Today I turn 34, so that means it's time for Reflections.
It's been...a weird one. Rough, in many ways, but also really good in others. Let's have a ponder.

So I dunno if any of you folks have seen the "2wai" shit, but it's a start-up which makes a 3 minute scan of someone, and then purports to offer an avatar of them which can talk to you and "support you" long after the actual person has died.
And, like... _fuck me_ is that a wild thing.

People like to talk about "overpopulation" by using racist parallels to "over-breeding." But the real cause of rising population is actually _over-surving_. And only a fucking ghoul would call that a "crisis."
So maybe re-think fears of "overpopulation," yeah?

Periodically there’s a thing that goes around: “What would you have died of in the Middle Ages?!”
Each time, I think “What would you have died of in 1940, before available vaccines & antibiotics!?!?”
It’s so easy to forget WHY so many people live to adulthood & survive infections that can kill.

We have forgotten what it's like to hold a child paralyzed with polio or comfort a mom who has lost her child from measles. It wasn’t that many generations ago. And I don‘t want to see us go backward. They protect our children. They are our best defense against these terrible illnesses.

At BEST, "AI" replaces spell checkers. But explicitly _not_ editors, which is made most obvious by the sheer number of job listings calling for "writers" to "clean up prompts" for "AI" firms...
I.e. it's all a fucking rort, and the media is working downtime for tech bro stakeholders.

I’m gonna disagree with this one.
What we’re calling “AI” doesn’t replace cognition. It replaces pattern matching, but on its own has no idea which patterns are important or why.
We are nowhere close to an actual thinking machine.

The plow, the steam engine, electricity — all replaced muscle. AI replaces cognition. If you spend your day “reading lots of stuff and turning it into straight English,” well… so does the machine. The goal now is to learn from history and cushion the blow better than last time.

When you're writing a tabletop roleplaying game, the mechanics should evoke the atmosphere you want in your story.
A simple example: we're writing a cozy woodland mystery game. What are the combat mechanics like? Well, clearly there aren't any. Combat isn't part of our cozy woodland story.

Which, as a gauge for those who haven't had kidney stones before (and not that I put _terribly_ much stock in such comparative scales, as pain is extremely subjective and individual), here is a "guide" to what the pain is like:

Little life update on this:
I ended up getting discharged on the Sunday due to not being able to find a slot for the surgery. After a lot of fucking around, I'm not going to be getting it until the _25th_ (so... 21 days after pain began). So I'm just gonna be _real bad_ for a while yet D:

Reshare: Thomas shares how despite never enjoying a Belonging outside Belonging game before, Harvest became his Game of the Year. It's a combination of its lush prose, rock-solid structure, and bloody folk horror.

Stop quoting stuff CEOs say about game development. They don't know shit. Even game devs only know about their own tiny slice of gamedev, so the suits definitely have no idea. You don't have to listen to them or debunk them, sometimes you can just be like "that's idiotic" and live on.

Sure, every* game company** is using AI... but using it well? Is it actually helping with ANYthing? Or is it driven by a need to have AI deliver early on the promise of substituting for human labour because there's no other problem it solves?

Translation, its important to assume every game by Nexon is using AI. And not buy them. And play something by an indie dev who gives a shit about what they make.

I'm not sure why, but the cliche "Bent the knee" has started to really grate on me. It just sounds so lazy in a non-A Song of Sice & Fire / Game of Thrones context. I'm a little more forgiving if it's used in wider Fantasy, but even then it's a little tired...
