I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

Maybe we should not all be forced to build games that require servers

This is soooo pleasing especially with SOUND ON!

i think ive paid gabe newell more from the proceeds of my games than i've paid the government, but gabe doesn't pave my roads or fund my schools or feed the kids in my community probably a few overdue conversations to be had about maybe paying less gabes before we pay less taxes or something

something v encouraging to see lately is how clear eyed people have become about assigning fault to institutions rather than individuals. BAFTA/BBC tried to throw that poor man under the bus by seating him where they did and airing what they did but no one’s buying it

Here's a little blog where I got a little in my feelings about Titanfall 2's Gauntlet, CS surfing, STRAFTAT, and the beta for the indie parkour game VHOLUME. aftermath.site/vholume-game...

Oh no. Oh nooooo. Xbox's new CEO is a natalist/birthrater. How did MS miss this in their opsec? Literal stone's throw away from the likes of Palmer Luckey. "Will my son have classmates in the future? ...the fertility rates are declining." Then she suggests the fix is... AI? Timestamped:

"relying on AI will mess up your brain" was already something I meant literally, but I have to admit I did not expect it to apply this literally. This is fucked up. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

two new lawsuit stories today:

All but the most radical leftist Western positions on Israel remain "an apartheid state committing genocide, extermination camps, infanticide, genocide, group rape, war crimes, having illegal nukes, terrorism, extrajudicial assassination and kidnapping are tolerable as long as Israel does it".

Grateful to see it all, finally, laid out. Makes me feel less crazy. But I’m so, so furious for all those who’ve been steamrolled and bulldozed by these monsters all along. So many who’ve suffered, friends I’ve lost, whose lives have been ruined, everyone gaslit, all in service of these predators.

Disappointing move by Bookshop Org. Supporting Spotify is not supporting artists. www.thebookseller.com/news/spotify...

Four tips for pitching your game to investors and publishers

The ASPS has come out against trans youth surgical care. The AMA then endorsed the ASPS. Meanwhile, WPATH's president-elect testified on behalf of a detransitioner who won their case. And hospitals capitulate to Trump. I write my indictment of the American medical system on trans youth care.

Can finally stop yelling "GIVE THAT MAN A GRAMMY" every time someone mentions @awintory.bsky.social. THEY GAVE THAT MAN A GRAMMY. www.gamedeveloper.com/audio/sword-...

Shout out to all the amazing Black game developers, media, and creatives across every part of making games. I’m rooting for y’all year-round. Go follow Black folks making games. We’re often ignored, then imitated. Tag some Black devs below and follow the ones you don’t know yet.

If you want to be miserable, focus on yourself. If you want to be happy, make other people happy. (Millennial rephrasing of a Sakyong Mipham quote.)

Wait wait wait, how are all you defining "best" for "best game of the year"? Because I use it to mean the one I loved the most. What else is there?

Harmeet Dhillon is in charge of voting rights for the Department of Justic.

1/2 If you know and are friendly with enough writers in your general cohort you will likely know one or two or a few who are "famous" for whatever value of "famous" is relevant to others. None of us knew who was going to be "famous" at the time, we just hung about enjoying each other's company. ALSO

I found out about this mod exactly one day too late

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

Microsoft should just start making the OG Xbox and Xbox 360s again and reopen Xbox Live for them. They'd make more money on that than the Series X.

I'm not going to re-write a whole piece I already wrote 8 years ago, so here www.vice.com/en/article/s...

Is this late stage capitalism or did someone press the 4 key twice? It is faux fur. Probably made in China. Stop blocking people from owning funny coats with these inflated prices. We need coats like this more than ever.

NEW: A devastating before and after montage of Rasheed Street in Gaza City. Put together by local photojournalist, Motaz Azaiza.

Snoop's ignorance reminds me of this dynamite passage from Bill Russell's book "Second Wind." He wrote this in 1979 and it still applies today: People use children to express their bigotry and narrow-mindedness.

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought

Republicans are straight up taking away insurance from those who need it most. Taking money away from people who can't afford groceries. Taking jobs from those who provide these services.
