Every year around Thanksgiving, I see tons of grad students post heartbreaking messages on social media about how their loved ones don’t understand or support their decision to study what seems like something pointless or silly.

Perhaps my American Scientist essay can help!

“Why Are We Funding This?”
Long-standing myths about “silly science” have contributed to the reckless slashing of government-supported research.

It also misses a HUGE opportunity for dev whimsy.

I remember working on Magic: Duels and badly photoshopping tropical print shirts onto placeholder planeswalkers key art while waiting for the full-res files to come in. Because, y'know, we wanted it to be VERY OBVIOUS it wasn't final
Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

The Kem Kem was home to a few terrestrial crocodylomorphs, and the 2m-long predator Hamadasuchus is one of the more intimidating ones!

Since getting laid off I've gotten serious about making my "farming sim". You play as the ranger of a derelict state park, pulling weeds, building trails, and picking up trash. And other stuff ofc, but as of today, you can do all 3 of those things!
