Closing the Gap - Chasing Effective Level Design Processes for a New Genre in Rollerdrome
As seen at GDC and Develop:Brighton 2023! If you have seen this at GDC or in the vault, it's the same talk - don't bother, but feel free to leave a cheeky li...

back in caveman days if you didn't see something yourself you couldn't be sure it was real
then photography was invented and you could doctor images but it was hard so you could mostly rely on them
but now AI is a thing it's like ok back to caveman mentality. i don't trust these cave paintings.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Backlash surrounding Metroid Prime 4’s chatty supporting cast has inadvertently bled into one gamer’s relationship.

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

if in casual conversation you say "I saw a tweet the other day" you don't correct yourself to say you saw a "toot" or a "skeet", bc deep down we all intuitively know the tweet is a format

gamers are afraid of bald women
is this why we make games? lol
a review from 2023 with a bunch of upvotes got edited this month, which pushed it back into algorithmic relevance and sadly coincided with a drop in sales.
it's mostly anti-woke ideology unrelated to the game, but when I flagged it as such Steam did not remove it.

So many people are self sabotaging by deskilling via this nonsense right now. Want an edge in 2027? Don’t build reliance on bad tools into your process in 2025.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

FYI: turning off "Smart features" also turns off spell check and the promotions and social tabs. And more.
In effect, a lot of traditional tools in gmail are switched off if you don't let them upload your contracts, love notes, and sad messages to your friends into their plagiarism machine.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

i missed this thread about hippos and all the science as to *why* they are terrifying murder cows the first time it was around
Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle.
2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%.
The average human is around 20-40%, for reference.
They're *all* muscle.

This feature can be disabled by going to Invoicing -> Feedback and toggling 'Collect feedback' off there (on a business account, at least)
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

my favorite Half Life 1 glitch: Because of how the automatic voice-syncing works, the security guards mouth the beeps and boops you get when they punch in codes.
(It happens to the guard at the end of the trolley ride too)
