I think it was Ed Pressman, film producer who said the biggest factor in creative success is staying in the ring the longest.
idk who needs to hear but: you’ll get there. it will happen. it may not look the way you expect or feel the way you wanted. but if you keep working it will happen

We don’t need to overcomplicate James Bond, - it’s a 2-hour sports-car & cigarette commercial that values style over substance, - and that’s fine, - cinema is a spectrum.

We need a different mechanism for crediting & licensing creative work, - current legal & distribution systems are simply unable ( and/or unwilling ) to protect professionals.
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Unironically true, - evolution in UGC will allow for some wildly interesting experiments developed by massive teams working asynchronously.

Intensity beats extensity, - Steam picked a lane, executed & relentlessly polished a service that satisfied both players & developers instead of trying to take over everything everywhere all at once. Terrible for all the mismanaged talent.
