This is a huge issue, for Wizards and many creative companies, and we miss out on a lot of great art because of it. The idea that a game company should own, say, a novel you write on your own time is like saying a restaurant should own any food their chef cooks at home.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I usually check out as many games as possible in Next Fest, but the tidal wave of AI trash has beaten me Non-AI indie devs please post your games below and I'll check em out instead Also @steampowered.com PLEASE add an option to filter out AI games in searches. It's killing discoverability #gaming

the story goes like this

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Sure, we're made of stardust but only borrowing it for a little while.

Hey, folks! I'm helping to source guests for a roundtable topical discussion show where a rotating panel of game designers talk about games, game design, and what's new in TTRPGs. If you'd be interested in appearing on a podcast like that next year-ish, shoot me a DM!

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

They should do an animated version of Moana.

Comedy Option: just kick England out

Dear internet I am going to eat the Franks Red Hot Spicy Halloween gummies so you don't have to

The firemen said to order takeout.

NYCC - I’m looking for a brand to work with / do an activation with. I haven’t been in a few years and I’d love to do a meet and greet as I know this is one of my biggest cities for my audience :) If that’s you email me! Info in bio :)

Massachusetts voter here. Ed Markey won because he is a real one, and he has been a real one for years, and people trust that. Principled progressives win - especially against AstroTurfed generational warfare with regressive talking points that undermine popular opinions.

1. Anti-trans Democrat Seth Moulton just lost his Senate primary in a LANDSLIDE to outspoken trans ally Ed Markey. To Moulton, trans kids were a liability the Democratic Party needed to abandon. But to Massachusetts voters, the only liabilities are Democrats like him.

Google sucks

A fitting end to an interview Tim Curry conducted with Hollywood Reporter just last year RIP

in heaven she will finally get the respect she deserves

Street art in her honor from SE Seattle

Tomorrow I'll be live on Youtube at 2pm eastern trying to build around WHTZ 🥳

i smurfed myself today to see if i still feel i focus on the smurf the only thing that's real

optimist: the cup is half full pessimist: the cup is half empty ttrpg editor: here you refer to the cup as half full, but in the next chapter, you refer to it as half empty. for clarity, we should standardize on one of them in the rules text, even if players might use both descriptions at the tabl

Perennial reminder that the big corporation does not care about you and there are better alternatives.

I cannot express this any better.... the frustration is real

URGENT! We just got a tip - someone saw a person carrying what looked very much like Tierney's head. The person boarded the 54 bus Southbound in Baltimore City. PLEASE boost this post! We might have any chance of recovering her if this post gets seen enough!

Hey! Did/Do you work at Saber Interactive? Were you replaced by AI (or do you suspect you were?) Wanna talk about it? Please get in touch. You can do so via discord @adashtra or Signal @adashtra.87 or even email aparrish@kotaku.com Reposts greatly appreciated

Being far from a classist, I do think of one of the things I have read - Aristotle's Poetics where (among other things) he defends the new kid tragedy from the bullying of fans of austere Epic Verse, noting the many things it does which Epic Verse doesn't, and how neat they are. This stuff is old.

I like watching my friends get retweeted by Gail Simone

It appears Paizo and Green Ronin Press have reached a settlement w/ Diamond Comics over its holding hundreds of thousands of dollars in books during bankruptcy filings.

What people using AI crave at root is an end to the uncertainty of human interaction and connection and its replacement with endless hollow affirmation and instant gratification. They should be pitied but never enabled or excused.

how many times a week do you think a Disney executive tries to pitch her team a John wick style reboot of this?
