Meta didn't allow anti LGBTQ slurs again because of free speech, it's because they hate LGBTQ people and want us gone.

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.

They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.
"Everything straight is actually gay" is my favourite kind of ragebait posts by these morons.

one of the more interesting rumors i've heard about Mr Beast is that there's been a fair number of engagement data faking for the past three or four years, and it has started to come up among advertisers after the awful Beast Game Show had miserable ratings

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

This level of attachment with computers being 'conversational' was noticed with one of the first chatbots called ELIZA in the late 60s. People have known about humans doing this for decades

If you view industry success only in terms of sales and disregard the health of tens of thousands of layoffs and consistent closures, you might fool yourself into thinking it'll plateau.
Will the games industry start growing again? Or are we now in a post-growth phase? If so, what will that mean?

Two industry leaders tackle both sides of the debate, and look at what the future might hold.

Actual question for mutuals:

Is the phrase "Kill your darlings" not generally common among 30+ year olds? I assumed it as was an "older" phrase but now I'm not so sure

I'll bite: do you remember *any single other line* the guards in Skyrim say?

Writing skill is being able to write "arrow to the knee" AND the lines that disappear into the larger tapestry. Narrative design skill is setting ATTK to happen 1% as often as any other line.

Chatgpt has neither.

Every time we're presented with data from this survey its worth contextualising it with a reminder of who attends GDC and fills out this survey.
"This is also reflected in the layoffs crisis. According to our survey 28% of people working in audio, game design, or visual arts experienced a layoff during the past two years (compared to 22% of those in programming, business, or operations)."
