Marathon is demon's souls for people who want apex legends to feel like destiny.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

I can’t imagine. Stay safe Sahil.

I heard someone describe it as metaphorically a dating sim and I’m deeply intrigued

FFXIV has frequently been cited as a high water mark in story!!

Played 1000xRESIST recently, enjoyed it thoroughly! Will check out The Heroes Around Me!

Ok friends- what are the recent high water marks for narrative in games? CP2077, BG3, Disco Elysium…?

HUGE

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

You should read RPG books even if you don't play them if you're working around any kind of narrative medium.

it was a good one!! 😂

$5.39, which for the six gallons I needed to top off my hybrid’s 10 gallon tank wasn’t anything to sweat over, but…. ……..

I should probably… go refuel the car at lunch >.>

dark german fairy tale adaptations? heeeeeell yeah

IM SICKOS

Ok! I’m up, getting hydrated, had my high carb morning shake, have my electrolytes ready. Tried taking some carnitine as soon as I woke up, will see how that goes!

Damn Diablo 2 still absolutely whips

Scheduling interviews for a different role! Crossed fingers in the chat! 🤞🤞

Another possible explanation: a book I bought 20 years ago can still be experienced as if brand new. A game I bought 20 years ago has “rotted” in some ways- sometimes literally (can no longer be played) but often figuratively (aesthetics and controls are wildly out of date by modern standards)

those are rookie numbers!!!

it is!!

Congratulations on the launch, Marathon friends! I’m excited to see a project that really leans into the pvp essence of the extraction shooter genre, I hope there’s as much demand there as I think there is!

(the preceding post was also a joke I have played at least three, one of which just so happens to be the game your project is directly referencing, fancy that)

(if you’re hiring game designers: the preceding post is a joke I am possibly one of the industry’s foremost experts in the question of what game designers do and also I have played exactly one video game)

I ask myself this every day

Generative AI doesn't know about decisions outside the immediate context box. You cannot interview it. It cannot answer for its behavior. Posting an image of a chatbox response explains nothing. It's as fraudulent a piece of information as an AI slop video that fakes a recording of a bombing. /🧵

Claude, like all generative AI systems right now, does not have knowledge of self. It lacks interiority. It cannot explain why it doesn't know things or why it does things. It does not know anything. It makes no decisions. It has no theory of mind.

Mar 4 2026 BlueSky post claiming that it explained why we bombed a school in Iran "INFORMATION THAT IS A DECADE OLD" and had A Claude chat answer as its source

Hey guys this is not a viable source. Besides the fact that any AI system being used by the government presumably has access to more updated date (I sure hope). Claude is not a person, it can't answer questions about why it did something, it confidently lies, it doesn't have access to other's state.

Oh yes with the demon fighting for his soul…! That was a cool moment!
