I am glad you mentioned these, I forgot to join for the emotes on the first round. These are awesome.

I miss it

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/...

Speaking as someone who has had to make the rough decisions regarding running a business before, my hot take is that one of the worst parts of the Epic layoffs is that they did them after GDC & Dice. All those people could have been chasing jobs or new studio funding if the layoffs had been sooner.

Layoffs are not just “how the industry is going”

They happen because pieces of shit who care only about themselves are put in positions of power

Pieces of shit who have ruined this industry

Never forget what these people have done. This industry is devastated, and their bank accounts are bulging

A screenshot of a slack message showing a JSON file of achievements where the Achievement ID number (Starting with 0 and incrementing) does not match the internal unlock ID number. Achievement 0 is paired with ID 1, Achievement 1 is paired with ID 11 and so on. It is cruel.

Are you?

This is the reason behind the Trump
administration’s intense desire to ban Talarico content.

If they lose the evangelicals, they lose all their power.

I really appreciate that there a bunch of folks in the area media who aren't as over reactionary about all of this.

Brutal Game, yes. Rough few starts against the leagues best. Yes.

Was also good to see players/ex-players defending and supporting him through this.

NGS didn’t have a single go for it recommendation on any of the Seahawks’ field goals. Models aren’t always saying go for it!

Disappointing end of the season, but the Patriots had a heck of a season, so much better than I could have reasonably expected.

The off-season will be interesting to see how they retool and rework

Congratulations to Seattle, heck of a team and the defense was as advertised.

What was one surprise from the interviews over this past week at the Super Bowl?

Ubisoft clearly concerned about the important parts of game development: following the Bobby Kotick Principle of keeping your employees terrified

Just so brutal

Dug out, got lots of snow. Luckily light and fluffy.

I've written several AAA lore bibles, including one for an effin' MMO, long before llms even existed. If I can do it, there's no excuse for you

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut.

No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly.
I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

You don’t understand, we gotta burn out senior experienced devs, so we can keep having the same 5 discourses on a loop. There is a very real risk that if we treat people with respect and manage them well that we might have to stop re-debating basic terminology and practices.

Crunch is bad. Crunch ruins lives. Crunch kills. Don't ask for it. Don't do it. It's bad.

I can't believe I still have to say this after all these years.
