This game is trying so hard to tell me the sexy fox man definitely wants to kill me, but joke's on them that just makes him hotter
Silent Hill f is teaching me that my fight-or-flight instincts are alarmingly weighted toward Fight

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

In addition to everything else, it's just such a bad idea to use AI for placeholder text because it's juuuust okay enough to be easily missed when you go back and do your edit pass.

Hannah is brilliant and funny and such an amazing cheerleader for other members of the team. Please please please snap her up.
Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.
