This year we lost a Transformers, animation, and TV titan. I would like to take a moment to honor Ron Friedman, whose contributions added so much to the landscape of animation and Transformers with many iconic characters, one of which has had an enormous impact on my life and career

my most woke entomology opinion, backed by studies in the field, is Fuck your traditional lawn.
america has caused so much damage to beneficial bugs by encouraging pesticides & chemicals; all to have a lawn that looks as artificially green as their neighbors. + raking leaves is especially harmful!!

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Story driven games that aren't eye-candy 3D are a bit hard to advertise.
It's more akin to advertising a comic book, don't you think?

In fact it really reminds us of times when we were slowly wrapping up work on Zniw Adventure! Back then we had very little following, and could show a bit more out of context potential spoilers though...

I was obsessed with wolves in middle school and I still love them now. Makes me sad to think that people are still pushing to get rid if them in the US

*Even if* gen AI excelled at tasks
*Even if* gen AI had abuse-guardrails

It’s still built on scraping the world’s creative labour without consent.

It seems there are exactly two kinds of stories about generative AI:
1) wildly exuberant stories about what this stuff will do sometime really soon (trust us!), and
2) stories like this about how some actual use of gen AI fails fantastically
oh, wait, I forgot:
3) gen AI is pretty good at fraud

“Internal tests found that the AI was generating podcasts riddled with errors and bias, with anywhere between 68 and 84 percent of the scripts deemed unpublishable by evaluators across three rounds of testing.”

LRT + regarding using AI for placeholders in #gamedev
idk why would u use an unethical algo (which also burns our planet down) and rely on its biased (and thus limited) outcome...
When u could just make ur placeholder with just a mouse and old ms paint like everyone else have been doing instead?

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.
