Fundamentally I think videogames are a medium that (most of the time) gets worse the more the texture is obfuscated. It is not a medium where it's beneficial to hide the artist's hand; The details of the craft are more compelling than the artifice.

"Mediocre!" (Positive connotation)

Hah ha get rekt ol musky and altman! Filling my "cyborg crab art" search results with ai slop only makes me MORE motivated to find the perfect art for my custom magic cards! 🕳️🤖🤛💨😤

Decks with 20 cards: Minimalist. Elegant. Exemplary. 35 cards: Not particularly optimised, but versatile while still being reliable... 50 cards: Hark! The Lord ought strike me down for my avarice! 125 cards: Far too much isn't even *close* to enough.

Don't wanna go too galaxy-brain about this, but it's incredible to see the *literal 1st person perspective* of someone who thinks "I can safely endorse violent fascists, because the state specifically protects *me* from violence" suddenly being confronted with the truth.

Code is liability. AI allows us to create tremendous amounts of liability very quickly

Can someone make an "extraction metroidvania" for me please? I wanna play Silksong with my Arc Raiders friends. Also if that isn't trendy enough already, I'm comfortable with adding friend-slop elements 💰📈✨🤔

Me, reading math stuff on Wikipedia to learn about collision detection: "Woah all these cool sci-fi words like Hyperplane and Disjoint Convex Set are kinda intimidating, the people who come up with this jargon must be super smart..." *I nervously click through more pages of big brain math stuff*

Today's dumb pun that evolved into an intrusive thought: (Because with all the balloons it's not so heavy, get it?) (Also, stories about intergenerational friendships and critiques of masculinity are great for all ages)

From the very first cave paintings humans have ached to see themselves reflected in the mirror of consciousness, to pass the world through a prism of common experience and make meaning from the threads of our shared humanity. Our entire economy now hinges on the idea that people don't

This is true Sci-Fi: •Narrative takes place in a hypothetical future •Scientific concepts (materials science) are elegantly woven in, and supports its themes •Explores ideas regarding human interaction, how it's influenced by technology, and how it's inseperable from social class •Ending is spooky
