David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I think it's extremely grim that their post acknowledges that people *are* writing about their game but like. not BIG outlets. not REAL outlets.

It's also just sick to play a skating game that isn't in the same "go and explore and make your own lines" mode than I feel like most post-Tony skaters are in.

That stuff can be fun! But Skate Story is *doing something* and it's so SO cool.

the thing everyone has been asking of GDC for years is that it should have lego and not like. paid speakers, or better support for developers who would traditionally struggle to access a conference in an expensive city in a hostile country.

Yeah, if there was one thing I was holding onto it was maybe that there'd be some of that Reznor/Ross energy carried over here; but it feels so telling that the soundtrack dropped almost a month ago and I've heard like zero buzz around it.

Instantly regretting the way I could have been at the spearhead of "trans women who are extremely normal about the depersonalised robot lesbians game" if not for completely breaking my head against the inventory limits on release.

VIFF 2025 halfway mark check-in:

Sort of surprised at how middling a lot of what I've seen so far has been - a lot of "neat ideas with imperfect executions". That said, the stuff that hits has HIT.
