So excited to discuss world building with @jesawyer.bsky.social, Lis Moberly and Sam Winkler at PAX AUS.
They told me not to be weird and only ask questions about 16th century Europe and primary sources.
Come 👍

The whole point of digital preservation is capturing the humanness of its context e.g. maker, the experience and its impact. That is what future generations will care about. Once you bring AI into the mix you might as well delete it and spit in my eye.

Phil Salvador @philsalv.bsky.social · 25d

Whatever its merits for other uses, I hope archivists can agree that generative AI is a really bad idea for archival description. If you're trying to explain the context for rare materials, you are never, in a trillion years, going to get that by pointing an algorithm at them

I realise posting this on a Saturday is not ideal, but, hear me out.

We are trying very hard to keep Frosty alive, and even grow it into something more helpful for ANZ based devs, long term 🍦

Silksong is out today - and I am so excited to share my deep-dive into the game's development.
I spoke with Team Cherry about Silksong's design, its origins, and the creative principles that drive their work. I'm thrilled to share it:

Crashing all the storefronts for an indie game is a major flex from Team Cherry 🍒

The Pokemon 2000 event lore keeps getting deeper
Does anyone have this pin and stories on how you got it?

Back during the 2000 Olympics, I wonder how many wildly confused and disappointed children Kraft was able to trick into begging their parents for vegemite, using this Pikachu pin...
