I've said it before and I'll say it again: One of the biggest reasons the right wing couldn't make Charlie Kirk stick as their Reichstag fire is that none of them, including his own widow, actually and sincerely gave a fuck he died

I've said this before, but it makes me insane that in an age of human civilization when the ultra-rich have hoarded over half of all wealth, the go-to visual shorthand for depictions of gluttony is still "fat"

This is the story of Otso, the High Gardener of the Solarian Church, an ecstatic time-prophet who struggled to maintain peace, protect his family, and reconcile what mercy means while Prospero's Dream spun out of control.
Last year, @samsorensen.bsky.social developed Over/Under, a @mothership.bsky.social-inspired megagame. When he asked @lincodega.com to be one of the bosses, they had no idea what they were getting into.
But they knew that they needed to write it down.

Giant fucking rube. Sell this man a bridge.
I think whether that "excuse" works or not genuinely depends on the trajectory of the technology and its abilities. As many people have pointed out in this thread we have lots of evidence so far it's not very good and firms haven't seen big returns. I just am not no sure it will stay that way.

This is the problem I have with publishers right now. Every one I've spoken with lately has basically gone "your game needs to be finished and you need to be a guaranteed success before it even gets to us."
They want you to spend millions, and they want 40-50% minimum to barely market your game.

"we shouldn't have to work for free on a game until it's nearly-done enough to get funding" and "it's the only thing you can really do so you should do it if you want to make games" are both true imo and it's shit but what else is there really to do that isn't just give up

The last AI discourse was AI boosters claiming not using AI was classist and ableist, artists were the ones with the power and privilege, historical disabled artists weren’t “actually“ disabled, and so forth
I agree, it’s impossible to have a reasonable discussion about AI because AI boosters are 🥜

Once again: people are angry for very good reason, and this brand of post is perhaps one of the most tedious and bewildering. Practically every social media platform is rabidly pro-‘AI’ so are govts, academia, companies. This one small space being critical of AI is okay, I think.

In Dracula Untold (2014), the movie's post-credits scene jumps to modern day, and Charles Dance sits watching Dracula in public and says, "Let the games begin."
The games never began, nobody wanted the games, and no one really even liked the preamble to the games that they just witnessed.
