I'm angry at the government and my tummy hurts
I have a lot of respect and love for Larian, and I'm devastated to hear AI use in their production pipeline. But more than that I'm just disappointed in Swen. He should know better. He has shown in the past he *does* know better.

Here's someone he should listen to. Himself, two years ago.

Luke very validly has quotes muted - but I wanted to also add that if you look to other posts by this company they seem to have a fundamental (and seemingly willfull) misunderstanding of AI.

"so when he demolishes the White House, that links to our main thematic throughline"
"I think that might be a bit on the nose"

Received my copy of @lostincult.co.uk 's design works for @mrsambarlow.bsky.social 's Immortality — I was not prepared for the HEFT of this tome. Excited to dive in

Seeing red reading about the 'moral questions' of shutting down a rainforest burning game of The Sims

Years ago I'd really fallen off playing anything that wasn't an occasional multiplayer shooter. Control reignited my love for single player story games, and since I've become a massive remedyverse fan. Thought this was long overdue.

Pathfinder party headed out into the desert to start something western themed—so you gotta do a moving train battle.

Okay maybe I'm crazy but there's an enemy in Eternal Strands that has a big pair of sword scissors and I need to know if someone at @yellowbrickgames.bsky.social was inspired by Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency S2 (specific I know) but I'm not crazy I swear

Apparently this layout is best and if I had to learn to use it I think my brain would explode

I can't explain how angry pushing AI nonsense into functional products and forcing me to engage with them makes me.

Haven't got all the details about Luigi's politics yet, but it doesn't matter. The whole fucking world rallied around this man who committed a literal murder because we recognised the material pain of wealth inequality and capitalist greed above all.

Graph unrelated.

Night Springs from Alan Wake 2 unironically slaps and most of your Normie friends won't notice if you sneak it into their party playlists @remedygames.com

Some other bands here also good.

Shocked it didn't include some Old Gods or Poe, but Night Springs does slap

Looking for any work rn often feels like this.

If they interviewed 25 people for this job that would be only 3% of applications.

Locking in at the Welcome to Thornbury Halloween market and finding the one piece of Alan Wake merch available because I'm built different (better)

Been introduced to Obsidian Notes and it's immediately had a profound impact on the way I'm organising my thoughts for writing branching narratives. Current Pathfinder adventure (with all names redacted) has turned into a beautiful murder board of possibilities.
