this is true but also applies to a lesser-but-still-massive extent to many roles, almost all roles imo.. in the same way that "if there is no producer, someone(s) else is doing the work of production", people can reach outside their role to affect change positive or disastrous
There are a lot of roles in game dev where someone bad in a role can do damage, but a bad producer can be so unbelievably damaging that it truly would be better to have no one in the role at all.
Just as good producers are force multipliers, bad producers are like throwing sand into a gearbox.

A good producer is absolutely an incredible force multiplier and allows the folks who are creating the actual artifacts to be more effective.
A producer beholden to methodology or who does not understand the needs of the game they're working, however, can do irreparable damage very easily.

sometimes someone in my discord is is so self-hating, stating as fact such nasty shit, that they become hostile to any kindness at all. "i'm shit and if you say I'm not you're lying to me" type shit. you have to change your outlook before your helplessness becomes real in a way you don't expect

this is so cart-before-horse to me. i don't accept that people's attention spans are shorter in a way that has to matter. the problem is that we keep thinking that and "complying in advance" with the imagined boogieman of "people not paying attention nowadays". nothing done in that direction helps
You wanna know why we're having nag line discourse in 2025? Because developers know we're fighting an attention economy war we'll lose no matter what. Players don't read, have TikTok open next to them, god forbid we are scared you miss something and then blame us for not giving you all the info.

I didn‘t enjoy Stranger Things as much as to be a big fan, but I am getting a little bit annoyed by how far from Spielberg it has gone into King, and how far it has gone from gentle subtext into constant and repeated plot information with no stage business to soften it

I had been loosely following RAM shortages, but Micron leaving the consumer market made me take a deeper look at what's happening.
If you're like me, and had filed away as 'a thing that is happening', it's worth starting to take a look, because this is getting pretty bad, pretty quick.

Wondering why everyone is suddenly talking about RAM? What's the big deal?
@patrickdane.bsky.social speaks to analysts and hardware experts like @matpiscatella.bsky.social, @superhys.bsky.social, and Daniel Owen to outline why RAM prices are skyrocketing, and what this means for videogames.

AI imagery is the equivalent of Plato’s prisoner being bored of sunlight, clambering down into a cave, shackling himself to a rock to watch shadows cast by firelight and forgetting that the world above exists.
this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

I think few things feel as validating to artists as having another artist draw your OCs.
It's like.... "Oh! You can see them too! Good. It's not just me."
