Purcell's wedding cake, featuring Sam and Max, the cartoon murderous furry detectives, standing in as the bride and groom

Learning that Steve Purcell himself gave the big ole ok to shippers and confirmed Sam and Max are a canonically gay married couple feels like I learned a universal cartoon truth of the world

A text image of a small part of the transcript of a conversation between Ari Shapiro and David Simon (Creater of 'The Wire') on a segment on NPR during the wirter's strike of 2023: Shapiro: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without AI, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had that tool to solve those thorny problems... Simon: What? Shapiro: ...Or saying... Simon: You imagine that? Shapiro: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. Simon: I don't think AI can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. Shapiro: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into AI and say, give. me 10 ideas for how to transition this. Simon: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

And if you think this is just some BS meme image, you can listen to the man himself: www.npr.org/transcripts/...

subway ad that says "your idea could be live by the time you reach your stop"

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

I was in multiple rooms at GDC where management of games studios let their hair down and said "everyone's using it, gamers hate it so we just have to hide it now", but none were actually able to explain if and how AI were making games faster to develop or better at all

Hell yeah video games

i’ve played just enough of funi raccoon game to realize that it is, imho, a jumping flash-like

this is one of the highest forms of praise i can imagine

I too am lapsed on random game Saturday, so here's Kuma Uta, a game in which you string together original Enka songs for a polar bear to sing. Naturally it had online connectivity, so you could send songs to other Ps2 users, to your PC if you downloaded an app, or compatible phones as ringtones!

it really is a miracle—just unbelievable that it’s even better than season one, which set the bar pretty dang high!

i failed 😭
