Lmao I have probably written a few choice words about AI in my time XD

Wait I literally never said anything about them or bluesky and I'm blocked. So weird.
Any illustrators out there - preferably with experience of magazine cover art? I have some potential paid work for Film Stories over then next couple of weeks or so. #journorequest
A quick heads up; The UK government is currently holding a consultation on the Online Safety Act. The consultation lasts until the end of next month.
Please fill it out if you live in the UK and/or share it around to get more eyes on it.

I was also able to chat with @blacktabbygames.com about the duo's aspirations for their new publishing arm, and the confusing-but-entirely-plausible-in-a-video-game concept of healing the industry by a thousand cuts. Have a read.
My team has just posted a fairly unique design role: careers.blizzard.com/global/en/jo...
If you meet the qualifications and are interested but have questions, feel free to reach out and I'll answer what I can
I'm looking for TCG Pocket friends to trade with. If that sounds like you feel free to add me :)

You should know better than to post feet for free on the internet.
Rosie it is almost a crime that you have not pokemoned before. You will have a swell time.
Thanks so much for talking to me. Your input was invaluable.
My love letter to the Pokémon franchise and why I think it became the behemoth it is, is out now. Thanks to @jupiterhadley.com @nathanellingsworth.bsky.social @chazingdra.bsky.social @360chrism.bsky.social and the many others who spoke to me.

I so completely agree I put my Gastrodon in a house but like slugs don't want to live in a house so I put a large water basin in there filling to whole thing. They seemed down XD
My focus is on renovating everything breaking all of the broken blocks replacing stuff. Yes it's house and I hate myself
Omg you have to tell me everything. Where are you up to? I'm so overwhelmed with the size
Bless up
I need this full article thanks
A close up of a man eating his bright pink Man Cereal. Next to it is says "Cereal without the B.S. You don't need a breakfast with bright mascots or sugar bombs. We keep things simple with real fuel for real life"
Just found out this is completely sincere with no hint of irony
I started Blue Prince again like a month ago and got so much further into it than the first run, and yet, I didn't even get anywhere close to the the "final" part of the game. If you were on the fence before, this is an absolute must buy. Treat yo'self. So much deeper than you ever think it is.
We've made progress in Diskonia, Porgy, Rock On Island, and Block Koala too. We like to mix it up.
Picture of the games from UFO 50. Eight games are marked off as completed.
With a hectic review period the only game I finished in UFO 50 was Porgy as I blitzed through the others.
With time to relax and my partner we have picked up the Fangamer physical and love placing stickers as we go.
If you feel that use of AI art assets at any stage of the process is an automatic out, but ChatGPT translations are fine if they're "checked" by people, it might be worth asking yourself why that is. Because it sounds a whole lot like valuing the work of translators less than other creatives to me.
Wow, it's a terrible day to care about things
A copy of the book Perfect Organism: The Assembly Cut by Andy Kelly. The illustration on the cover shows a blood trail in a dark sci-fi ventilation system. A device with a glowing green screen lies on the ground.
Three tiny figures spacewalking outside a space station with a gas giant looming in the distance.
Blood splatters on the floor and an ominous shadow.
Someone watches through a vent as a figure brutally smashes the head of another figure into a wall.
Perfect Organism: The Assembly Cut
- The story of Alien: Isolation's creation
- Deep dives into design, art, AI, and more
- Huge level-by-level analysis of the entire game
- Cut content and behind-the-scenes secrets
- New chapters, insights, and illustrations

I am BEGGING websites to stop using machine translation. I see the Kamiya tweet EVERYWHERE with the wrong translation in the headline. It's 10k deaths not a thousand and a tiny bit of knowledge would grab it.

We need to stop normalising it. It normalises AI use, which we've already seen is eroding people's jobs in the industry. It's honestly gross. If this influences just one news writer to stop doing it then I have done my job. Please just don't. Also link people doing the work below. Would be fab!
If it's not okay to have AI write articles then why is it okay to have AI do your translations. Best case hire a JP speaker on staff. Second best use a translation from a human and link. Automaton, Siliconera and if I may say GamesRadar+ all have speakers on staff you can link to.

Scarlet Hollow Episode 5 is finally OUT!
Our vision was to make a game where your choices *actually* matter, instead of just being window dressing.
930,000 branching words later, no two runs should ever feel the same.
If Slay the Princess has no wrong decisions, Scarlet Hollow has no right ones.
