“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “ and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

I hope every artist with imposter syndrome sees people who defend genAI and know that even if they draw the most shaky stick figures, they are 10000x more of an artist than anyone that feeds the ecological destruction theft machine and claims to be a creator.

tl;dr: GenAI and game design concepts traditionally referred to as "AI" (enemy behaviors, pathfinding, etc.) are not the same thing, and I'm on my knees begging people to learn the difference, lest we see more bullshit claims like what The Escapist put out re: Blue Prince.
Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...
The debate over gen AI in games is about to get a lot messier in 2026

Dont support the Starvation Army
Now that we've hit December, friendly reminder that the Salvation Army is a bigoted, religiously motivated hate organization that covers up sexual abuse and throws queer people out of their shelters to die in the cold. Please send any seasonal donations to literally any other group.

Ok! Let's start with explaining some background to set up the Navratri festival, which traces the stages of a woman's life through the life story of the Goddess Parvati, consort of Shiva and mother of the universe. Today is the 1st day in honor of Ma Shailaputri, which means daughter of the mountain
