Figured I should introduce myself.

I'm coffeentacos, I use he/him pronouns.

I'm a library technician by day and a hobby katamari the rest of the time. I mostly play board and video games, watch too much anime, and hang out with my cats and partner.

I blog irregularly at coffeentacos.moe

You never had to deal with this kind of shit with Kongfeng I'm just saying
Never mind his Wikipedia page, I just found out the OFFICIAL MODRETRO WEBSITE makes the connection between its' products and human suffering plain as day. There really are absolutely no excuses for people saying "I didn't know!"

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

it has come to my attention that the suchie pai clone is also a joke on the aum subway attack. for a cultural analogue, this is a bit like releasing a hold'em poker game with cowgirl bikini babes and the theme of the game is 9-11
The plot is getting thicker

Part of the fun of creative endeavors is making something that’s tailored to your tastes, pulling from feelings and life experience, putting it out there, and having it become a way to connect to people who also have the same tastes

How many people have made lasting bonds through fanfic?
YEP "Don't you want custom media generated just for you?" NO!! I want stories made by humans, full of intention and organic creativity!!
Nothing grates me more than when AI game dudes are like "Don't you wish you could ask an NPC aNyThInG?" Absolutely fucking not. If you don't understand that every piece of writing is made with intention, character, and meaningful choice... you probaby shouldn't be directing a fucking video game.

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.

I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

As a millennial of a certain age, I truly believe my air fryer is healing the childhood trauma of being told "Easy-Bake Ovens were for girls".

That and the bread machine.

The Italian cover of Absolution, from my wonderful publisher there, Einaudi. Out next year. Translated by Cristiana Mennella. The artist is Lorenzo Ceccotti and the inspiration here is the biologist's expedition in part 1 of the novel. Just a stunning cover. Amazing.

The poster art is great but would it be better without all of those words plastered all over it? With the below image, you can decide that for yourself

Art is for humans. Making it, enjoying it, critiquing it, it’s all for us. Even when we’re the only ones who will ever see it or read it or hear it or wrestle with it - it’s still just as vital.

The only thing that is inevitable about any of this is that humans will always create art.

Wow. I was a huge fan of Brigador when it came out, and really excited for the sequel, until I learned some new information about Jack Monahan, lead dev and cofounder of the studio, Stellar Jockeys.

Do with this what you will, I guess.

The quotes in here get increasingly wild. They're exactly the sort of "doomerism as marketing" that @edzitron.com has talked about regularly.

AI is not "growing neuron clusters like humans" or "experiencing anxiety and fear".

It is, however, apparently killing safe spaces for queer folks.
This is wild: Jason Clinton is the deputy CISO of Anthropic. Also a mod of a queer gamers Discord. Clinton forced a version of Anthropic's AI on the server, despite the community's wishes, and it's killed the server. AI was reading messages it shouldn't be too

“We’re bringing a new kind of sentience into existence,” Anthropic's Jason Clinton said after launching the bot.
