In Osaka 2009, my friend and I got super lost looking for the aquarium (pre-smart phone) and this old man saw us and we just were like “Kaiyukan??” But bc he didn’t speak English and we didn’t speak Japanese, he couldn’t give us directions so he took time out of his day & walked us all the way there

When's a time that a stranger helped you in an unexpected, maybe even small way?

If you feel like your designs look generic, there are many ways to add some uniqueness to them. Give them funky eyebrows, specific shaped ears, change the way you draw their nose. Those little things add a lot of character.
There are many different shapes that make us, play around with them.

Oh wow, a CEO who sees their employees as disposable. Churn 'em and burn 'em, he says.
I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly.
I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

You’re going to be okay. Someone will hate your book. You’re going to be okay. Someone will not get what you’re trying to do with your art and judge you. You’re going to be okay. You’re going to keep creating, in 2026, because you need it and because the world needs you to. Okay?
