That's not a conspiracy theory. That's just business.

You notice all the directors/etc saying they're fine with AI are saying exactly the same things about it? Sometimes word for word.

Yeah. Those are talking points.

Much like Kentucky Route Zero, your dialogue choices in Mario Galaxy 2 don't affect the path of the story but they change your understanding of the character

"You could just use a different system." I don't want to do that. I want me and my friends to commit game design crimes.

Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions.

These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water.

AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price.

This afternoon I'll be streaming with my evolving thoughts about designing an adventure for use with Daggerheart, including a preview of a Witherwild module I am working on to be published down the road.

Twitch.tv/turbotango at 1pm EDT, on YouTube tomorrow morning.

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

Gavin Newsom's dad was best friends with the nazis. Every time he does something that is SO WEIRD for a west coast liberal, I need you to remember that he was raised by a nazi.

Yeah, I know fascism writ large is happening...but I'm still trying to at least have something that feels like home with my partner. I do c0mmissions, etc.

I’m really trying to break myself out of the habit of thinking I’m a bother/nuisance when I promote. And I’ll lie to myself for as long as it takes for me TO believe it.

The US consumer is completely drained, and what did they do with all that cash they extracted from us? Lit it on fire to make a machine so advanced its the first ever computer that can't do math and spent the remaining scraps buying the media and presidency so people couldnt be mean about them

(It is a good analogy if you're trying to have the conversation politely in an office space, to be fair.)

This is a perfect analogy if your meeting often result in the loss of real income for people as your bosses get greedy about not being in meetings, many of your meetings are really just scams and rug pulls, and every one of your meetings is a huge drain on your local power grid and environment.

So, here’s the thing about meetings at work.

They can be tremendously valuable.

They frequently are not.

People who are bad at meeting frequently push for more meetings because the waste goes untracked and it looks like work.

GenAI follows similar patterns, except we’re better at meetings.
