You decide to take a gamble at what could be a good day.

Times have been so strange I feel self-conscious to speak more of my games, which I affectionately call "anxiety machines".
But although it's can be stressful, Metronomes can be hopeful too.

Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.
I know this because they tried to recruit me and I strongly considered it but they’re also a “do an unpaid writing test where you have to also make it playable” company so that’s not something I vibe with

I keep talking to people who are very anti AI who admit they're fine with it being used ' to brainstorm/ generate ideas', I have to explain very clearly why that's just a terrible idea as generating assets.
People genuinely don't know what concept art is/what concept artists do!

it's all bad but it's disgusting to imply that using genAI for concept art is comparable to placeholder text

I deactivated this acc a mont ago because the "serious studios don't use genAI" discourse felt navel-gazing and myopic in relation to the scope of the threat of genAI in games, like a chest-beating call and response to refuse looking at it. I was called names and shut down.

It's interesting that the person I quoted *immediately* blocked me so just in case -- hi, I'm Mar, I'm a decolonial games scholar and dev from the global south, I hate genAI and I also work in rhetorics aka how discourse is delivered and perceived.
All discourse I read today is about North Am./West. EU game studios not using genAI.
Early this year I was told by reliable sources that most Asian studios use it. If that's true, then once again the bulk of devs is willingly ignoring the power shift in the industry, and becoming vulnerable to it.

I don't even remember who hated me 20 years ago. I had a pretty swell high school experience, tbf. If we're flexible, there was one person in uni though.
She'd probably say I was stuck-up and thought I was better than others but she spread slutshaming rumors about me so

Today is the Day of the Dead. Remember that, in Brazil, it's not uncommon (especially in the queer community) to refer to exes as "the deceased". Take a moment to celebrate their "death" today. You're welcome.
