Working in games means your answer to the question "If you could do anything you wanted in life, what would it be?" isn't a different career, but the same career in a kinder version of the same industry.

Santa Ragione, a venerable, innovative and award-winning studio, may close due to @valvesoftware.com's unaccountable, counter-factual ban. From an early build of HORSES I can easily say it's another award-contender.
Valve can still rectify this poor judgement.

Played Horses at a Day of the Devs and was immediately obsessed. You want to talk about games being artistic endeavors? SAVE HORSES.
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

He is a computer safety researcher.

The thing that strikes me about replacing voice actors with AI slop is that, in the scope of a big AA/AAA production it barely saves money? These people aren't even full time. It's immizerating people because immizerating people is your goal, nothing more.

No one ever questions this shit with superhero movies, which Bond essentially set the template for. Craig was a full back to basics reboot, just do it again.
Also, since we’re doing Bond discourse, Riz Ahmed would be a great Bond.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.
