there were a couple weeks where i tried Perplexity to see if AI search engines were any good.
They aren't.
If you disagree let me make something clear: I am better at searching than you.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Sadly, media is often fixating on RFK’s HRT as problematic (HRT-as-drugs-are-bad paradigm), rather than the hypocrisy of him using it while being against it for trans people.
Fundamentally, while media is a tool of conservatism, its help is likely to hurt people.

Our motherfucking media is useless. How do you NOT mention this when he's arguing against trans health care?
And how do you print this fact here without immediately calling attention to his opposition to hormones for trans ppl?

This is really classy — I hit that there’s more work to help people understand the craft involved in their games.
We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.

![[Scene is a MEDIEVAL PLAGUE PIT with all the bodies inside it. On the edge of it is a young peasant woman, in a sack cloth dress, covered in boils. She is lounging glamorously next to the pit. Her boyfriend is standing a few feet away, photographing her with an anachronistic mobile phone]
GIRL:
OK so I'll sit here...
With my hair like this…
Rubbing my cyst with the corpse's hand.
[She produces a whithered severed hand and starts rubbing it on her face.]
[We are treated to a revolting close up of her rubbing the severed hand on her disgusting massive cyst.]
[Her boyfriend takes a photo of her.]

GIRL:
OK, now write this:
"Hanging out at the burial pit, rubbing my sebaceous cyst with a severed corpse hand from
#BurtsGraverobbers…”
And then: #selfcare, #metime, #BurtsGraverobbers…
... nails emoji, heart emoji, cyst emoji.
BOYFRIEND:
Um...
Should we really be promoting this?
I mean… does rubbing a corpse's hand on a cyst actually work?
GIRL:
Look, Burt's done research, OK?
And he's paying us four groats.
BOYFRIEND:
Hmm.

one reason I don’t think teachers can be replaced by AI videos & quizzes is so much of teaching is inherently social
sometimes you’ll say something to a student one-on-one & it’ll literally be the exact thing you told the class, the exact words, but it doesn’t click until you say it to them alone

my logic on this is as follows: they became fans of your game when you didn't listen to them; why would they remain fans if you changed (by listening to them?)
Go a step further: Do not read the opinions of your community. It's creative poison.
Often as game designers we love to make people happy. But if you index too much on making the community, or people in the community, happy, then you're ceding too much of your judgment to them.

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.
